After you pair the devices, you can connect the devices when the Bluetooth enabled device is within range of your BlackBerry
smartphone (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry smartphone within direct line
of sight of the Bluetooth enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry smartphone is on the right side of your body, wear a
Bluetooth enabled headset in your right ear.
When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to another Bluetooth enabled
device, Bluetooth status indicators appear at the top of the Home screen.
Turn on or turn off Bluetooth technology
If you try to perform an action using Bluetooth® technology, you may be prompted to turn on Bluetooth technology. In some
cases, such as when using NFC technology, your BlackBerry® smartphone will turn on Bluetooth technology automatically.
On the Home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.
• To turn on Bluetooth technology, select the Bluetooth checkbox.
• To turn off Bluetooth technology, clear the Bluetooth checkbox.
Pair with a Bluetooth enabled device
You must pair your BlackBerry® smartphone 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 connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.
2. Click Networks and Connections > Bluetooth Connections > Add New Device > Search.
3. Click a Bluetooth enabled device.
4. If necessary, do one of the following:
• If the Bluetooth enabled device does not have a keyboard (for example, a wireless headset), on your BlackBerry
smartphone, type the pairing passkey that either appears on the Bluetooth enabled device or is provided in the
documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled device. The passkey is most often a numeric or alphanumeric
code.
• If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your choice on both
devices.
