About Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth® technology is designed to enable you to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry® device and a Bluetooth enabled
device, such as a handsfree car kit or wireless stereo headset. After you pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth enabled device, you can
connect to that Bluetooth enabled device when the device is within range of your BlackBerry device (a typical range is approximately 10 metres).
When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry device to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth icons
appear in the device status section of the screen. For more information about Bluetooth icons, see the printed documentation that came with
your BlackBerry device.
Turn on Bluetooth technology
1. On the Home screen, click the Manage Connections icon.
2. Select the Bluetooth tick box.
To turn off Bluetooth®technology, clear the Bluetooth tick box.
Pair with a Bluetooth-enabled device
You must pair your BlackBerry® device with a Bluetooth® enabled device before you can connect to it. For more information about preparing
the Bluetooth enabled device for pairing, see the documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled device.
1. On the Home screen, click the Manage Connections icon.
2. Click Set Up Bluetooth.
3. Click Search.
4. Click a Bluetooth-enabled device.
5. If necessary, perform one of the following actions:
• If the Bluetooth enabled device does not have a keyboard (for example, a headset), on your BlackBerry device, type the pairing passkey
that is provided in the documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled device. The passkey is most often a numeric or alpha-
numeric code.
• If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your own choosing on both devices.
