A Bluetooth Headset (or "Wireless headset") is an earpiece used for speaking on the phone that communicated wirelessly with a bluetooth-enabled phone such as a Treo.

Compatibility

If you have a Treo 650, Treo 700p, or Treo 700w/wx, then you have Bluetooth built-in and can use a wireless headset. While none of the Treo devices natively support a stereo Bluetooth device, there is a third party solution available, called AudioGateway, by Softick which allows the Treo 650 to use A2DP and listen to music via a stereo Bluetooth device.

Pairing

1. Go to Applications and select Bluetooth or tap the Bluetooth icon in the title bar.

2. Select On.

3. Enter a device name for your smartphone. This is the name that appears on the other Bluetooth device's screen when it connects to your smartphone. (Usually this is pre-filled with the HotSync name).

4. Prepare your headset to accept a connection from another Bluetooth device. See the documentation that came with your hands-free device for instructions.

5. Select Setup Devices.

6. Select Hands-free Setup.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a partnership with the specific hands-free device. When prompted, enter a passkey.

IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices may have a built-in passkey; other devices may provide a screen where you enter the passkey. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your smartphone and your hands-free device. We recommend that you use a passkey of 16 digits, where possible, to improve the security of your smartphone. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered. If the hands-free device has a built-in passkey, see the device's documentation for the passkey.

Sample passkeys:

8. After you finish setting up the device, select Done to return to the Applications View.
