3. The phone starts to search for devices within range. Devices using Bluetooth
technology that are within range start to appear on the display one by one. You

If you have searched for devices earlier, a list of the devices that were found
previously is shown first. To start a new search, select

is shown.
6. Pairing (if not required by the other device, go to step 7.)

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 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.
