Getting Connected; Bluetooth™ Technology - Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 Extended User Manual

Getting connected

Bluetooth™ technology
The Bluetooth™ function creates a wireless connection to other Bluetooth™ devices, for
example, handsfree devices. A range within 10 metres (33 feet), with no solid objects in
between, is recommended.
Bluetooth™ modes
The Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone can be set in different modes:
•
On – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth™
enabled devices.
• Off – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned off. You can neither send nor receive information
over a Bluetooth™ link. Turn off Bluetooth™ functionality when not in use to conserve
battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as onboard
an aircraft or in hospitals.
•
Visible – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on, and other Bluetooth™ enabled devices can
detect your phone.
By default, Bluetooth™ functionality is turned off. To have it turned on by default, you need to
activate Bluetooth™ functionality, then turn off your phone. The next time you turn on your
phone, Bluetooth™ functionality will be on.
To turn on Bluetooth™ functionality and make your phone visible
1 Tap > Settings > Bluetooth™.
2 On the Mode tab, mark Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other
devices check boxes.
3
Tap OK.
Bluetooth™ partnership
A Bluetooth™ partnership is a relationship you create between your phone and another
Bluetooth™ enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.
To create a Bluetooth™ partnership
1
Tap > Settings > Bluetooth.
2
On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your phone searches for other
Bluetooth™ enabled devices and displays them in the box.
3 Tap the desired device in the list, then tap Next.
4 Specify a passcode (1 to 16 characters) to establish a secure connection, then tap
Next.
5
Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. When the receiving party has
entered the same passcode that you specified, the name of the paired device is
displayed in your phone.
Once you have entered a passcode, there is no need to re-enter it again. Creating a Bluetooth™
partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the
devices recognize each other automatically when they are close enough and have the
Bluetooth™ function on.
To accept a Bluetooth™ partnership
1 Check that Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on and your phone is in visible mode.
2 Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
3
Enter the same passcode that was entered on the device requesting the partnership,
then tap Next.
4 When you are notified that the partnership has been established, tap Done. You can
now exchange information with the paired device in a secure manner.
