Pairing Bluetooth Devices

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

1.

While in standby mode, select

Main Menu > Tools >

Bluetooth

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

. You are

then notified that Pairing is in progress.

softkey). (

Waiting for Pairing
