Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio waves to enable
wireless connections between your P800 and other Bluetooth-
enabled devices. This method of linking works well at a range of
up to 10 metres. Obstructions between the transmitting devices
will have an effect on the performance. Read more about
connecting to other devices using bluetooth wireless technology
in“Connection via Bluetooth wireless technology” on page 137.
Bluetooth settings are shown on two tabs:
Tip You will probably find that the preset name of your P800,
and of devices you pair it with, are not very meaningful or easily
recognizable. It is a good idea to change these names to
something more useful. The name you choose for your P800
appears on any devices you pair it with.
To locate other Bluetooth-enabled devices in the vicinity
• Select Add . The Available Bluetooth devices dialogue opens:
– All enabled devices that are discoverable within range are
shown with their name and icon. You can use Show: to
restrict the list to one category (only PC, for example).
– Paired devices that are within range are shown with
regular text.
– Non-paired devices that are within range are shown with
their names in italics.
– Devices that are within range but unknown are shown
with a preset name.
If a device you want to pair with your P800 does not appear in
the list, check that:
• It is on and within range.
• Bluetooth function on the device has been activated and that
it is in discoverable mode.
To pair a device with your P800
1. Select the device in the Available Bluetooth devices list.
2. If the device requires a passkey, you will be asked to enter it.
3. Select Done.
Note The other device (a PC, for example) may require that you
enter the same passkey in its own dialogue.
