Connecting to a Bluetooth hands-free
device
Once you set up a partnership with a
Bluetooth hands-free device, you can
communicate with that device whenever it
is turned on and within range. Bluetooth
range is up to 30 feet in optimum
environmental conditions. Performance
and range may be reduced by physical
obstacles, radio interference from nearby
electronic equipment, and other factors.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Prepare your
hands-free device to accept a connection
from another Bluetooth device. See the
documentation that came with your
hands-free device for instructions.
1 Press Applications and select
Bluetooth or tap the Bluetooth
icon in the title bar.
2 Select Bluetooth On .
NOTE
The Bluetooth icon changes from
gray to blue to let you know that Bluetooth
technology is turned on.
3 (Optional) Enter a device name that
identifies your Treo 680 when it is
discovered by other Bluetooth devices.
NOTE
Use the same device name for all
your Bluetooth connections. If you change
the device name, you need to recreate any
partnerships you already created.
KEY TERM
Partnership Two devices—for
example, your Treo 680 and a hands-free
device—that can connect because each
device finds the same passkey on the other
device. Once you form a partnership with a
device, you don’t need to enter a passkey to
connect with that device again. Partnership is
also known as paired relationship, pairing,
trusted device, and trusted pair.
TIP
If you hear a headset buzz or experience
poor microphone performance, your headset
may be incompatible with your Treo 680.
