Tip
To prevent unwanted devices from connecting to your Treo, leave the
Make
the device visible to other devices box unchecked except when you’re
connecting with a computer or receiving information from another device.
Important
Some Bluetooth devices have a predefined passkey. If your Bluetooth
device has a predefined passkey, your Treo attempts to enter the passkey
for you. If the attempt is unsuccessful, you can find the predefined passkey
in the documentation for your Bluetooth device.
Other Bluetooth devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that
you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your
Treo and the Bluetooth device. We recommend that where possible, you
make up a passkey of 16 alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals
only) to improve the security of your Treo. The longer the passkey, the more
difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.
