Connecting to a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device
Once you set up a partnership with a Bluetooth hands-free device such as a headset or car
kit, you can communicate with that device whenever it is turned on and within range.
Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet (10 meters) in optimum environmental conditions.
Performance and range may be reduced by physical obstacles, radio interference from
nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.
1. Press Applications and select Bluetooth , or tap the
Bluetooth icon in the title bar.
2. Select Bluetooth On.
3. (Optional) Enter a device name that identifies your device
when it is discovered by other Bluetooth devices.
4. Prepare your hands-free device to accept a connection from
another Bluetooth device. (For instructions, see the
documentation that came with your hands-free device.)
5. Select Setup Devices.
6. Select Hands-free Setup.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a partnership with
the specific hands-free device. When prompted, enter a
passkey.
Note:
In the documentation for the other device, a partnership might be
referred to by a term such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing.
Note:
Use the same device name for all your Bluetooth connections. If you
change the device name, you need to recreate any partnerships you
have already created.
