Bluetooth - Toshiba G500 User Manual

Connectivity

Bluetooth

Bluetooth has three modes: Off, On and Visible.
When Bluetooth is set to On, your Toshiba phone
will be connected to the devices it is already paired
with, but will not be visible to new devices. In Visible
mode your Toshiba phone will perform in the On
state, but it will also be visible to new devices within
range, and you will also be able to receive data from
other devices.
Turning Bluetooth on and off
By default Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on,
and then turn your Toshiba phone off, Bluetooth will
also be turned off. But when you turn on your phone
again, Bluetooth will turn on automatically.
To turn Bluetooth on/off:
1. From the Home screen, select Start > Settings
> Connections > Bluetooth.
2. Check the Turn on Bluetooth box to activate
Bluetooth. Uncheck to deactivate.
3. Check the Make this device visible to other
devices box if you want your phone to be visible
to other devices within range.

Creating a Bluetooth partnership
Before creating a Bluetooth partnership:
• Ensure that your Toshiba phone and the device
you are connecting to are within close range.
• Your Toshiba phone has Bluetooth turned On
and that the device you are connecting to is in
Visible mode.
To create a bluetooth partnership:
1. From the Home screen, select Start > Settings
> Connections > Bluetooth > Menu >
Devices > Menu > Add new device. Your
Toshiba phone searches for other Bluetooth-
enabled devices and displays them in the list.
2. Select the device and select Next.
3. In Passcode, if you want to use a passcode
(recommended for enhanced security), enter an
alphanumeric passcode, between 1 and 16
characters in length, and select Next.
Alternatively, leave the passcode blank, and
select Next.
4. Enter the same passcode on the partnering
device and respond to any prompts.
