Bluetoooth problem

[Arizona Willie]

I turned on Bluetooth on my 640 XL and tried to use my Motorola S9 headphones.

It recognized them immediately ( as well as my Surface Tablet ) but will not pair up.

Any suggestions?

Were the headphones in the pairing mode? See the user guide

Seems to be, got blinking blue light. Phone was in pairing mode too. In advanced mode ( on the phone ) I put in 0000 for the pairing number which always worked before when something didn't pair right up. Don't know if I even have the manual anymore. Will look and see if I have a digital copy stored in Documents.

This is the first time the headphones didn't pair right up for me.

might not help in your case, but on my blue-tooth headphones the pairing only works from the off state, meaning from the off position, press the pairing button (which is the on/mute/action button on mine) for a few seconds then it connects. if the headphones are already on and I try the same it will not pair.

cheers

Thank you very much. Kept fiddling with it and finally got them to connect.

I hope since they finally figured it out that it won't be so difficult next time.
