iPhone – The bluetooth experience
The bluetooth experience
Almost everyone you see around walks with a shiny Bluetooth in their ear. Previously the
usage of Bluetooth was something of an adventure to most people as it was pretty tough
to get your Bluetooth configured to work with your iPhone. The process of setting a
Bluetooth to work with your iPhone is called ‘pairing’.
Pairing is important because the signals being sent from the iPhone and the ear piece
should stay only between them. No other devices should be able to use this signal. In
other words, you wouldn’t want a passer by to catch your signal and hear what you are
talking on their Bluetooth earpiece. Doing the ‘pairing’ is very easy on your iPhone.
* On the earpiece, turn on Bluetooth. Make the earpiece discoverable. Discoverable
just means that your phone can ’see’ it. You’ll have to consult the earpiece’s
instructions to learn how to do so.
* On the iPhone, tap Home > Settings > General > Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth to
On. When you do this, your iPhone automatically searches for nearby Bluetooth
devices.
* Tap the earpiece’s name and the passcode. The passcode is a number, usually four
or six digits, which must be typed into the phone within about a minute. You have
to enter this only once, during the initial pairing process. This is done to prevent
anyone else to use your iPhone from their Bluetooth earpieces.
