Your Phone
If your phone supports Bluetooth, use a Bluetooth headset and connect your mobile phone or tablet to the
phone.
Bluetooth connections work best when you're within 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) from your phone, but you
might be able to be as far away as 66 feet (20 meters). The Bluetooth connection can degrade if you have a
barrier (wall, door, window), large metal object, or other electronic devices between your phone and the
connected device.
To connect a mobile device or headset to your phone with Bluetooth, start by pairing the device with your
phone. You can pair up to three devices. If you try to pair more than three devices, you are prompted to delete
one device.

headset or mobile device is turned on.
When you pair a device, you can set the Bluetooth mode to Phone, Handsfree or Both. Phone allows you to
use only a Bluetooth headset. Handsfree allows you to use only your mobile phone. Both allows you to use
both a headset and a mobile phone.
