Creating trusted pairs
You can configure accessories with Bluetooth wireless technology to be trusted
devices of your Treo smartphone. When communicating with trusted devices, your
Treo smartphone can skip the discovery process to create a secure link.
For example, when you configured a headset as described in “Connecting to a
headset or car kit with Bluetooth wireless technology” on page 59, a trusted pair was
created automatically. You can also create trusted pairs with other devices, such as a
friend’s handheld.
1. Go to Applications
and select Bluetooth
.
2. Select Setup Devices.
3. Select Trusted Devices.
4. Select Add Device. The Discovery icon appears to indicate that the discovery
process is active.
5. If the device you want to add does not appear on the discovery results list, check to
make sure that it is discoverable. Check the documentation for the device to learn
how to make it discoverable. Once the other device is discoverable, select Find
More on your smartphone to search again.
6. Enter the same passkey on your phone and the other device and select OK.
IMPORTANT:
Some devices with Bluetooth wireless technology have a built-in
passkey; others let you select the passkey. In either case, you must use the same
passkey on both the other device and your phone. See the documentation for the
other device with Bluetooth wireless technology for additional information.
7. Select Done.
