Pair devices
Glossary: Pairing means authentication. The users of the 
two devices with Bluetooth technology should agree on 
a common passcode, 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.
In the 
Bluetooth
 main view, press 
 to open the paired 
devices view (
). 
Before pairing, create your own passcode (1—16 digits), 
and agree with the owner of the other device to use the 
same code. The passcode is used only once.
To pair with a device, select 
Options
 > 
New paired device
.  
Devices with Bluetooth technology that are within range 
start to appear on the display one by one. Select the 
device, and enter the passcode. The same passcode must 
be entered on the other device as well. After pairing, the 
device is saved to the paired devices view.
Paired devices are indicated by

paired device, scroll to the device, and select
