Motorola i880 manual Bluetooth Bonds, Discovering Bluetooth Devices, Bluetooth PINs

Bluetooth®

Discoverable mode lasts for the duration selected under Find Me Duration in the Bluetooth Setup menu. During this time, other devices that are within range can detect your phone. You can then choose to grant or deny each device’s request to bond.

Note: You must grant the device’s request in order to receive information from the device on your phone.

To start discoverable mode, from the main menu, select Bluetooth > Find Me.

Discovering Bluetooth® Devices

To have your phone search for Bluetooth devices:

From the main menu, select Bluetooth > Hands Free > [Find Devices].

A list of hands free devices displays. Devices that do not have a name are listed by their Bluetooth address.

To stop the search and go to the list of found devices, press A under Stop.

To stop the search and return to the previous screen, press A under Cancel.

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 i880 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 (also known as passkeys or pass codes) in order to establish encrypted transfers between them. When prompted, enter the Bluetooth PINs.
