About Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and a Bluetooth 
enabled device, such as a hands-free car kit or a wireless headset.
Before you can connect your BlackBerry smartphone to a Bluetooth enabled device, you must first turn on Bluetooth 
technology on both devices and then pair the devices. Pairing establishes a relationship between the devices and usually needs to be done only once.
After you pair the devices, you can connect the devices when the Bluetooth enabled device is within range of your 
BlackBerry smartphone (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry smartphone 
within direct line of sight of the 
Bluetooth enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry smartphone is on the right side 
of your body, wear a 
Bluetooth enabled headset in your right ear.
When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to another Bluetooth enabled 
device, 
Bluetooth status indicators appear at the top of the home screen.
Turn on or turn off Bluetooth technology
If you try to perform an action using Bluetooth technology, you may be prompted to turn on Bluetooth technology.
On the home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.

smartphone, type the pairing passkey that either appears on the Bluetooth enabled device or is provided in the 
documentation that came with the 
Bluetooth enabled device. The passkey is most often a numeric or 
alphanumeric code.
