Pairing with another Bluetooth™ device

When you pair your phone with another device, you can, for example, connect your phone to a Bluetooth™ handsfree or a Bluetooth car kit and use these devices to make and receive calls.

Once you have paired your phone with a Bluetooth device the phone will remember this pairing. When pairing the phone with a Bluetooth device, you may need to enter a passcode. Your phone will automatically try the generic passcode 0000. If this does not work, see the documentation of your Bluetooth device for the passcode used by your Bluetooth device. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a paired Bluetooth device.

Some Bluetooth devices, for example, most Bluetooth headsets, require you to also create a connection to the Bluetooth device in order for it to work properly.

You can pair your phone with several Bluetooth devices, but only connect to one Bluetooth profile at the same time. The following Bluetooth profiles are supported by the phone: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP, and OPP/FTP.
