Installation guide
6.1 Determination of required confi guration
Before installation of your EGO TALK, please note which features and connection options are provided by your car audio
system. It is advantageous when your audio has the following: a muting function, phone input and line-in. You can fi nd out
which of these input options your audio system has in the documentation provided.
6.1.1 Vehicle
The hands-free system may only be installed in vehicles with a negative grounded, 12 V electrical system. If no car audio is
installed, an add-on speaker will be required. For the installation of the optional charging cradle, you will require a model-
specifi c mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer
6.1.2 Telephone
A Bluetooth®-compatible telephone must be available for use with this system. You can fi nd a list of supported Bluetooth®
telephones online at www.fwd-online.de.
6.1.3 Muting (radio muting)
The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The system
supports the muting function. Your car`s audio documentation will show whether your car audio has a mute option. If your
car audio is not equipped with a muting option, you can install the optionally available Stereo Mute Box to facilitate speaker
muting.
6.1.4 Upgrading existing Funkwerk hands-free installations to EGO TALK
The adapter cable is the ideal and simple solution for customers who already own a Funkwerk hands-free system (e.g.
Audio 2000, 3000, Audio blue, Audio com, Audio compact) and would like to upgrade to EGO TALK. The adapter cable
connects the ISO cable of your existing Funkwerk hands-free system to the EGO TALK.
NOTE! This simple upgrade is only possible for installations without a Stereo Mute Box. When installing your EGO TALK with
a Stereo Mute Box, the ISO cable from the Stereo Mute Box is to be used for the connection to the car’s electrical system.

q
6.1.5 Add-on speakers / Car audio telephone connection
The car’s loudspeakers are transferred to the system is by means of switch contacts. These are designed for a peak power
handling of 35 W (Sinus). Loudspeaker power handling exceeding 35 W leads to premature wear on the switching contacts.
For higher outputs, use the telephone connection of the car audio or a 5 W / 4-Ohm satellite speaker. This port is only
designed for voice reproduction.
6.1.6 Car audio line-in input
A car audio with a line-in input option is required for music reproduction in stereo. As an alternative to line-in, the car
audio may have a mini-ISO port (block connector C), a 0.14 in jack socket or a RCA input socket. An appropriate adapter
lead is required for the connection between the EGO TALK line-out and the line-in version of your audio system. If your
car audio system has no line-in option, you can employ the optionally available Stereo Mute Box for stereo reproduction in
combination with your car’s front speakers.
6.2 Installation locations
RISK OF INJURY! Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injury in an accident (or emergency braking)
situation, or may inhibit the correct functioning of essential safety equipment.
6.2.1 Checking cable lengths
Before you’ve securely installed the components, check that
the installation locations have been selected in such a way
that the cable length is suffi cient to connect the individual
components.
6.2.2 Selection of the installation location for the
electronics box
The Bluetooth® antenna for the connection to the mobile
phone is installed in the electronics box. The antenna
transmits directionally towards the front. For this reason,
q
Fig. 02:
Signal transmission of
the Bluetooth® antenna
EGO TALK
during installation, ensure that the antenna faces into
the passenger cell (see Fig. 02). Vertical mounting is
ideal. Metallic screening between the front panel and the
passenger cell, such as metal or metallised plastic panels,
are unsuitable and may interfere with the Bluetooth®
connection. Locations behind the dashboard or in a metal-
lined glove compartment are also unsuitable.
A covering in plastic, fabric or wood presents no problems
whatsoever.
Suitable locations for the electronics box:
Passenger side, next to the middle console under the
paneling, model-specifi c installation console (dealer).
Our suggested installation locations are shown in the illustration on the right.
Further unsuitable locations are:
Leg and knee height, potential head impact zone, airbag infl ation space, engine compartment
6.2.3 Selection of the point of installation for the microphone
Suitable for the microphone:
Where voice can reach the microphone unhindered (distance
between the speaker and the microphone should be
approx. 13.78 in), on the A-column (between windshield and
driver’s side window), next to the driver‘s sun visor, on the
dashboard
Unsuitable for the microphone:
Close to the speakers (less than 31 in), under the dashboard,

