• 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 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.

6. When the connection has been successfully established, the note

Sending data

is shown.

Data received via Bluetooth can be found in the Inbox folder in Messaging.

See

‘Inbox - receiving messages’, p. 82.

Note: Pairing means authentication. The users of the devices using

Bluetooth technology 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 preset passcode.
