Connecting a Bluetooth Hands-free or Stereo Headset

For hands-free phone conversations, you can use a Bluetooth hands-free headset such as a car kit with your
device. Your device also supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which allows you to use a
Bluetooth stereo headset for hands-free phone conversations and for listening to stereo music.

To connect a Bluetooth hands-free or stereo headset:

1.

Make sure that both your device and the Bluetooth headset are turned on and within range, and that the
headset is visible. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to find out how to set the headset in visible
mode.

2.

Tap

Start > Settings > Communications

and then tap

Bluetooth

.

Note

Your device uses Bluetooth 2.1 with Secure Simple Pairing feature. If the other Bluetooth device you are pairing
with also supports the same feature, the passcode will be automatically created and displayed on both devices.
Both you and other party simply need to verify that the passcode is the same and tap Yes to establish the
partnership.
