Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit
You can listen to music over a Bluetooth stereo headset, or have hands-free
conversations using a compatible Bluetooth headset or car kit. It’s the same
procedure to set up stereo audio and hands-free.
§
For you to listen to music with your headset or car kit, the headset or car kit
must support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.
§
Before you connect your headset, you need to make it discoverable so your
phone can find it. You can find out how to do this by referring to your headset
manual.

The pairing and connection status is displayed below the hands-free headset or car kit
name in the Bluetooth devices section. When the Bluetooth headset or car kit is
connected to your phone, the Bluetooth connected icon
is displayed in the status
bar. Depending on the type of headset or car kit you have connected, you can then
start using the headset or car kit to listen to music and/or make and receive phone
calls.
Reconnecting a headset or car kit
Normally, you can easily reconnect your headset by switching on Bluetooth on your
