that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your smartphone and your hands-free device. We recommend that where possible, you make up a passkey of 16 alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals only) to improve the security of your smartphone. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.

7After you finish setting up the device, select Done to return to Trusted Devices View.

NOTE For some car kits, you need to initiate a Bluetooth connection from your smartphone to complete the partnership process. To do this, highlight the car kit in Trusted Devices View, press Menu , and then select Connect.

8(Optional) Enable advanced hands-free features by pressing the multifunction button (MFB) on the hands-free device.

You can tell the connection is successful when you see a light blue headset icon in the title bar of the Phone application. You can now use your smartphone with the Bluetooth hands-free device.

Using a Bluetooth hands-free device

After you create a partnership with your Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it on within range (up to 30 feet/10 meters), your smartphone automatically routes all calls to the hands-free device instead of to the earpiece on your smartphone. When a call comes in, your smartphone rings and the hands-free device beeps. Even if you answer the call on your smartphone, the call goes to the hands-free device. If you prefer to route calls to the earpiece on your smartphone, you can change the settings on your smartphone to do this; see Customizing advanced settings for your hands-free device.

TIP If you’re using a Bluetooth hands-free device and you want to return to the earpiece during a call, select Cancel Bluetooth in Active Call View. To return the call to the hands-free device, open the Options menu and select Connect Bluetooth.
