Bluetooth™ Wireless Technology; Naming Your Phone; Pairing With Another Bluetooth™ Device - Sony Xperia P User Manual

Bluetooth™ wireless technology
Use the Bluetooth™ function to send files to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices, or to
connect to handsfree accessories. Turn on the Bluetooth™ function in your phone and
create wireless connections to other Bluetooth™ compatible devices such as
computers, handsfree accessories, and phones. Bluetooth™ connections work better
within a 10 meter (33 foot) range, with no solid objects in between. In some cases you
have to manually pair your phone with other Bluetooth™ devices. Remember to set your
phone to "discoverable" if you want other Bluetooth™ devices to detect it.
Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth™ devices can vary.

Find and tap Settings > Wireless & networks.

3 Mark the Bluetooth checkbox.

for 120 seconds.

Pairing with another Bluetooth™ device
When you pair your phone with another device, you can, for example, connect your
phone to a Bluetooth™ headset or a Bluetooth™ car kit and use these devices to make
and receive calls.
Once you pair 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, refer to your Bluetooth™ device documentation for the device passcode. 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 both
pair and connect with the other device.
You can pair your phone with several Bluetooth™ devices, but you can only connect to
one Bluetooth™ profile at the same time.
