Motorola i870 manual Bluetooth Bonds, Bluetooth PINs, Making a Bluetooth Connection

Bluetooth® Bonds

A bond is an encryption key that is generated when two Bluetooth devices exchange a common PIN. This key verifies the identity of each device, and encrypts any data transferred between the devices. Once the PIN is exchanged, the devices do not have to be in discoverable mode in order to exchange information. You only need to create a bond once between two devices.

If you search for devices and you select a device that you are currently bonded with from the list of found devices, then the current bond with that device will be voided. You will have to re-establish the bond.

Your i870 requires that you create a bond in order to connect with another device. However, you can choose to establish bonds with devices without connecting.

Note: Devices are automatically granted permission during the 10 seconds after bonding.

Bluetooth® PINs

Bluetooth devices exchange PINs in order to establish encrypted transfers between them. When prompted, enter the Bluetooth PINs.

Making a Bluetooth® Connection

Some Bluetooth devices ship with Bluetooth PINs. Please refer to your Bluetooth device’s user guide to locate this information.

If a device ships without a Bluetooth PIN, then you can enter any PIN for that device. To establish a connection to that device, enter the same PIN for both your phone and the device. For example, if you enter 1234 as the device’s PIN, then enter 1234 as your phone’s PIN.

To create a bond between your phone and another device:

1From the main menu, select Bluetooth.

2If you want to create a bond and connect with the given device, select Hands Free > [Find Devices]. -or-

If you want to create a bond to have it available for future use, select Link to Devices.

4Press A under Yes if you are prompted to do so.
