The blue led indicator should start blinking as well. Now verify that your bluetooth device is up and running:

13.2 Using a phone modem
To help get you started I have summarized the basic steps to hook up your bluetooth capable phone as a modem. I am using a Sony Ericsson P900 myself, but the steps are general so it should work for most bluetooth phones.
The steps below are exactly the same whether you intend to connect to a remote modem or connect over GPRS. When connecting over GPRS the phone also needs to be connected and recognized as a modem. It is the actual dialing later on in the process that differs.
With FC4 and FC5 I experienced some issues with the PINhelper, i.e. the dialog window that prompts for a PIN code. However, no such issues has been observed with Fedora 8.
