Connection via Bluetooth wireless technology You can connect your P910a to other products equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs, car handsfree devices, or other mobile phones, and exchange data. Since Bluetooth wireless technology is radio-based, there does not have to be a free line of sight between transmitting and receiving devices. This means that your P910a 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 meters. 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 P910a and the other device. This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your P910a 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 P910a. Activating Bluetooth wireless technology Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P910a in Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings. Set Bluetooth to On, and set if your P910a should be Visible by other devices or not. See 'Bluetooth' on page 153 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 activated, appears on the screen and the left indicator light on top of your P910a flashes blue. Pairing To let your P910a initiate pairing with another device, such as a headset 1. In Control panel > Connections> Bluetooth > Settings, set Bluetooth to On. Make sure Visible to other devices is selected. 2. Set the other device to be on or discoverable. 3. In the Devices tab, tap Add. Your P910a 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. Connecting to other devices 136
