6 Follow the onscreen instructions to
create a partnership with the specific
hands-free device. When prompted,
enter a passkey.
IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices
have a predefined passkey; if your device
has a predefined passkey, you can find it in

your smartphone. The longer the passkey,
the more difficult it is for the passkey to be
deciphered.

features by pressing the

button (MFB) on the hands-free device.

on within range (up to 30 feet/10 meters),
your smartphone automatically routes all
calls to the hands-free device instead of to
the earpiece on your smartphone. When a
call comes in, your smartphone rings and
