Bluetooth Wireless Technology - Sony Xperia XA2 Plus User Manual

Bluetooth wireless technology

Use the Bluetooth function to send files to other Bluetooth compatible devices, or
to connect to handsfree accessories. Bluetooth connections work better within 10
metres (33 feet), with no solid objects in between. In some cases you have to
manually pair your device with other Bluetooth devices.
Note
Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth devices can vary.
Hint
If you are using a device with multiple users, each user can change the Bluetooth settings,
and the changes affect all users.
To turn the Bluetooth function on or off
1 Find and tap Settings > Device connection > Bluetooth.
2 Tap the Bluetooth switch to enable or disable the function.
Hint
You can also turn Bluetooth on or off from the Quick settings panel.
Naming your device
You can give your device a name. This name is shown to other devices after you
have turned on the Bluetooth function and your device is set to visible.
To give your device a name
1 Make sure that the Bluetooth function is turned on.
2 Find and tap Settings > Device connection > Bluetooth.
3 Tap (Menu icon) > Rename this device.
4 Enter a name for your device.
5 Tap RENAME.
Pairing with another Bluetooth device
When you pair your device with another device, you can, for example, connect
your device to a Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth car kit, and use these other
devices to share music.
Once you pair your device with another Bluetooth device, your device remembers
this pairing. When pairing your device with a Bluetooth device for the first time,
you may need to enter a passcode. Your device will automatically try the generic
passcode 0000. If this does not work, refer to the user guide for your Bluetooth
device to get the device passcode. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the
next time you connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device.
Note
Some Bluetooth devices, for example, most Bluetooth headsets, require you to both pair
and connect with the other device.
Hint
You can pair your device with several Bluetooth devices, but you can only connect to one
Bluetooth profile at the same time.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device
1 Make sure that the device you want to pair with has the Bluetooth function
activated and is visible to other Bluetooth devices.
2 Find and tap Settings > Device connection > Bluetooth.
