BT Drive Free 112
This wireless Bluetooth hands-free system was developed specifically for users who want to use
their cell phone while driving. The multi-connection function allows the simultaneous use of the BT
Drive Free 112 with two cell phones. Its improved microphone system and DSP technology for echo
cancelling and noise suppression achieve an excellent hand-free quality.
Bluetooth technology
BluetoothTM is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, inc. Bluetooth is a wireless communication
technology with short range. It enables wireless connections between all compatible portable and
stationary communication devices. The technology is based on a radio connection that ensures a fast
and reliable transmission of voice and data information.
Bluetooth is oriented to the worldwide applicable standard for operating in the internationally
recognized ISM frequency band (Industrial Scientific & Medical). Within the ISM band (2.4 GHz to
2.48 GHz), the Bluetooth transmission operates 1600 times per second between 79 different
frequencies with a data transmission range of up to 10 meters (Class 2).

Battery information
The device is equipped with an integrated lithium-polymer battery. The battery cannot be replaced.
Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device since it would damage the device. The full
performance of a new battery is not achieved until after two or three complete charging-discharging
cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged several hundred times, but it looses its capacity
over time.
Disconnect the BT Drive Free 112 from the power supply as soon as the battery is fully charged,
since overcharging would reduce the service life of the battery. A charged battery looses its capacity
if it is not used. Important: Ensure that the battery is fully charged if you do not use the device for a
longer period of time. To avoid a complete discharge of the battery, the BT Drive Free 112 should be
charged at least every 2 months.

the BT Drive Free 112 with the vehicle charging adapter via the USB cable. Insert the vehicle
charging adapter into the cigarette lighter of the vehicle. The BT Drive Free 112 can also be charged
with the USB cable connected to the computer.

Multi-connection function
The multi-connection function allows the simultaneous use of the BT Drive Free 112 with two cell
phones. This is advantageous for users with a personal and a business cell phone.
Establishing a connection with two cell phones
There are several options of connecting the BT Drive Free 112with already registered cell phones.
– Automatic connection
When switching on the BT Drive Free 112, a connection is automatically established with the two
most recently connected cell phones.
– Establishing a connection via the BT Drive Free 112
To manually establish a connection between the BT Drive Free 112 and the two most recently
connected cell phones, press the MF button. The BT Drive Free 112 first connects itself with the
most recently connected cell phone. Then it connects itself with the next most recently connected
one.
– Establishing a connection via the cell phone
If the cell phone is not one of the two most recently connected cell phones with the BT Drive Free
112, you have to establish the connection via the Bluetooth menu of the cell phone. After successful
connection, you can establish another connection with a second cell phone. This allows you to
determine the sequence of connections.
If two cell phones are connected with the BT Drive Free 112, the cell phone connected first is the
first device and the other one the second device. Another connection can be established only after
first disconnecting one of the two cell phones. The cell phone which is still connected afterwards
becomes the first device in the sequence.
Note that voice dialing is available only for the first device and the operation for redialing the last
number differs for the first and the second device. The other functions are executed the same way
using the BT Drive Free 112 as a connection with only one cell phone.
