Bluetooth

Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This makes it possible to establish a wireless connection of your phone with a headset of a car kit, or with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. In order to establish a secure link between the devices and to prevent a third party from having access to your phone, you should observe the following points: The initial connection between two devices, what is called "pairing", should take place in familiar surroundings. Both devices must be able to identify themselves one time by using a password/PIN. To ensure sufficient security, you should choose a 16-digit number combination for a password that would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has not been assigned). An automatic connection acceptance ("connection without confirmation") should only be used in exceptional cases. In general, only trustworthy devices should be linked in order to minimize security risks. You should restrict the "visibility" of your phone if possible. This will make it much more difficult for unknown devices to establish a connection with your phone. To do this, deactivate visibility in the Bluetooth menu (page 109). The name of your phone is transmitted in a Bluetooth connection. The factory default is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Bluetooth is activated, or later in the Bluetooth menu, you can change this name (Bluetooth name, page 110). If Bluetooth is not needed, this function should be deactivated.
Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the vehicle user guide for any limitations on the use of these products.
