Pairing a Cell Phone

You must pair an approved Bluetooth-compatible phone to the HFL system before you can make and receive calls. For a current list of approved phones and specific phone pairing instructions for each phone, see CHECKING CELL PHONE COMPATIBILITY , go to handsfreelink.honda.com, or call 888-528-7876.

The following procedure works for most approved phones. If you cannot pair a phone to the HFL system with this procedure, refer to the phone's operating manual, the vehicle's owner's manual, visit handsfreelink.honda.com, or call 888-528-7876.

NOTE:

You cannot pair a phone while the vehicle is moving.
Your phone must be in Discovery Mode.
A maximum of six Bluetooth-compatible phones can be paired to the system.
Some non-approved phones may pair to the HFL system, but some features may not work, or the phone may cause the HFL system to malfunction.

With the phone on and the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II), press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say "Phone setup." The HFL responds, "Phone setup options are pair, edit, delete, list, status, next phone, set pairing code."
Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say "Pair." The HFL responds, "The pairing process requires operation of your mobile phone. For safety, only perform this function while the vehicle is stopped. For proper system function a compatible bluetooth phone is required. Please visit handsfreelink.honda.com for a list of approved phones and other system information. Handsfreelink is waiting to pair with a bluetooth phone. From your phone, search for bluetooth devices, and select handsfreelink. When prompted by your mobile phone enter the pairing code XXXX." The HFL system gives you a 4-digit pairing code.
When prompted by your mobile phone, enter the pairing code. Refer to your cell phone user guide for more information about searching for a Bluetooth device.
Once the phone is recognized by the HFL system, it responds, "Handsfreelink has connected to a new phone. A name is needed to identify this phone. Press the TALK button and say a name. For example, John's phone."
Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say the name you want to use. For example, say "Tom's phone." The HFL responds, "Tom's phone has been successfully paired. Returning to the main menu."
NOTE: If no phones are paired to the system when you press the TALK button, the system asks if you want to pair a phone. Press the TALK button and say "Yes." The system then proceeds to step 2.
