Secure Connections using a Passkey or Bond

To establish a secure connection with another device, you can use the

passkey feature or an established bond. You can also add data encryption

to this type of security.
A passkey is a code you enter to authenticate connections requested by

other devices. The passkey must be known and used by both parties or the

connection will not be allowed.

1.

From the Today screen, tap iPAQ Wireless > Bluetooth >

Settings > Services tab.

Tap the tab for the service you want to enable: File Transfer,

Information Exchange, Serial Port, Personal Network
