you are asked to enter a passcode.
• Create your own passcode (1-16 characters long, numeric) and agree with the owner
of the other device to use the same code. This passcode is used only once and you do
not have to memorise it.

Data received via Bluetooth can be found in the Inbox folder in Messaging.
See “Inbox -
receiving messages” on page 52.
Tip: Pairing means authentication. The users of the devices using Bluetooth
technology should agree together what the passcode is, and use the same passcode
for both devices in order to pair them. Devices that do not have a user interface have
a preset passcode.
