9.3 Connecting a Bluetooth Hands-free or Stereo Headset
For hands-free phone conversations, you can use a Bluetooth hands-free headset such as a car kit with your
device. Your device also supports ADP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which allows you to use a
Bluetooth stereo headset for hands-free phone conversations and for listening to stereo music.
To connect a Bluetooth hands-free or stereo headset
1. Make sure that both your device and the Bluetooth headset are turned on and within close range,
and that the headset is visible. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to find out how to set the
headset in visible mode.
2. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab
> Add new device.
3. Tap the name of the Bluetooth headset, then tap Next. The device will automatically pair the device
with the Bluetooth headset.
Windows Mobile will automatically try one of the preconfigured passcodes (0000, 1111, 8888, 134) to pair
the Bluetooth headset with the device. If this fails, you have to enter the passcode delivered with your headset
manually.
Note If the Bluetooth stereo headset becomes disconnected, turn the headset on and repeat step 1 to above. Tap and
hold the name of the Bluetooth stereo headset and tap Set as Wireless Stereo.
9.4 Beaming Information Using Bluetooth
You can beam information, such as contacts, calendar items, tasks, and files from your device to your
computer or to another Bluetooth-enabled device.
Note If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capability, you need to connect and use a Bluetooth adapter or
dongle on your computer.
To beam information from your device to a computer
1. Turn on Bluetooth on your device, and make your device visible. For information about this, see “To
turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible”.
2. Set Bluetooth on your computer to visible mode, create a Bluetooth partnership, then enable your
computer to receive Bluetooth beams.
Note If the Bluetooth adapter or dongle on your computer was installed using a third-party provided driver,
open the Bluetooth software that came with the Bluetooth adapter/dongle and enable the adapter/
dongle to be discovered by other devices. Refer to the Bluetooth adapter’s documentation for more
information.
If your computer has Windows Vista or Windows XP SP2 and your computer’s Bluetooth adapter is
supported by your Windows version, do the following steps:
a. On your computer, open Bluetooth Devices from the Control Panel, then click the Options tab on
the Bluetooth Devices window.
b. For Windows Vista, select Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer. For Windows XP,
select Turn discovery on and Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer.
c. Create a Bluetooth partnership between your device and computer. For information about
creating a partnership, see “Bluetooth partnerships”.
d. In the Options tab of Bluetooth Devices, select Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification
area.
e. To enable your computer to receive Bluetooth beams, right-click the Bluetooth icon in the
notification area at the bottom-right corner of your computer screen and select Receive a File.
You are now ready to beam.
3. On your device, select an item to beam. The item can be an appointment in your calendar, a task, a
contact card, or a file.
4. To beam a contact, tap Menu > Send Contact > Beam. To beam other types of information, tap Menu
> Beam [type of item].
