FORD 2013 Escape v.2 - Manual (Page 360)

Note: Do not connect the audio input jack
to a line level output. The AIJ only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume control.
Note: Do not set the portable media
player's volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD
or FM radio as this causes distortion and
reduces sound quality.
Note: If the audio sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable media
player volume down. If the problems
persists, replace or recharge the batteries
in the portable media player.
Note: The portable media player must be
controlled in the same manner when it is
used with headphones as the AIJ does not
provide control (e.g., play or pause) over the
attached portable media player.
PHONE
Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. Once you pair your
phone, you can access many options using
the touchscreen or voice commands. While
the system supports a variety of features,
many are dependent on your cellular
phone's functionality.
At a minimum, most cellular phones with
Bluetooth wireless technology support the
following functions:
•
Answering an incoming call
• Ending a call
• Using privacy mode
• Dialing a number
• Redialing
• Call waiting notification
• Caller ID.
Other features such as text messaging
using Bluetooth and automatic phonebook
download are phone-dependent features.
To check your phone's compatibility, see
your phone's user manual and visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or

Pairing Your Phone for the First
Time
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, accident and
injury. Ford strongly recommends
that drivers use extreme caution when
using any device that may take their focus
off the road. Your primary responsibility is
the safe operation of the vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving, encourage
the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of
applicable state and local laws that may
affect use of electronic devices while
driving.
The first thing you must do to use SYNC's
phone features is to pair your
Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone with
SYNC. This allows you to use your phone
in a hands-free manner.
Note: Put the transmission in position P.
Turn on your vehicle ignition and the radio.
1. Touch Add Phone in the upper left
corner of the touchscreen.
2. Make sure that Bluetooth is set to On
and that your cellular phone is in the
proper mode. See your phone's user
guide if necessary.
