Connect a Bluetooth headset

Connecting a Bluetooth headset or hands-free speaker unit to your phone involves setting the headset to “discoverable” mode; check the headset manual for how this is done, as it varies by type and model. You’ll also need to find the headset PIN code in its manual – this is usually 0000 or 1234, but again it varies.

Go to the W710i’s Bluetooth menu – from the main menu highlight Settings (Figure 1), click Select, and scroll right to highlight the Connectivity tab. Highlight Bluetooth (Figure 2), click Select and then highlight Handsfree (Figure 3) and click Select.

When prompted to ‘Add a handsfree device’, choose Yes (Figure 4), and your phone will look for all discoverable hands-free units (Figire 5). Select the one that you want from the list that appears and enter the hands-free unit’s PIN code when prompted. The pairing will now be complete.

Once paired, you’ll find the headset listed under the My devices menu in the Bluetooth settings area, from where you can connect and disconnect it.

Low-power Bluetooth
The Powersave mode is useful if you only have one Bluetooth device; it uses a special limited version of Bluetooth that draws less battery power from your phone but it only supports a single connection.

To enter Powersave mode, again select Bluetooth from the Connectivity settings tab, scroll down to highlight Powersave, click Select, highlight On and click Select again.
