Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted
connections between your device and another Bluetooth
device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey,
allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the
discovery and authentication process.

continue to recognize their partnership and exchange
information without entering a passcode.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the
Visibility
field
(shown by the device name).
Your device must be visible to successfully pair with an
external device. This is shown by a green check mark.

Scan
. Your device displays a list of discovered in-
range Bluetooth devices.
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5. Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and tap
OK
.
6. The external device must accept the connection and
enter your device’s PIN code.
Once successfully paired to an external device,
displays in the Status area.
Note:
Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth-
compatible devices.
Important!
If callers can not hear you during a call while using
a paired Bluetooth headset (with built-in
microphone), verify the
Call audio
option is enabled
within the entry’s Bluetooth Settings page.
