Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your phone and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.On the Home screen, click Start > Comm Manager > Settings > Bluetooth.

2.Click Bluetooth > Add new device. Your phone searches for other Bluetooth-enabled devices and lists them.

3.Select the desired device name in the list and click Next.

4.Enter a passcode (1 up to 16 characters) to establish a secure connection, then click Next.

5.Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same passcode that you specified.

6.After the receiving party enters the passcode, a message box appears on your phone confirming the partnership.

Note Click Advanced to change the paired device name and to set the services you want to use for the paired device.
