Bluetooth headsets let drivers keep their hands on the wheel.
In the past, if you wanted to send a file between two cell phones or between a phone and a computer, a USB cable was required to connect the two devices. With Bluetooth capability, this is no longer the case. Bluetooth lets devices pair with one another wirelessly. This feature is used to transfer files. In the case of a headset, users can make calls without having to physically hold their phone. Although Bluetooth pairing is done somewhat differently depending on the device you have, most pairing follows a simple setup procedure.
Instructions
1. Set the first Bluetooth device, such as your cell phone, to "Discoverable" mode. Most phones have a "Bluetooth Settings" menu where this setting is located. With it turned on, other Bluetooth devices can connect to it. Do the same thing with the second device.
2. Initiate a scan for other Bluetooth devices in the area using the first device. On some devices, this scan happens as soon as Bluetooth is turned on. If it doesn't, run the scan from the "Bluetooth Settings" menu.
3. Select the Bluetooth device to which you you wish to connect from the list that appears. The device type is usually listed, such as "computer" or "headset." Alternatively, the brand of the device may be listed. If you previously assigned a unique name to the device, that shows up in the list instead.
4. Enter the same passkey in both devices to allow them to connect. In many devices, this is set to "0000" by default. If the passkeys match, the two devices pair automatically.
