7Highlight the device with which you want to connect and press Next (right softkey). If the device you want does not appear, select Refresh.

8Enter an alphanumeric passkey between 1 and 16 characters long and press Next (right softkey).

IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices have a predefined passkey. If your device has a predefined passkey, you can find it in the documentation for 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 the other 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.

9If the passkey is not built-in, enter the same passkey on the other Bluetooth device.

10Press Done (left softkey).

You can now communicate with this device whenever it is within range and

the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone is turned on. The range varies greatly depending on environmental factors. The maximum is about 10 meters (30 feet).

TIP To delete the established partnership with a device, go to the Bluetooth Settings screen and select the Devices tab. Highlight the connection you want to remove, press and hold Center on the 5-way, and then select Delete. Select Yes to confirm the deletion. The deleted device can no longer automatically connect with your smartphone.
