About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that 
allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth 
devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and 
Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and 
wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually 
up to approximately 30 feet.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. 
Turning Bluetooth on makes your device “discoverable” by 
other in-range Bluetooth devices.
NOTE:  Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available 
usage times. It is recommended that if you do not need it active, turn it off. It 
is also recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within locations that prohibit 
its use.
To turn Bluetooth on:
1. Press 
 >  > Settings > Wireless & Networks.
2.  Tap Bluetooth to place a checkmark and activate the 
feature. When  active, 
 appears within the Status Bar.
To turn Bluetooth off:
1. Press 
 >  > Settings > Wireless & Networks.
2. Tap Bluetooth to uncheck and deactivate Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Status Indicators
The following icons show your Bluetooth connection status at a 
glance:
 – Bluetooth is active
 – Bluetooth is connected to a Bluetooth device

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
Paired Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted 
connections between your device and another Bluetooth 
device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing 
for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and 
authentication process.
To pair your phone with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2.  From the Bluetooth Settings page, checkmark 
Discoverable. Your device must be visible to successfully 
pair with an external device.
3.  Tap Scan for Devices. (Your device will display a list of 
discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.)
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5.  Depending on the device, you might have to tap Pair to 
accept the passkey (if they match on both devices) or enter 
the passkey or PIN Code.
6.  Tap Done > OK if you entered a passkey or PIN code or 
passkey.
7.   The external device will then have to accept the connection 
and enter your device’s PIN code.
  Once successfully paired to an external device,    >Ê
 
appears within the Status Bar. 
						

							158Bluetooth
NOTE: s  Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible 
devices, display and operations may be different, and functions such as 
transfer or exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth compatible 
devices.
s  Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a 
pairing has been created, the devices will continue to recognize their 
partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a 
passcode again.
To disconnect a paired device:
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between 
the device and your Optimus V
TM, but retains the knowledge 
of the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the 
device, there is no need to setup the connection information 
again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2.  From the Bluetooth Settings page, tap the previously paired 
device (from the bottom of the page).
3. Tap OK to confirm disconnection.
– or –
From the Bluetooth Settings page, touch and hold the name 
of the previously paired device, and select Disconnect.
NOTE:  Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the paired 
device goes out of range of your Optimus VTM or it is powered off.
To delete a paired device (unpair):
Deleting a device from your list removes its “connection 
record” and upon reconnection would require that you re-enter 
all the previous pairing information.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2.  From the Bluetooth Settings page, touch and hold the name 
of the previously paired device (from the bottom of the 
page). This opens the connected device’s menu options.
