-Add additional devices, if desired, (up to eight total, including the host)

After all the desired devices have been added, tap OK to complete the setup and close the wizard. Adding devices is optional; devices do not have to be added to the personal area network when the Host is configured. Devices can join the personal area network later.

To join a Personal Area Network:

1.Select Bluetooth Manager > New > Connect > Join a personal network > Next.

2.On the next wizard screen select Join a personal network > Next.

When Bluetooth Browser appears, select the host of the personal area network, and then tap Next to establish a connection to the personal area network. If asked to enter IP network settings, select Use server-assigned IP address, and then tap OK.

The network host’s authorization and authentication settings, and/or its Personal Area Network service availability may prevent you from joining the network. Any application that requires a network connection can use the Personal Area Network connection.

nIf the connection is open—double-tap its icon to display the connection’s status.

Connections can also be opened/closed, and other options accessed, using the tap-and-hold technique. If you tap a connection icon and hold the stylus in place for a few seconds, a context sensitive menu appears.
