your P908 can stay in your pocket while communicating.
However, items between transmitting and receiving devices
might weaken the signal.
Connection to another device can be made within a range of up
to 10 metres. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will
have an effect on the performance. For all tasks, except
beaming, it is necessary that you first set up a permanent and
trusted relationship between your P908 and the other device.
This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to
it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your P908
even after you have turned it off so you do not need to repeat the
process for every connection with those devices. The reason for
pairing is to simplify future connections and to make them
secure – only paired devices can connect to your P908.
Activating Bluetooth wireless technology
Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P908 in
Control
panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
.
Set
Operation mode

,
and set if your P908 should be

for more information on Bluetooth
wireless technology settings.
The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode can also be
changed with the Flip closed, through the
Connections
application. When the Bluetooth wireless technology is

appears on the screen and the left indicator on top
of your P908 flashes blue.
Pairing
To let your P908 initiate pairing with another device, such as a
headset
1. In
Control panel > Connections> Bluetooth > Settings
, set
Operation
mode
to
On.
2. Set the other device to be on or discoverable.
3. In the

. Your P908 searches for all devices
in the vicinity and lists them.
– All enabled devices that are visible to others within range,
are shown with their name and icon. You can use
Show:
to
restrict the list to one category (only PC, for example).
– Paired devices that are within range are shown with
regular text.
– Non-paired devices that are within range are shown with
their names in
italics.
– Devices that are within range but unknown are shown
with a preset name.
4. Select the device you want your P908 to pair with, and enter
a passcode when asked for it. When the passcode is accepted,
the pairing process is complete, see
5. If in the future you want to allow a paired device to connect
to your P908 without you explicitly approving each
connection, you should select
Control panel > Connections >
Bluetooth > Devices,
then select a device and the check box
Allow to connect without confirmation
.
