Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

Use the Bluetooth® function to send files to other Bluetooth® compatible devices, or to

connect to hands-free accessories. Bluetooth® connections work better within 10

meters (33 feet), with no solid objects in between. In some cases you have to manually

pair your device with other Bluetooth® devices.

Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth® devices can vary.

If you are using a device with multiple users, each user can change the Bluetooth® settings,

and the changes affect all users.

Pairing with Another Bluetooth

®

Device

When you pair your device with another device, you can for example connect your
device to a Bluetooth

®

headset or a Bluetooth

®

car kit, and use these other devices to

share music.

Once you pair your device with another Bluetooth

®

device, your device remembers this

pairing. When pairing your device with a Bluetooth

®

device for the first time, you may

need to enter a passcode. Your device will automatically try the generic passcode 0000.
If this does not work, refer to the User guide for your Bluetooth

®

device to get the device

passcode. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a
previously paired Bluetooth

®

device.

Some Bluetooth

®

devices, for example, most Bluetooth

®

headsets, require you to both pair

and connect with the other device.

You can pair your device with several Bluetooth

®

devices, but you can only connect to one

Bluetooth

®

profile at the same time.
