Your device features built-in Bluetooth technology, allowing you to share information more easily than ever before. Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.

Turning Bluetooth On and Off

By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is turned off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your device “discoverable” by other in-range Bluetooth devices.

To turn Bluetooth on:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth.

2. Touch and drag the slider to the On position. (The page then refreshes to reveal new functionality and options.)

To turn Bluetooth off:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth.

2. Touch and drag the slider to the Off position to disable Bluetooth and hide all options.

Bluetooth Status Indicators

The following icons show your Bluetooth connection status at a glance:

– Bluetooth is active (default status)

– Bluetooth is paired to a headset

– Bluetooth is active but having problems connecting to its paired device

– Bluetooth is actively transmitting or receiving data

– Paired Bluetooth device is paired and communicating

– Paired Bluetooth device is disconnected

Using the Bluetooth Settings Menu

The Bluetooth menu allows you to set up many of the characteristics of your device’s Bluetooth service, including:

• Changing the identifying name your device uses when communicating via Bluetooth

• Setting your device’s visibility (or “discoverability”) for other Bluetooth devices

• Displaying your device’s Bluetooth information

• Pairing with new Bluetooth devices

To access the Bluetooth Settings menu:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth.

2. Set your Bluetooth options to:

• Touch Visibility to set your Bluetooth visibility. Select one of the following options: Always Visible, Visible for 3 minutes, or Hidden to set your Bluetooth visibility.

• Touch Device Info to display your device’s Bluetooth profiles and address.

• Touch Device Name and use the onscreen keyboard to rename your device for Bluetooth usage. See “Entering Text” on page 35.

Assigning a Bluetooth Name to Your Device

By default, your device is given the Bluetooth name “SPH-M800.” Whereas this is a descriptive name, it can prove confusing when there are other similar devices within communication range. You can easily change your device's Bluetooth name.

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth > Device Name.

2. Touch the grey name field.

3. Press and hold to delete the default “SPH-M800” name.

4. Use the onscreen keyboard to enter a new descriptive name for your device and touch Done.

Viewing Information for Available Devices

You can now also review detailed information for any available devices.

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth > Trusted Devices.

2. Touch the properties button () for a currently listed entry. Scroll down the list to view all available field descriptions.

3. Touch Done to return to the previous listing.

Bluetooth Profiles

All of the Bluetooth settings you configure are stored in your device’s Bluetooth user profile. You can use different profiles for specific Bluetooth functions.

• HSP: Headset Profile – This profile functions as a wireless ear jack. When an incoming call is received, the ringer can be heard through the headset instead of through the device. You can receive the call by pushing a button. While using the device, you can use the headset instead of the device by pushing a button on the headset, the same as inserting a jack into the device. Increase or decrease the volume by using the volume key on the side of the device.

• HFP: Hands-Free Profile – This profile functions as a wireless car kit. Incoming calls ring to the hands-free headset or device. You can receive calls by pressing a button on the headset or device. For dialing, four functions are supported: recent call dial, voice dial, speed dial, and number dial. Increase or decrease the volume by using the volume key on the side of the device.

• DUN: Dial-Up Network Profile – This profile functions as a wireless data cable, connecting a computer or PDA to a network through your device.

• OPP: Object Push Profile – This profile uses the Generic Object Exchange profile services to send data objects between devices and can be used to exchange objects like music files, pictures, calendar (vCal) and business cards (vCard).

• FTP: File Transfer Profile – This profile allows you to transfer files to or from other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

• A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile – This profile allows you to transmit high quality stereo music from your device to other compatible accessories including Bluetooth stereo headsets.

• AVRCP: Audio/Video Remote Control Profile – This profile enables your device to remotely control compatible accessories including Bluetooth stereo headsets. You can play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, fast forward, or rewind from a headset. (Playback functions may vary among Bluetooth accessories.)

• PBAP: Phone Book Access Profile – This profile enables exchange of Contacts information between devices. It is typically used between a car kit and a mobile phone to allow the car kit to display the name of the incoming caller.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your device and another Bluetooth device. When devices are paired, a passkey is shared between devices, allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth > Trusted Devices. (Your device will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.)

2. Scroll down the list and touch a device name to begin the pairing process.

3. Enter the passkey (PIN) for the external device and touch Done.

4. Once the recipient enters the passkey/passcode for your Instinct, the pairing will be complete.

Disconnecting Your Paired Device

Disconnecting a device does not delete it from the list but rather temporarily deactivates the connection which can later be reactivated.

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth > Trusted Devices.

2. Note	If you would like to search for new devices, from within this list, touch .

3. Touch an entry’s name from the Trusted Devices list to begin the disconnection process.

• As an example, with a newly unpaired headset, the device displays and the main Instinct Bluetooth icon changes to indicating it is active but not connected to a communicating device.

Reconnecting Your Paired Device

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings > Bluetooth > Trusted Devices.

2. Touch an entry’s name () from the list to reconnect the device.

• As an example, with a newly re-paired headset, the device displays and the main Instinct Bluetooth icon changes to indicating it is active but not connected to a communicating device.
