Pairing to Bluetooth Phone

Pairing Procedure

Pairing is a Bluetooth function that enables Bluetooth devices to remain permanently linked to each other. By pairing devices, you only need to authenticate and authorize communication between your devices once. During the pairing procedure, a PIN code is required for secure authentication. Thereafter, communication between your two Bluetooth devices is done automatically without requiring authentication or confirmation.

For the procedure below, you will need to know how to use your cell phone’s Bluetooth feature for discovering, connecting, and pairing to other Bluetooth devices. If you’re not sure how to do this, please consult your cell phone user manual.
