Pair Bluetooth device with BlackBerry smartphone

You must pair your BlackBerry smartphone with a Bluetooth enabled device before you can start using it.

Each Bluetooth device has different ways to be setup in pairing mode so its better to check the instructions/documentation that came with the Bluetooth device. 

Once the Bluetooth device is setup in pairing mode, if you search for Bluetooth enabled devices from the BlackBerry smartphone, you should be able to see it in the list of discovered Bluetooth devices.

 From the BlackBerry smartphone,
  1. On the home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.
  2. Click Networks and Connections > Bluetooth Connections > Add New Device > Search.
  3. Click a Bluetooth enabled device.
  4. If necessary, do one of the following:
    • If the Bluetooth enabled device does not have a keyboard (for example, a wireless headset), on your BlackBerry 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.
    • If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your choice on both devices.
Passkey might 0000 (four zeros)

  1. After entering the passkey, you should be able to see the Bluetooth device connected to your smartphone..
