6 6 Sonic Wireless Connectivity Guide Mobile Phone Preparation of the mobile phone The first time the SoundGate 3 is used with a Bluetooth -enabled mobile phone, a one-time pairing connection must be established to introduce the two devices to each other. The pairing creates a unique wireless link between the two devices, enabling them to recognize each other and communicate whenever they are turned on and within range of each other. Different mobile phones vary in the steps required to prepare the phone for Bluetooth pairing. Refer to the user guide that came with the mobile phone for pairing instructions. If the user guide is not readily available, Bluetooth settings can typically be found under the mobile phone s settings menu. Here is an example of an iphone: 1 Press the Settings icon on the home screen 2 Press Bluetooth 3 If Bluetooth function is turned OFF, swipe your finger across the touch screen from left to right to turn the function ON The mobile phone is now prepared to search for other active Bluetooth devices within range.
