Connection via Bluetooth
wireless technology
You can connect your P900 to other products equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs or other
cellphones, and exchange data. Since Bluetooth wireless
technology is radio-based, there is no need for a free line of
sight between transmitting and receiving devices. This means
that your P900 can remain in your pocket while communicating.
However, objects located between transmitting and receiving
devices may weaken the signal.
Connection to another device can be performed at a range of up
to 10 meters. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will
affect the performance. For all tasks, except beaming, it is
necessary that you first set up a permanent and trusted
relationship between your P900 and the other device. This
process is called pairing. (Other documentation may refer to it
as bonding.) The paired devices are remembered by your P900
even after you have turned it off, so you do not need to repeat
the process for every connection to those devices. The reason
for pairing is to simplify future connections and make them
secure; only paired devices can connect to your P900.
Activating Bluetooth wireless technology
Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P900 in Control
panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings . Set Operation mode to On ,
and set if your P900 should be Visible by other devices or not. See
‘Bluetooth’ on page 145 for more information on Bluetooth
wireless technology settings.
The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode can also be
changed with the Flip closed, using the
Connections application.
When the Bluetooth wireless technology is activated,
appears on the screen and the left indicator on top of your P900
flashes blue.
Pairing
To make your P900 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
Devices tab, tap Add . Your P900 searches for all devices
within range and lists them.
