Pair devices
Glossary: Pairing means authentication. The users of the
two devices with Bluetooth technology should agree
on a common passcode, and use the same passcode for
both devices in order to pair them. Devices that do not
have a user interface have a factory-set passcode.
In the
Bluetooth
main view, press
to open the paired
devices view (
).
Before pairing, create your own passcode (1—16 digits),
and agree with the owner of the other device to use the
same code. The passcode is used only once.
To pair with a device, select
Options
>
New paired device
.
Devices with wireless Bluetooth technology that are within
range start to appear on the display one by one. Select the
device, and enter the passcode. The same passcode must be
entered on the other device as well. After pairing, the
device is saved to the paired devices view.
Paired devices are indicated by
