Using Hands-free 
Calling
Using Bluetooth technology, your Navigator 
IV can connect to your mobile phone and 
wireless headset/helmet to become a hands-
free device. 
To determine whether your device with 
Bluetooth technology is compatible with the 
Navigator IV, go to www.garmin.com
/bluetooth. 
 NoTe: While most phones and headsets 
are supported and can be used, it cannot 
be guaranteed that a particular phone or 
headset can be used. All features may not 
be available for your phone.
Pairing Your Devices
Bluetooth wireless technology establishes 
a wireless link between devices, such as a 
mobile phone and the Navigator IV. The first 
time you use two devices together, you must 
“pair” them by establishing a relationship 
using a PIN/passkey. After the initial pairing,  the two devices can connect automatically 
each time you turn them on.

Navigator IV must be turned on and be 
within 33 feet (10 meters) of each other. The 
Navigator IV can be connected to a phone 
and a headset at the same time.
Initiate pairing from your Navigator IV or 
from your device. Refer to the instructions 
for your devices.

to connect to the last device to which it was 
connected. You might have to set your device 
to connect to the Navigator IV automatically 
when it is turned on.
