Before creating a Bluetooth cell phone key, make sure your motherboard
has a Bluetooth receiver and you have turned on the search and Bluetooth
functions on your phone.

cell phone key, how many times to rescan the key to make sure it is in range of your

settings to take effect and then click Exit to quit.
