Follow the on-screen instructions to register your device.

Note

Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, it may take some time for your VAIO computer to find
the device.
If your device does not appear in the list, repeat the procedure to ready the device for
connection (for example, pressing the button for connection).
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the procedure to establish connection may vary. Refer
to the manual that came with the device for the procedure.

Hint

If your VAIO computer is compliant with BLUETOOTH high speed technology and you intend
to use it for high-speed communications, change the Wi-Fi setting under Wireless devices
to On in step 4.
A window appears for passcode input if a BLUETOOTH device is requesting authentication to
establish connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to share the passcode between the
BLUETOOTH device and your VAIO computer. If you do not wish to connect, select the
Cancel button in the window.

A passcode is a secret number that is entered by a user to use for the authentication process to allow
two BLUETOOTH devices to communicate with each other. Enter the same alphanumeric string (case-
sensitive) for both devices to allow them to communicate with each other. You can change the passcode
every time you perform authentication, providing you enter the same passcode for both devices during
the authentication process. For details on the passcode of a BLUETOOTH device, refer to the manual
that came with the device. If no BLUETOOTH passcode is entered for a certain time, the connection
process will be terminated for security. In this case, try again.

For details on the operations, open Windows Help and Support (

and Support

), and enter "BLUETOOTH" in the search box.

About BLUETOOTH(R) Security

The BLUETOOTH wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to control
communication with other devices.
The authentication function helps you prevent unwanted anonymous BLUETOOTH devices from
accessing your VAIO computer. The first time two BLUETOOTH devices communicate, a
common passcode (a password required for authentication) should be identified to register both
devices. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passcode.
For details, open Windows Help and Support (

Opening Windows Help and Support

enter "BLUETOOTH" in the search box.
