About this guide
In order to limit our paper consumption, and as part of our •
environmentally friendly and responsible approach, Parrot
prefers to put user documents online rather than print them
out. This simplified guide to the Parrot RnB4C is there fore
limited to providing you with the main instructions that will
make it easy for you to use the device. More information
can be found on the Support & Downloads section of our
website, www.parrot.com: the full manual, FAQs, tutorials,
and more.
This quick start guide describes the use of both Parrot •
RnB4C and Parrot [TBD]. Only the Parrot RnB4C features
the voice recognition in music mode and [TBD] features.
Consequently the explanations concerning these features
do not apply for the Parrot [TBD].
Phone compatibility
The availability of several functionalities only depends
on the model of your mobile phone. Refer to the Sup-
port section of our website for more information.
are available on the compatibility section of our website.
You will find pairing procedures and the list of available features
(audio streaming, phonebook automatic synchronisation...) for
the most common phones.
Software updates
Download the latest update for free (and check the
update procedure) on our website www.parrot.com,
in the Support & Downloads section. These upda-
tes will enable you to receive new features and
improve the product’s compatibility.
Warning
All functions requiring an increased attention should only be •
used while the vehicle is stationary. Your safety and the one
of the other road users prevails over your phone call. Be
responsible: drive carefully and pay full attention to your sur-
rounding. Parrot denies any liability should you choose not
to respect this warning.
Use the Parrot RnB4C with a reasonable volume level so that •
you can hear all external noises while driving.
The Parrot RnB4C includes NdFeB magnets which can •
damage objects sensitive to magnetic fields (pacemakers,
credit cards, mechanical clocks…). To avoid these effects,
keep the front panel in its case and keep a safe distance
between the front panel and all objects that can be dam-
aged by magnetism.
Steering wheel control interface
A steering wheel control interface can be used to connect your
vehicle’s steering wheel controls to your Parrot car stereo.
With this interface (available in [TBD]), you will be able to make
phone calls via the steering wheel controls while keeping your
hands on the wheel. Refer to our website www.parrot.com for
more information.

Installation
We advise our customers to have the Parrot RnB4C
fitted by a professional.
Safety instructions
Turn the ignition off before installing the Parrot RnB4C.•
Install the Parrot RnB4C only on vehicles with a 12 V bat-•
tery.
Place all cables away from hot places (heater outlet) and •
moving parts (gear shift, seat rails...).
Before you begin
Remove your car stereo from your vehicle. You may need •
release keys to do so.
Try to connect the audio and power connectors of the Parrot •
RnB4C to the connectors of your vehicle. If this connection
is impossible, you have to obtain an ISO adapter before in-
stalling the Parrot RnB4C.
Compare the Parrot RnB4C antenna connector to the •
antenna connector of your vehicle. If an adapter is
necessary, contact your local car audio specialist.
Installing the car stereo
Specific installation diagrams for your vehicle are
available on our website www.parrot.com.
Insert the cage and fix it into the dashboard using the 1.
bracket mounting tab.
Access the vehicles car stereo wiring harness from 2.
behind the dashboard.
Connect the audio and power connectors of the Parrot 3.
RnB4C to the ones of your vehicle.
Slide the car stereo into the Parrot RnB4C cage.4.
Checking the wiring
Once all the connections are made, turn the ignition on then •
off to perform the installation test. The “Goodbye!” message
must be displayed.
If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of •
the red and orange wires. Indeed, the red wire of the power
cable must be connected to the permanent 12V, the orange
wire to the 12V ignition and the black wire to the ground.
This can be done simply by reversing both fuse holders lo-
cated on the Parrot wiring.
Installing the audio cables
Connect the iPod, USB and Jack cables to the Parrot RnB4C
and drill a [TBD] mm hole in your dashboard (glove compart-
ment or parcel tray) to let the connectors out.
Installing the microphone
Make sure the microphone is installed as close to the mouth •
of the user as possible. The ideal distance is 60 cm. The
best possible location for the microphone is near the rear-
view mirror.
The microphone needs to be pointed towards the user.•

the eject button on the left.
To attach the faceplate, put it on the right side of the car •
