Turning Bluetooth

®

on and off

When Bluetooth

®

is on, the Bluetooth

®

icon (w) is displayed at the top of the main

display. If you leave Bluetooth

®

on you can make and answer calls using your

Bluetooth

®

headset or car kit, send e-mails and browse websites without pressing any

keys on your phone.



Select On/Off.



Select On or Off.

If Bluetooth

®

is active and you choose to turn it off, you are prompted to confirm the

disconnection.

Discovering and Pairing devices

To use your Bluetooth

®

headset or car kit with your phone to make voice calls or to use

your Bluetooth

®

enabled laptop to connect to the Internet you must Pair them with your

phone. You only need to do this once for each device, thereafter your phone remembers
these devices and stores them in its Paired Devices list. Your phone can be Paired with
up to ten devices.



Select Discover & Pair.
This lists all Discoverable Bluetooth

®

devices within about 10 metres.



When the device appears in the list, select Stop.



Highlight the device in the list.



Select Pair.



Enter the Bluetooth

®

Passkey.

If the device you want to Pair with is not listed then check that it is Discoverable. Some
Bluetooth

®

devices are not Discoverable even if they are within 10 metres range. Most

Bluetooth

®

headsets and car kits must be put into Discoverable mode. This is a security

feature to prevent other Bluetooth

®

devices from Pairing with your headset or car kit.

The Pairing fails if you enter the wrong Passkey. Most Bluetooth

®

headsets and car kits

use a fixed 4 digit Passkey, e.g. the Passkey for the Panasonic EB-BHX70 Headset is
0000. For other devices such as a PC, laptop or another mobile phone that don’t use a
fixed Passkey enter the same Passkey on both devices. This can be anything from 1 to 16
digits long.

Note: Leaving Bluetooth

®

on reduces the phone’s standby time by about 20%.

Note: You can send and receive pictures, sounds, themes, contact details and other data

when Bluetooth

®

is off. Your phone automatically switches Bluetooth

®

on while

the transfer is taking place, then switches it off when the transfer is complete.
