The Sony Ericsson K800i has Bluetooth technology, which can connect to other Bluetooth devices like handsfree headsets, or let you easily swap files like pictures, ringtones, videos or contacts with other people for free. It works by looking for other Bluetooth devices nearby and then connects to them to wirelessly transfer files.
Switching Bluetooth On
To make it easier for other people to find your device, you can give it a recognisable name they will find when looking for nearby Bluetooth devices. The K800i’s default name is ‘K800i’. To change this:

- Scroll across to the Connectivity tab and select Bluetooth
- Select Turn On
To connect your Sony Ericsson K800i to a handsfree device, enter the Bluetooth menu screen and select Handsfree, Your phone will then look for a handsfree device to connect to. When it’s found it, select the device and enter the passcode if required.
