Pair devices

Open the paired devices tab.
Before pairing, decide on your own passcode (1-16 digits),

and agree with the user of the other device to use the same

code. Devices that do not have a user interface have a fixed

passcode. You need the passcode only when you connect the

devices for the first time. After pairing, it is possible to

authorise the connection. Pairing and authorising the

connection makes connecting quicker and easier, as you do

not have to accept the connection between paired devices

every time you establish a connection.
The passcode for remote SIM access must have 16 digits.

2. Select the device with which you want to pair, and enter

the passcode. The same passcode must be entered to the

other device as well.

device and cancel the pairing with that device, pairing is

removed immediately, and the connection is ended.
To allow a paired device to connect automatically to your

device, select

Set as authorised

. Connections between your

device and the other device can be made without your

knowledge. No separate acceptance or authorisation is

needed. Use this status for your own devices, such as your

compatible headset or computer, or devices that belong to

someone you trust. If you want to accept connection requests

from the other device separately every time, select

Set as

unauthorised

.

To use a Bluetooth audio enhancement such as a Bluetooth

handsfree or headset, you need to pair your device with the

enhancement. See the enhancement user guide for the

passcode and further instructions. To connect to the audio

enhancement, switch on the enhancement. Some audio

enhancements connect automatically to your device.

Otherwise open the paired devices tab, scroll to the

enhancement, and select
