Getting Your Device Connected and Synchronized

Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth technology enables wireless connections to send
images, video clips, music and sound clips, and notes, or to
connect wirelessly to compatible devices with Bluetooth
technology such as computers. Since devices with Bluetooth
technology communicate using radio waves, your device and the
other device do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. The two
devices only need to be within a maximum of 10 metres of each
other, although the connection can be subject to interference
from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some
locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.
Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allow such features to
run in the background while using other features, increase the
demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
In order to avoid malicious software, it is recommended that you
turn on Bluetooth connectivity only when you want to use it, or
alternatively, make your device invisible to other devices.
Establishing Bluetooth Connection
Refer to the steps below for how to connect your device to a PC
via Bluetooth connection.
1. Tap the icon in the Main screen and then select
Bluetooth on the tab.
2. Check the Bluetooth on check box to become connectable to
other compatible devices, and then select Yes or For 10
minutes in Visible for other devices.
3. Set up Receiving items as Always receive or Ask first.
4. If necessary, you can also enter a new name for your device
in the Name of my device box.
5. Make sure the Bluetooth connection of the device you want
to connect is activated.
6. Tap the Devices tab and then Add. Your device searches for
all devices in the vicinity.
7. Tap to select the compatible device you want your device to
pair with and, if necessary, enter a passkey. When the
passkey is accepted, the pairing process is complete.
Important: Do not accept Bluetooth connectivity from
sources you do not trust.
Note: The Bluetooth PIN code is a set of code for
pairing and identifying Bluetooth devices. You can use any
combination of numbers or letters for the code. However, the
code entered on your device and another device with
Bluetooth connectivity must be identical.
• If you are using a device with a fixed Bluetooth pin code,
please check the documentation that comes with that device
for the Bluetooth PIN code.
