9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information over a distance of about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
On
. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
•
•
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.
•
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.
Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you
turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is
prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Mode tab.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices check boxes.
3. Tap OK. The Title bar will show to indicate that the device is in Visible mode.
To turn off Bluetooth visibility after a certain period of time
You can automatically turn off Bluetooth visibility after a specified period of time.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Timeout
tab.
2. In Turn off Visible mode, select the time before your device’s Bluetooth visibility turns off. Tap OK.
9.2 Bluetooth Partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled
device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab.
2. Tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth devices within range.
3. Tap the device name in the box, then tap Next.
4. Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.
5. Tap Next.
6. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same
passcode that you specified.
7. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.
8. Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device, then tap Finish.
Note Creating a Bluetooth partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the
devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again.
To accept a Bluetooth partnership
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
3. Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on the device requesting the partnership) to
establish a secure connection. The passcode must be between 1 and 16 characters.
4. Tap Next.
5. Tap Finish. You can now exchange information with the paired device.
Tips • To rename a Bluetooth partnership, tap and hold the partnership’s name on the Devices tab of the Bluetooth
screen, then tap Edit.
• To delete a Bluetooth partnership, tap and hold the partnership’s name on the Devices tab, then tap Delete.
9.3 Connecting a Bluetooth Hands-free or Stereo Headset
For hands-free phone conversations, you can use a Bluetooth hands-free headset such as a car kit with your
device. Your device also supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which allows you to use a
Bluetooth stereo headset for hands-free phone conversations and for listening to stereo music.
To connect a Bluetooth hands-free or stereo headset
1. Make sure that both your device and the Bluetooth headset are turned on and within close range,
and that the headset is visible. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to find out how to set the
headset in visible mode.
2. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab
> Add new device.
3. Tap the name of the Bluetooth headset, then tap Next. The device will automatically pair the device
with the Bluetooth headset.
Windows Mobile will automatically try one of the preconfigured passcodes (0000, 1111, 8888, 1234) to pair
the Bluetooth headset with the device. If this fails, you have to enter the passcode delivered with your headset
manually.
Note If the Bluetooth stereo headset becomes disconnected, turn the headset on and repeat step 1 to 2 above. Tap and
hold the name of the Bluetooth stereo headset and tap Set as Wireless Stereo.
Bluetooth 101
9.4 Beaming Information Using Bluetooth
You can beam information, such as contacts, calendar items, tasks, and files from your device to your
computer or to another Bluetooth-enabled device.
Note If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capability, you need to connect and use a Bluetooth adapter or

To beam information from your device to a computer
1. Turn on Bluetooth on your device, and make your device visible. For information about this, see “To
turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible”.
2. Set Bluetooth on your computer to visible mode, create a Bluetooth partnership, then enable your
