Your VAIO computer searches for devices and displays a device list.
Follow the on-screen instructions to register your device.
Note
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, it may take some time for your VAIO computer to find the device.
If your device does not appear in the list, repeat the procedure to ready the device for connection (for
example, pressing the button for connection).
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the procedure to establish connection may vary. Refer to the
manual that came with the device for the procedure.
Hint
If your VAIO computer is compliant with BLUETOOTH high speed technology and you intend to use it for
high-speed communications, change the
Wi-Fi
setting under
Wireless devices
to
On
in step 4.
A window appears for passcode input if a BLUETOOTH device is requesting 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.
For details on the operations, open
Windows Help and Support
(

and enter "BLUETOOTH" in the search box.
About BLUETOOTH(R) Security
The BLUETOOTH wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to control
communication with other devices.
The authentication function helps you prevent unwanted anonymous BLUETOOTH devices from accessing
your VAIO computer. The first time two BLUETOOTH devices communicate, a common passcode (a password
required for authentication) should be identified to register both devices. Once a device is registered, there is
no need to re-enter the passcode.
For details, open
Windows Help and Support
(
Opening Windows Help and Support
), and enter
"BLUETOOTH" in the search box.
