Bluetooth™ technology

Bluetooth™ technology enables wireless communication over
short distances. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information over a distance of about eight meters
without requiring a physical connection.

Bluetooth™ modes

Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone operates in three
different modes:

•

On – Bluetooth functionality is turned on. Your phone can

detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but they cannot
detect your phone.

•

Off – Bluetooth functionality is turned off. You can neither

send nor receive information over a Bluetooth link. Turn off
Bluetooth functionality when not in use to conserve battery
power, or in places where using a wireless device is
prohibited, such as on board an aircraft or in hospitals.

•

Visible – Bluetooth functionality is turned on, and other

Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your phone.

By default, Bluetooth functionality is turned off. To have it turned
on by default, turn it on, then immediately turn off your phone.
When you next time turn on your phone, Bluetooth functionality
is on.

To turn on Bluetooth™ functionality and make your phone
visible

1

Tap > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth™ >

Mode tab.

2

Mark the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to

other devices check boxes.

3

Tap ok.

Bluetooth™ partnership

A Bluetooth™ partnership is a relationship you create between
your phone and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to
exchange information in a secure manner.

To create a Bluetooth™ partnership

1

Tap > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth™.

2

On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your phone will
then search for other Bluetooth devices and display them in
the box.

3

Tap the desired device name.

4

Tap Next.

5

Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The
passcode can be 1 to 16 characters.

6

Tap Next.

7

Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The
receiving party needs to enter the same passcode that you
specified.

8

The name of the paired device is displayed. You may edit and
enter a new name for it.

9

Mark the check boxes for the services you want to use from
the paired device.

10

Tap Finish.

Creating a Bluetooth partnership between two devices is a one­time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices will
recognize each other automatically when they are close enough
and have the Bluetooth function on. There is thus no need to enter
the passcode again.

To accept a Bluetooth™ partnership

1

Ensure that Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on and that
your phone is 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 to 16
characters.

Tap Next.

Connecting a Bluetooth™ handsfree or stereo headset

For handsfree phone conversation, you can use a Bluetooth™
handsfree headset such as a car kit with your phone. Your phone
also supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which
means you can use a Bluetooth stereo headset for handsfree
phone conversations and for listening to stereo music.

To connect a Bluetooth™ handsfree or stereo headset

1

Make sure that both your phone 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

Tap > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

3

On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your phone will
then search for other Bluetooth devices and display them in
the box.

4

Tap the name of the Bluetooth headset, then tap Next and
your phone will automatically pair with the Bluetooth headset.

5

Make sure the Hands Free check box is marked. If your
headset is a stereo headset, also make sure Wireless

Stereo is marked.

6

Tap Finish. While the Bluetooth stereo headset is connected,
the headset icon will appear on the title bar.

If a Bluetooth stereo headset is disconnected, turn on the headset
and repeat steps 1 to 3 above. Tap and hold the name of the
Bluetooth stereo headset and tap Set as Wireless Stereo.

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 manually enter the
passcode delivered with your headset.

Beaming information using a Bluetooth™ connection

You can beam information, such as contacts, calendar items,
and tasks, as well as files from your phone to your computer or
to another Bluetooth™-enabled device.

If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capability, you
need to connect a Bluetooth adapter or dongle to your computer.

To receive all incoming beams in your phone

1

Tap > Settings > Connections tab > Beam.

2

Make sure the Receive all incoming beams check box is
marked.

To beam information to a computer

1

Turn on Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone, and make the
phone visible. For more information, see To turn on
Bluetooth™ functionality and make your phone visible.

2

Create a Bluetooth partnership, then enable your computer
to receive Bluetooth beams. If your computer has Windows

Vista or Windows XP SP2 and your computer’s Bluetooth

adapter is supported by your Windows version, do the
following:

1

In your computer, open Bluetooth Devices from the
Control Panel, then click the Options tab.

beam other types of information, tap Menu > Beam [type of

item].

5

Tap the name of the device to which you want to beam.

The default folder on your computer where beamed items are
stored may be C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\My
Documents in Windows XP or C:\Users\your_username\My
Documents in Windows Vista.

Using your phone as a Bluetooth™ modem

Through a Bluetooth™ connection you can connect your phone
to a notebook or desktop computer and use the phone as a
modem for the computer.

If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capability, you
need to connect a Bluetooth adapter or dongle to your computer.
