select Done to return to Trusted
Devices View.
NOTE For some car kits, you need to
initiate a Bluetooth connection from your
smartphone to complete the partnership
process. To do this, highlight the car kit in
Trusted Devices View, press Menu ,
and then select Connect.
8 (Optional) Enable advanced hands-free
features by pressing the multifunction
button (MFB) on the hands-free device.
You can tell the connection is successful
when you see a light blue headset icon in
the title bar of the Phone application. You
can now use your smartphone with the
Bluetooth hands-free device.
Using a Bluetooth hands-free device
After you create a partnership with your
Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it
on within range (up to 30 feet), the
smartphone automatically routes all calls to
the hands-free device instead of to the
earpiece on your smartphone. When a call
comes in, your smartphone rings and the
hands-free device beeps. Even if you
answer the call on your smartphone, the
call goes to the hands-free device. If you
prefer to route calls to the earpiece on your
smartphone, you can change the settings
on your smartphone to do this; see
Customizing advanced settings for your
hands-free device for details.
The features of your hands-free device vary
by model. Check the documentation for
your hands-free device for details about
these features. Your smartphone can
support the following actions, provided that
your hands-free device also supports them:
• Answer an incoming call
• Hang up a call and answer a call-waiting
call
• Place a call on hold and answer a
call-waiting call
• Hang up a single call
TIP
If you’re using a Bluetooth hands-free
device and you want to return to the earpiece
or a wired headset during a call, select Cancel
Bluetooth in Active Call View. To return the
call to the hands-free device, open the
Options menu and select Connect
Bluetooth.
