authentication to establish connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to share the
passcode between the BLUETOOTH device and your VAIO computer. If you do not wish
to connect, select the
Cancel
button in the window.
A passcode is a secret number that is entered by a user to use for the authentication
process to allow two BLUETOOTH devices to communicate with each other. Enter
the same alphanumeric string (case-sensitive) for both devices to allow them to
communicate with each other. You can change the passcode every time you perform
authentication, providing you enter the same passcode for both devices during the
authentication process. For details on the passcode of a BLUETOOTH device, refer
to the manual that came with the device. If no BLUETOOTH passcode is entered for
a certain time, the connection process will be terminated for security. In this case, try
again.
