CHAPTER
Te m po r a r y: Enables Bluetooth devices
that are not on your Trusted Devices list
to request a connection with your
smartphone during the next two
minutes. Your smartphone reverts to
the Hidden setting and becomes
inaccessible to other devices after two
minutes.
Hidden: Allows only devices with which
you have previously formed a partnership
to request a connection with your
smartphone. New devices cannot request
a connection.
5 Enter the same passkey on your
smartphone and on the Bluetooth
device.
IMPORTANT Some Bluetooth devices,
such as headsets and GPS receivers, 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 Treo 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 Treo. The longer the passkey, the
more difficult it is for the passkey to be
deciphered.
6 (Optional) Check the Add to trusted
device list box if you want to form a
partnership with the requesting device.
7 Select OK.
TIP
Use the Visible option only when you need
your smartphone to be accessible for an
extended period of time. For short term
accessibility, use the Temporary option.
