7 Highlight the device with which you
want to connect and press Next (right
softkey). If the device you want does
not appear, select Refresh.
8 Enter an alphanumeric passkey
between 1 and 16 characters long and
press Next (right softkey).
IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices
have a predefined passkey. If your device
has a predefined passkey, you can find it 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 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.
9 If the passkey is not built-in, enter the
same passkey on the other Bluetooth
device.
10 Press Done (left softkey).
You can now communicate with this
device whenever it is within range and
the Bluetooth feature on your
smartphone is turned on. The range
varies greatly depending on
environmental factors. The maximum is
about 10 meters (30 feet).
