Use a Bluetooth connection

Before you can connect your phone to the PC via Bluetooth for the first time,
you must have provided a name for your phone to be used in a Bluetooth
connection. For instructions on giving a name to your phone, see the chapter
on connectivity in this user guide.

Make sure that Bluetooth is activated on

the phone to make your phone discoverable and connectable.

To activate Bluetooth connectivity, go to

To establish a Bluetooth connection:

Make sure that a Bluetooth card is inserted in the PC card or
CompactFlash (CF+) slot and that the software provided with the
Bluetooth card is installed on the PC, or check that your PC includes
built-in support for Bluetooth. A serial port profile must exist for the
Bluetooth card on the PC. For further information, see the user
documentation provided with the Bluetooth card or PC.

If you are connecting your phone to your PC using a Bluetooth
connection for the first time, you need to pair the devices. To pair the
devices, you need to enter a passcode in both devices. Create your
own passcode (1-16 characters long, numeric) and enter the same
passcode in both the phone and the PC when requested. This passcode
is used only once and you do not need to memorize it. For further
information, refer to the chapter on connectivity in this user guide.

5

Authorize the connection between your phone and your PC. Select
Yes when a connection request appears on the phone’s display. You
can set your PC as authorized, which means that the connection
between your phone and your PC is made without separate
authorization. To do this, go to the

Paired devices

view on your

phone, scroll to the device, and select

Options

→

Set as authorized

Since Bluetooth devices communicate using radio waves, your phone and
the other Bluetooth device do not need to be in line-of-sight. The two
devices only need to be within a maximum of about 30 feet (10 meters)
of each other, although the connection can be subject to interference
from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.

There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth devices. Check with your
local authorities.
