Connectivity

• 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. This 
passcode is used only once and you do not have to 
memorise it.
• After pairing, the device is saved to the Paired 
devices view.
 Glossary: Pairing means authentication. The 
users of the Bluetooth enabled devices should 
agree together 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.
6 When the connection has been successfully 
established, the note Sending data is shown.
Note: Data received via Bluetooth can be found in 
the Inbox folder in Messaging. See p. 76 for further 
information.
Note: If sending fails, the message or data will be 
deleted. The Drafts folder in Messaging does not store 
messages sent via Bluetooth.
