Bluetooth Technology Workshop: The BlackBerry Phone and the Ford Sync System
Let’s face it, and sometimes telephones do not appear to work correctly with Ford’s Sync device. So is the problem with Sync, or is it with the phone? The open architecture of the Sync structures permits it to work with a wide variety of telephones. When issues occur, you have to run down a list to check where the problems lie, and Blackberry phones are global unto themselves.
One issue that makes this so frustrating is that a lot of businesses choose Blackberry phones as the “organization phone.” So, as a user, you may not want this sort of cell phone; however, your company does. Since it is no longer as common as a phone, finding answers to questions may also seem more challenging. The goal of this workshop is to help address a few fundamental problems.
So let’s look at some of the commonplace BlackBerry/Sync problems and give some good answers. One of these issues is that while you try to pair a BlackBerry, and inside the center of the pairing process, the Sync gadget goes into “privacy mode” and appears to freeze the machine.
First of all, constantly ensure the Wi-Fi connection is always on in your smartphone. Turn this selection off for now, as it will conflict with the Pairing method.
As an added precaution, pull the back down of the telephone. Keep the battery out for approximately a minute and reinsert it. Place the phone back on the return. Let the device power up. This technique takes numerous minutes but lets the telephone run through its start-up tactics.
Go to your Settings folder on your BlackBerry. Turn on Bluetooth. Go in your automobile and flip it on. Push the Phone Icon on the steering wheel or the dashboard. This turns on the “Phone Menu,” which in a few seconds might also display the text “No Phone Found.” Then it’d say, “Add Device.” Push the OK button on the dashboard or the steering wheel. The voice will come over to the vehicle sound machine to say, “Push the OK button to begin the pairing process.” Push the OK button. The voice will say, “Enter the PIN variety displayed on your device.” Since this is a Blackberry, turn the tuning knob on the dashboard till the LED indicates “Special PIN.” Push OK. It will display the wide variety “0000.” If it does not, turn the tuning knob till it suggests a 4-digit PIN, then press the OK button.
Now go to your phone, set it to look for Bluetooth devices. In some moments, it will discover devices, while the show shows “Sync” as a determined tool, then push the “Home” button on the BlackBerry (it is the principal manipulation control within the center). The device will display a secondary display screen where you may enter the four-digit PIN. Then hit the OK button on the smartphone. Another display seems to have a few questions. Scroll down and mark the button that asks if the Sync connection has to stay connected continually. Then scroll up and keep the button Yes for connecting to Sync. Then the dashboard display and voice will lead you through some other prompts. Push OK for the question, “Set as Primary Phone?” Push OK for the query “Turn on 911 Assist?” Note, if you don’t, the voice may also come on whenever you turn on the auto. It will make the statement, “You are reminded that 911 Assist is about to go off.” Then, Sync will ask the question, “Download Phone Book?” Press the OK button and permit the Sync device to take its time to download the contacts. When completed, the device will display “Download Complete.” You can push the Phone Icon for about five seconds, and it will clear the display. You are geared up to apply to your phone.
Push the “Voice” icon at the guidance wheel (the symbol looks like a mouth with sound coming out). The Sync machine will make a chime and complete the declaration, “Sync, country your command.” Then you can say “Phone.” It will repeat, “Phone, kingdom your command.” Then say “Call + (Name of your contact as you’ve got saved it for your telephone e-book).” Or, say “Dial” and Sync will prompt you with “Number please.”
