SE W800i bluetooth problem

**Russ** · 13-06-2006, 17:24

I've bought a bluetooth headset and when I try to link it up to the phone I have to put in the default code for the phone which is easy enough but it then says the device (the headset) has to put in the code too - how do I get around that?

Which bluetooth headset have you got?

How are you trying to link the headset up?

There is a menu in the bluetooth part for handsfree and headsets. It should be added there. Only the phone should have to enter the code. I always use 0000.

Check the manual for the headset, it should give you the code for the phone that the headset will respond with.

It's a Carphone Warehouse headset - when I get the phone to search for 'other devices' it finds the headset and prompts me to enter the code (0000) for the phone which I do - it then asks for the 'other device' to enter the same code which of course I cannot do seeing as it's a headset!

When I set the phone to search for 'hands free' devices, it cannot find the headset

Might be worth going to the carphone warehouse and seeing if they can sort it for you.

I have the W800i too and the only way to get a handsfree connected is to use the handsfree menu, as when adding any normal device they both have to enter the code.

Does your headset have a setting to put it into find mode. On my BT headset I need to turn it on then hold down the call answer button till the light flashes green/red only then can it connect to the phone.

Is that enough of an insult?

Why insult you when nature has already done such a good job of it

I should have remembered this site has 20,000-odd members - this could be a looooong thread

I couldnt possibly insult a guy with premature balding who drives a chav car, it would be wrong

**Russ** · 27-06-2006, 20:12

Insult ME, not the wheels please

marky · 27-06-2006, 20:16

I'm insulting you for driving the wheels

I'm sure most of us have been in a simular situation... especially if it was something bought from MFI

Mind you, it'd probably help not to RTFM! in that case.
