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 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 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.
6 (Optional) Check the Add to trusted
device list box if you want to form a
partnership with the requesting device.
