Range

The range readout 1 indicates how far you can ride with the fuel remaining in the tank. This distance is calculated on the basis of average consumption and the quantity of fuel on board.

• When the motorcycle is propped on its side stand the slight angle of inclination means that the sensor cannot register the fuel level correctly.

  This is the reason why the range is recalculated only when the side stand is in the retracted position.

• The range is shown together with a warning once the fuel reserve has been reached.
• After a refuelling stop, range is recalculated if the amount of fuel in the tank is greater than the reserve quantity.
• The calculated range is only an approximate figure.

Recommendation to upshift

The recommendation to upshift in 1 view 2 or in status line indicates the best time to upshift to conserve fuel.

Bluetooth

Short-range wireless technology

The Bluetooth function might not be available in certain countries.

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology. Bluetooth devices are short-range devices transmitting on the license-free ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) between 2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz. They can be operated anywhere in the world without a licence being required.

Although Bluetooth is designed to establish and sustain robust connections over short distances, as with every other wireless technology disruptions are possible. Interference can affect connections or connections can sometimes fail. Particularly when multiple devices operate in a Bluetooth network, with wireless technology of this nature it is not possible to ensure fault-free communications in every situation.

Possible sources of interference:

• interference zones due to transmission masts and similar.
• devices with non-compliant Bluetooth implementations.
• proximity of other Bluetooth-compatible devices.

Pairing

Two Bluetooth devices have to recognise each other before they can communicate. This process of mutual recognition is known as pairing. When two devices have paired they remember each other, so the pairing process is conducted only once, on initial contact.

NOTICE On some mobile devices, e.g. those with iOS operating systems, the BMW Motorrad Connected App must be opened before use.

During the pairing process, the TFT display searches for other Bluetooth-compatible devices within its reception range. The conditions that have to be satisfied before the audio system can recognise another device are as follows:

• The device's Bluetooth function must be active
• The device must be "visible" to others
• The device must support the A2DP profile
• Other Bluetooth-compatible devices must be OFF (e.g. mobile phones and navigation systems).

Please consult the operating instructions for your communication system.

Pairing

• Call up the Settings, Connections menu.

  Bluetooth connections can be established, managed and deleted in the CONNECTIONS menu. The following Bluetooth connections are displayed:
