Creating trusted pairs

After you set up a connection with your computer or other accessory devices with
Bluetooth wireless technology, you may want to set up other trusted devices, such as
a friend’s handheld. When your Treo recognizes a trusted device, it automatically
accepts communication, bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

1. Go to Applications

and select Bluetooth

.

2. Select Setup Devices.
3. Select Trusted Devices.
4. Select Add Device. The Discovery icon appears to indicate that the discovery

process is active.

5. Select the device you want to add as a trusted device. If the device you want to add

does not appear on the discovery results list, select Find More to search again.

6. Enter the same passkey on your phone and the other device and select OK.

IMPORTANT: Some devices with Bluetooth wireless technology have a built-in
passkey; others let you choose the passkey. In either case, you must use the same
passkey on both the other device and your phone. See the documentation for the
other device with Bluetooth wireless technology for additional information.

7. Select Done.

Sending information over a Bluetooth wireless connection

You can send an individual entry or a category. When you send a category, the items
within the category appear as unfiled items on the receiving device.
1. Open an application.
2. Select the entry or category you want to send.
3. Open the menus

.

4. Select Send on the leftmost menu.
5. Select Bluetooth, and then select OK.
6. Select the receiving device on the Discovery Results screen, and then select OK.

After you set up your
Bluetooth wireless
connections and trusted
pairs, you can check the
Allow only trusted devices
to connect box for added
security protection.

Be sure to close the
Bluetooth application when
you’re done setting up
devices and creating
trusted pairs.
