Setup and Installation
1. Physical Installation:
- Mounting the Module:
Attach the visor mount clip to the BTM60 module. Securely clip the module to your vehicle's sun visor, ensuring the microphone is facing towards you for optimal voice pickup. Alternatively, the module can be mounted using adhesive if preferred, ensuring it is in a location that does not obstruct your view or vehicle controls.
- Connecting to Your Dual Stereo:
Locate the dedicated Bluetooth interface port on the back of your compatible Dual car stereo. This port is typically a small, multi-pin connector. Carefully plug the integrated connection cable from the BTM60 module into this port. Ensure the connection is firm and secure.
Note: Refer to your Dual car stereo's instruction manual for the exact location of the Bluetooth interface port and any specific installation requirements.
- Cable Routing:
Route the connection cable discreetly to avoid interference with vehicle operation and to maintain a tidy appearance. You may need to temporarily remove trim panels or route the cable under the dashboard.
2. Bluetooth Pairing:
- Power On: Turn on your vehicle's ignition and your Dual car stereo.
- Activate Bluetooth Mode: On your Dual car stereo, select the Bluetooth audio source or enter Bluetooth pairing mode. Refer to your stereo's manual for specific instructions on how to do this. The stereo display should indicate "Pairing" or "Discoverable."
- Enable Bluetooth on Your Phone: On your mobile phone, go to the Bluetooth settings menu and ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Search for Devices: Your phone will scan for available Bluetooth devices. Look for a device named "Dual BTM60" or similar.
- Select and Pair: Select "Dual BTM60" from the list of found devices on your phone. If prompted for a passcode, enter "0000" (four zeros).
- Confirmation: Once successfully paired, your phone and car stereo will confirm the connection. The stereo display may show "Connected" or a Bluetooth icon.
Note: Some phones may require you to confirm the connection or allow access to contacts.
Operating Instructions
Making a Call:
- Voice Dialing: Press the TALK button on the BTM60 module. If your phone and stereo support voice dialing, you may be prompted to speak a command or contact name.
- Dialing from Phone: You can also initiate a call directly from your mobile phone. The audio will automatically transfer to the BTM60 module and your car speakers once the call connects.

Ending a Call:
- To end an active call, press the TALK button on the BTM60 module. The stereo will then return to the previous audio source.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the module. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: If storing the module for an extended period, disconnect it from the stereo and store it in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
