CHAPTER 1
Using the Phone Link Application to Pair Your
Handheld with a Mobile Phone
The fastest and easiest way to create a link or connection between your handheld
and your mobile phone that is enabled with Bluetooth™ technology is to use the
Phone Link application on your handheld.
What is pairing?
Pairing creates a secure communication channel between two devices enabled
with Bluetooth technology. Pairing two devices, such as your handheld and your
mobile phone, enhances security and saves time by enabling these two specific
devices to automatically communicate with each other. The pairing process is also
referred to as creating a trusted pair, or bonding.
When you create a trusted pair, you enter an identical secret code on both devices.
This secret code is a number that you make up and it is called a passkey. If a paired
device with a recognized passkey attempts to communicate with your handheld,
it bypasses the discovery and authentication process and automatically accepts the
transmission.
What do I need to pair my phone with my handheld?
To pair your phone with your handheld you need to have the following items and
services:
■ The name and model number of your phone that is enabled with Bluetooth
technology
■ A mobile phone carrier account with GPRS and data services
■ A computer with Internet access
