3200LS FAQ

1. What is the pairing code?

o The pairing code for the 3200LS is different each time and will be

displayed when a phone attempts to pair.

o If the pairing code does not automatically appear during the pairing

process than a code can be forced to appear by going to Settings -> Pair

with Phone -> Other Phone.

o Special paring modes exist for some phones. If your phone is listed in the

pair list use that mode. In the U.S. Most SonyEriccson phones will need a

mode and Nextel phones will need “IDEN phone” SETTING> PAIR

WITH PHONE> IDEN PHONES

o Most Windows phones will use OTHER PHONES, not WINDOWS CE.

Most U.S. PDAs are running Windows Mobile for SmartPhones, or

Windows Mobile for Pocket PC, not Windows CE..

2. Phone says unable to connect when pairing attempted, what is wrong?

o This can be caused by a number of issues:

 Occasionally, all Bluetooth connection attempts fail for no

apparent reason. Always try again before proceeding to the steps

below.

 Make sure that the pairing code of the kit is inserted correctly.

Some phones, especially PDA/Smart phones need to have the

numbers lock on for numbers to be inserted. Also, for many of

these phones, pressing “enter” on the keypad will not only send the

pairing code, but add “enter” as part of the passkey. Therefore, it

is important to verify that only numbers are being inserted and then

the directions on your phone’s screen are followed. Check your

phone's manual.

 Make sure that the paired device list of the kit is not full. The kit

can only have up to 5 devices in its listing. If there are five

devices, one will need to be deleted before a new one can be

added.

 Make sure the paired device list of the phone is not full. The

amount of devices a phone will allow varies by phone, so please

check your phone’s users manual.

 Make sure that the memory of the kit is not full. This can be

checked under Settings – Information. The second line down

should give the amount of free memory available. If the memory

is low or full, deleting a paired device is the only way to free up

memory.

 If the above steps do not work, it may be the case where the

Bluetooth on the phone just needs to be reset. In some cases, this

may be done by just turning off Bluetooth, then turning it back on.

However, most cases will require a soft reset of the phone. This
