5.Select the Devices tab, and then select Add new device.

6.Wait for your Treo to search for devices and to display the device list.

7.Select the device you want to connect with, and then press Next (right softkey).

8.If you’re prompted to enter a passkey, enter the same passkey on your Treo and on the other Bluetooth device, and then press Next (right softkey).

Important

Some Bluetooth devices have a predefined passkey. If your Bluetooth device has a predefined passkey, your Treo attempts to enter the passkey for you. If the attempt is unsuccessful, you can find the predefined passkey in the documentation for your Bluetooth device.

Other Bluetooth 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 Treo and the Bluetooth 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 Treo. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.
