Tip! When
searching for devices,
some Bluetooth devices
may show only the unique
Bluetooth addresses
(device addresses). To find
the unique Bluetooth
address of your phone,
enter the code *#2820#
in the standby mode.
The phone starts to search for devices within range. Bluetooth enabled devices that are
within range start to appear on the display one by one. You can see a device icon, the
Bluetooth name of the device, the device type, or a short name.
Tip! If you have searched for Bluetooth devices earlier, a list of the devices that
were found previously is shown first. To start a new search, select
More devices
.
If you switch off the phone, the list is cleared.
• To interrupt the search, press
Stop
. The device list freezes and you can start to form
a connection to one of the devices already found.
3 Scroll to the device with which you want to connect, and press
Select
.
4 Pairing (if required by the other device)
Glossary: Pairing means authentication. The users of the Bluetooth enabled devices
should agree what the passcode is and use the same passcode for both devices in order
to pair them. Devices that do not have a user interface have a factory-set passcode.
• If the other device requires pairing before data can be transmitted, a tone sounds and
you are asked to enter a passcode.
• Create your own passcode (1-16 characters long, numeric) and agree with the owner
of the other Bluetooth device to use the same code. The passcode is used only once.
