Pair devices
Glossary: Pairing means authentication. The users of
the two devices with Bluetooth wireless 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
>

Devices with Bluetooth wireless 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.
