Bluetooth™ wireless technology

Use the Bluetooth™ function to send files to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices, or to connect to handsfree accessories. Turn on the Bluetooth™ function in your phone and create wireless connections to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices such as computers, handsfree accessories, and phones. Bluetooth™ connections work better within a 10 meter (33 foot) range, with no solid objects in between. In some cases you have to manually pair your phone with other Bluetooth™ devices. Remember to set your phone to "discoverable" if you want other Bluetooth™ devices to detect it.

Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth™ devices can vary.

Pairing with another Bluetooth™ device

When you pair your phone with another device, you can, for example, connect your phone to a Bluetooth™ headset or a Bluetooth™ car kit and use these devices to make and receive calls.

Once you have paired your phone with a Bluetooth™ device the phone will remember this pairing. When pairing the phone with a Bluetooth™ device, you may need to enter a passcode. Your phone will automatically try the generic passcode 0000. If this does not work, refer to your Bluetooth™ device documentation for the device passcode. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a paired Bluetooth™ device.

Some Bluetooth™ devices, for example, most Bluetooth™ headsets, require you to both pair and connect with the other device.

You can pair your phone with several Bluetooth™ devices, but you can only connect to one Bluetooth™ profile at the same time.
