CHAPTER
3 (Optional) Enter a device name that
identifies your smartphone when it is
discovered by other Bluetooth devices.
NOTE Use the same device name for all
your Bluetooth connections. If you change
the device name, you need to recreate any
partnerships you already created.
4 Select Setup Devices.
5 Select Trusted Devices.
6 Select Add Device. The discovery icon
appears, indicating that the discovery
process is active.
7 Select the Show pick list and select
Nearby devices.
8 If the device you want to add doesn’t
appear on the discovery results list,
make sure that the other device is ready
to receive a connection request (see the
device’s documentation), and then
select Find More on your smartphone
to search again.
9 Enter the same passkey on your
smartphone and on the Bluetooth
device, and select OK.
IMPORTANT Some Bluetooth devices
have a preset passkey; if so, you can find
the passkey in the documentation for that
device. Other 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 smartphone and the
other 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 smartphone. The longer
the passkey, the more difficult it is for the
passkey to be deciphered.
10 Select Done.
