Pairing a Bluetooth phone

Available services depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used. Check the phone manual and with your operator which services are available.

The Bluetooth function must be enabled and the phone must be set to "visible to all" (phone settings).

To complete pairing, whichever procedure is used on the phone or the system, confirm and validate the code displayed, ensuring it is identical on both the system and the phone.

In case of failure, it is advised to turn the phone's Bluetooth off and then back on.

Connection sharing

- "Phone" (hands-free kit, phone only),

- "Audio streaming" (streaming: wireless playback of audio files from the phone),

- "Mobile internet data".

Select one or more profiles.

Press "OK" to confirm.

Depending on the phone type, you may be asked to accept or refuse the transfer of the phonebook and messages.
