Notes on the Operating Instructions

The following reading aids are used to simplify these Operating Instructions:

1. request you to do something.

• identifies a list.

1 gives you additional information on the current subject.

identifies a safety or warning notice. This contains important information on how to use

your unit safely. Failure to observe this information may result in a risk of damage or injury.

Therefore, please observe this information with particular care.

ATTENTION:

Important information for safe use.

Make all inputs via the remote control only when the vehicle is stationary, or have the

passenger make them. Otherwise, you may endanger the occupants and other road users.

Making a phone call while driving can greatly reduce your attention and distract you

from the traffic situation. In order to avoid endangering the occupants and other road users,

the driver should not make phone calls while driving. Observe local regulations relating to

making phone calls in the vehicle.

Switch off the telephone at petrol stations, chemical plants, fuel depots or similar facili-

ties, or leave it switched off.

Operation of the telephone near the GSM antenna can cause malfunction of medicinal

devices such as heart pacemakers or hearing aids.

Do not touch the GSM antenna during a call.

Registration

After purchasing your VDO Dayton hands-free unit, please complete the enclosed reply

card and send it to the address shown.

MG2100_en.book Page 9 Friday, May 18, 2001 1:15 PM

OPERATION

What can the hands-free unit do?

In addition to the typical advantages of hands-free units, the VDO Dayton hands-free unit

offers the options of call number selection via voice dialling, as well as the recording of

memos (recorder).

Operation is greatly simplified by a large LCD monitor and the removable remote control.

Whereas the model MG 2100 is designed as an independent system, the system extension

MG 2150 is used when the navigation system MS 3100/PC 4000 has already been installed.

Here, the existing monitor and the existing remote control are used for both systems, and

switchover

– from navigation to phone is performed by selecting the options “Telephone” in the

main menu of the navigation or by selecting the phone symbol in the destination

screen

– from phone to navigation is performed by selecting the option “Navigation” in the

main menu of the hands-free unit or by selecting thesymbol (if visible in the respec-

tive display).

Mobile phones

The hands-free units are only suitable for the mobile phones specified on the control unit

or on the packaging.

Do not attempt to insert other mobile phones into the holder. This can cause serious dam-

age to the hands-free unit and to the mobile phone.

Functions

The hands-free unit offers the following functions:

• menu-guided operation via the LCD monitor

• voice messages from the system

• call number selection by voice dialling a saved name

• personal phone book (max. 40 entries) for call number selection via voice dialling

• voice recording (memos / partner during call)

• writing and reading text messages (SMS) via the large LCD display

• in conjunction with MS 3100/PC 4000: automatic switchover to phone mode for incom-

ing calls and switching back to navigation after the callends or during the call by select-

ing the symbol .

The functions of the hands-free unit are controlled via the infrared remote control with

illuminated buttons.

Mute function

When the “Mute” signal is connected to the “Mute” input (if present) of the radio, the

radio is automatically muted when making a call with the hands-free unit.

MG2100_en.book Page 10 Friday, May 18, 2001 1:15 PM

Display language

The language for the screen displays and for the system voice messages can be selected in

the “Settings” menu; see “System Settings” on Page 29. Possible selections include:

• English

• German

• Dutch

• Spanish

• French

Ringing tone / volume

The hands-free unit adopts the ringing tone of the mobile phone. The ringing tone and

volume can therefore be set on the mobile phone.

Operation

The functions of the hands-free unit are operated via special menus that are only dis-

played when the mobile phone is functional. The functions and inputs are controlled via

the remote control’s buttons which have the following functions here:

ALT-R

OPERATION

1 The two steps of highlighting a menu entry with the cursor followed by pressing the

OK button on the remote control are referred to in the sections below as “selecting” a

function / option.

Putting into operation

There must be a suitable mobile phone in the holder in order to use the hands-free unit.

Before inserting a mobile phone, remove the protective cap for the antenna connection

on the telephone.

Switching on

The hands-free unit is switched on automatically with the ignition or can be switched on

again by switching on the mobile phone in the holder within approx. 15 minutes of the

ignition being switched off.

1 In conjunction with the MS 3100/PC 4000 navigation system, the navigation system

starts first, if the hands-free unit is connected correctly the system can be switched to the

phone functions via the “Phone” option in the navigation main menu. The following

descriptions with regards to displays, messages etc. therefore only apply after

switching from navigation to phone mode.

If there is no mobile phone in the holder, “Phone out” is displayed on the monitor. Place

the telephone in the holder.

1 On some mobile phones (see associated operating instructions), the connection to a

car hands-free unit should now be indicated by a special symbol (car symbol).

Whenever the system is not functional (no SIM card in phone, PIN number not entered, no

reception or during system initialisation), “Phone not ready” is displayed on the monitor.

Only in conjunction with MS 3100/PC 4000 navigation system:

If you switch over from navigation to telephone and if the phone is not functional, the

message “Phone not ready” appears. After a short time, the system switches back to the

navigation screen automatically. (This can be done manually by pressing the MENU

button and then selecting the “Navigation” option.)

If the system is functional, the ‘start screen’ appears on the monitor; see “start screen” on

page 13.

If there is a mobile phone in the holder when the ignition is switched on, this is also

switched on. The monitor initially displays “Phone not ready”. After the correct PIN

number has been entered on the mobile phone and reception is adequate, the start screen

appears.

MG2100_en.book Page 12 Friday, May 18, 2001 1:15 PM

OPERATION

English

Switching off

The hands-free unit is automatically switched off shortly after the ignition is switched off

(but calls in progress are not interrupted).

If there is a mobile phone in the holder, this also switches itself off automatically a short

time later. The monitor is also switched off shortly afterwards.

The system then goes into stand-by mode for approx. 15 minutes. During this time, a mo-

bile phone in the holder is recharged if necessary.

After approx. 15 minutes in stand-by mode, the system switches itself off completely.

1 Nokia mobile phones only:

If a button is pressed on the phone while the display shows that the phone will switch off

if not operated, the phone and the hands-free unit remain switched on.

15 minutes after the last use, the hands-free unit then switches off.

Start Screen

The following screen appears after the hands-free unit is switched on.

The name of the network operator is displayed under the title line (name of the respective

menu).

Symbols for particular functions are displayed on the bottom edge (for the meanings see

below) and these can be selected with the 4 and 6 cursor buttons.

These and all the other functions can also be called up via the main menu. To jump to the

main menu, in the start screen it is only necessary to press the

button on the re-

mote control.

1 Pressing the 8 button directly calls up the list of the last call numbers dialled. Pressing

the 2 button calls up the list of phone book entries. This makes call numbers quick to

find and select.

Field strength display

The field strength of the telephone reception signal is shown on the left edge by the

number of solid rectangles above the field strength symbol (max. 4).
