Pair devices

Open the paired devices tab.
Before pairing, create your own passcode (1-16 digits),

and agree with the user of the other device to use the same

code. Devices that do not have a user interface have a fixed

passcode. You need the passcode only when you connect

the devices for the first time. After pairing, it is possible to

authorise the connection. Pairing and authorising the

connection makes connecting quicker and easier, as you

do not have to accept the connection between paired

devices every time you establish a connection.
The passcode for remote SIM access must have 16 digits.

To allow a paired device to connect automatically to your

device, select

Set as authorised

. Connections between

your device and the other device can be made without

your knowledge. No separate acceptance or authorisation

is needed. Use this status for your own devices, such as

your compatible headset or computer, or devices that

belong to someone you trust. If you want to accept

connection requests from the other device separately

every time, select

Set as unauthorised

.

To use a Bluetooth audio enhancement such as a

Bluetooth handsfree or headset, you need to pair your

device with the enhancement. See the enhancement user

guide for the passcode and further instructions. To

connect to the audio enhancement, switch on the

enhancement. Some audio enhancements connect

automatically to your device. Otherwise open the paired

devices tab, scroll to the enhancement, and select
