Most devices such as mobile phones, PCs or PDAs have no fixed Passkey. You are free to choose any characters (up to 16 digits) at the time of Pairing - just ensure you type in the same passkey on both devices.
Note, some devices such as Nokia or Sony Ericsson Phones will only accept numerical passkeys. The passkey is only required once, so you don't need to remember it. It is used to generate the security key that Bluetooth devices transfer between themselves every time they connect - the more digits you use for your passkey, the more secure that connection will be.
Some devices such as the Nokia 6210 Bluetooth battery and Bluetooth headsets have a fixed passkey, which you will need to know before you begin the Pairing process. If you are not sure what your device supports, refer to the device's user manual.
The number of digits that you use for the passkey is related to the security of the link between your devices. We recommend that you use a minimum of 8 digits if your phone allows. If you want a really secure connection, use the full 16 digits.
For most devices there is no preset PIN code - choose your own set of numbers and make sure you use the same code at both ends! You only need to do this once, so you don't need to remember the code.
Firstly, make sure Bluetooth has been activated on the device.
