What is pairing? Pairing creates a secure communication channel between two devices enabled with Bluetooth technology. Pairing two devices, such as your handheld and your mobile phone, enhances security and saves time by enabling these two specific devices to automatically communicate with each other. The pairing process is also referred to as creating a trusted pair, or bonding. When you create a trusted pair, you enter an identical secret code on both devices. This secret code is a number that you make up and it is called a passkey. If a paired device with a recognized passkey attempts to communicate with your handheld, it bypasses the discovery and authentication process and automatically accepts the transmission. What do I need to pair my phone with my handheld? To pair your phone with your handheld you need to have the following items and services: s The name and model number of your phone that is enabled with Bluetooth technology A mobile phone carrier account with GPRS and data services A computer with Internet access s s 1 Chapter 1 Using the Phone Link Application to Pair Your Handheld with a Mobile Phone How do I pair my handheld with my phone?

Activating Bluetooth communication features on your handheld The first part of pairing your handheld with your phone is to use the Bluetooth Preferences screen to turn on Bluetooth communication, to assign a name to your handheld for Bluetooth communication, and to make your handheld discoverable by other devices enabled with Bluetooth technology.