LED indicators
Two different coloured LEDs (red and green) are integrated in the EGO TALK. The LEDs indicate the current status of the
system. The following combinations are possible.
LED Status
→ Green blinks at intervals → no device coupled
→ Both red and green steadily on → Hands-free connection enabled (hands-free mode)
→ Green only on → A2DP active (music mode)
→ Green steadily on and red momentarily off → Music playback stopped (Both profi les enabled,
hands-free mode)
→ Red steadily on and green blinks periodically → active call
7.3 Getting started
Take enough time to familiarize yourself with the use of the system in combination with your phone. First of all, make a
few calls to determine the ideal volume and the best voice pick-up direction before using the system in traffi c. The best
way of optimizing conditions of use is to park your car in a quiet place especially for this purpose. It is also helpful if
another phone user can take some time to assist you when making test calls.
7.3.1 About Bluetooth® technology
Bluetooth® technology is a wireless technology and allows, as such, communication between individual devices without
the need for cables. Data and voice information can be transmitted simultaneously. It is not unnecessary to have line-of-
sight routing between the devices. The transmission/reception range in the open is typically 32.8 feet. Interference from
other electrical or electronic equipment or obstacles may, however, reduce this range. The frequency band in which
Bluetooth® operates, is reserved virtually worldwide. This coupled with the fact that each Bluetooth® product is tested
and approved for compatibility with other Bluetooth devices, ensures the highest possible levels of compatibility with
devices from a wide range of manufacturers. The EGO TALK supports the Bluetooth® Hands-free Profi le. This means
that it is fully compatible with all phones supporting the Bluetooth® Hands-free Profi le. If uncertain, read the User Guide
of your mobile phone to see which profi les are supported.
EGO TALK
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le) is a technology that enables the wireless transmission of stereo audio
signals via Bluetooth® to a compatible receiving device. Please take a look at our homepage for information about
compatible mobile phones.
7.3.2 On / Off function
Turning the ignition key simultaneously activates the hands-free system. Immediately after the system is activated, the
two LEDs blink four times. This indicates that the system is in standby mode and ready to make a connection. In order
to use the system for phone calls, a Bluetooth® compatible phone must be coupled to the EGO TALK system. How this
is done is explained in detail in the following sections. When the ignition is turned off, the hands-free system also shuts
down. If the ignition is turned off during a call, the phone’s capabilities are maintained and the system only shuts down
when the call has been completed.
7.3.3 Coupling
A mobile phone intended for use with the hands-free system must be coupled to the EGO TALK. As long as no devices
are connected, the system is visible for all Bluetooth® devices. In this state, the green LED blinks every 7.5 seconds to
indicate that no devices are connected. The telephone to be used must be registered with the EGO TALK. The Bluetooth®
search and coupling procedure is initiated from the telephone. Die Bluetooth® code is “EGO TALK”. The default input
PIN is “0000”. When the connection/coupling procedure is successfully completed, both diodes are steadily on. One
phone per user may be coupled. If you wish to couple an additional phone, use your initial phone to decouple the current
connection. Should you encounter problems while coupling, please read the section “Solving Problems”, and take a look
in your phone manual at the section about Bluetooth® operations.
7.3.4 Automatic coupling
If a phone is already connected with the system, the EGO TALK tries to couple to this phone. When a connection has
been successfully made, the two LEDs are steadily on. The connection is always made to the most recently coupled
phone. If this phone is out of range, the system will search for other phones registered in the system. When the search is
successful, the connection to this phone is completed automatically. If the search process was unsuccessful, the system
reverts to the coupling mode. This enables manual connection from the phone.
24 | 25
7.4 C a ll i n g
7.4.1 Incoming call
When an incoming call is received, the ring tone is audible over the EGO TALK. At the same time, the green LED blinks

7.5.1 Coupling
Coupling with music players varies from model to model. If you are using a phone that supports both hands-free and
A2DP, there is no need to repeat the coupling procedure, because the phone is already coupled to the system. However,
when using a player that does not support A2DP (MP3 Player), this must be equipped with a separate A2DP adapter. In
the case of such players, there may be no connection between the EGO TALK and your phone when coupling for the first
time, otherwise the stand-alone device will be unable to find the EGO TALK unit. In this case, the connection to the phone
must be disabled. Once the device has been recognised, a direct connection will be made to your EGO TALK, even when
q

a phone connection already exists. A2DP compatible phone models differ in the method of starting music players. You
can find more information on this subject on our homepage.

temporarily stopped by the key (pause function) and resumed by repressing the same key (resume function).

Playback can be stopped when listening to music by pressing the key. The key can also be used to stop music
playback and switch to hands-free mode.
