Pairing Bluetooth Devices

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your device and another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

Important

The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP.

To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:

Important

Make sure that the Bluetooth device that you want to pair with is set to visible (or “discoverable”) mode. Consult the Bluetooth device’s documentation to learn how to set it to visible (or “discoverable”) mode.

1.Press > , and then tap Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.

2.Select the Bluetooth check box and tap Scanfordevices. Your device will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range and will display all detected devices below the Bluetooth devices section.

3.Tap the Bluetooth device in the list to start pairing. (For example, a stereo Bluetooth headset.)

Note

If your device does not detect the target device, make sure the other device has Bluetooth turned on and is within range, and repeat step 3.

4.The pairing and connection status will appear below the Bluetooth device name in the Bluetooth devices

list. When the other Bluetooth device is connected to your device, the Bluetooth connected icon ( ) will appear in the status bar. You can now start using the Bluetooth device.

Tip

You may be required to enter a passcode for some Bluetooth devices. In those instances, try using “0000” as the passcode. If that does not work, refer to the other device’s documentation.

Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once pairing is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again.

If you pair with a second headset while connected to a first, the first headset will be disconnected. To switch connection back to the first headset, you must manually select that headset again in the Bluetooth devices list.

Disconnecting a Bluetooth Device

1.Press > and tap Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.

2.Navigate to the Bluetooth devices section, and then press and hold the connected Bluetooth device.

3.Tap Disconnect.

– or –

Tap Disconnect & unpair if you want the device to erase all pairing information with the hands-free headset or car kit. You will be prompted to enter the passcode again when you connect to that Bluetooth device.
