Pairing Bluetooth Devices

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted
connections between your phone and another Bluetooth
device. When devices are paired, a passcode (sometimes
called a PIN) is shared between devices, allowing for fast,
secure connections while bypassing the discovery and
authentication process.

To pair your phone with another Bluetooth device:

1.

Select

> Tools > Bluetooth> <Add New> > Search.

(Your phone will display a list of discovered in-range
Bluetooth devices.)

2.

Select the device you wish to pair with and press

.

3.

Select Add to Trusted.

4.

Enter the PIN and press

. (When the owner of the other

device enters the same PIN, the pairing is complete.)

Note:

Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-

compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and functions
such as transfer or exchange may not be possible.

Waiting for Request

If you are going to be using a Dial-Up Network (DUN) profile to
pair with a PC or PDA, you will need to allow the other device
to initiate pairing with your phone.

To allow your phone to be paired with another Bluetooth device:

1.

Select

> Tools > Bluetooth> <Add New> >

Wait for Request.

2.

Follow the onscreen prompts to enter your PIN and
press
