Connecting your standard Sony Ericsson phone This section describes how to connect using the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack. However, if you are using Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and prefer to use its built-in Microsoft stack, refer to the Windows Help and Support Center for connection instructions. To connect your standard Sony Ericsson phone and computer: 1. Make your phone visible to your Logitech wireless hub, by putting it in discoverable mode. On your phone, do either of the following: If you have a Sony Ericsson T68/T68i, scroll to Connect 4 Bluetooth 1 Discoverable. -or- If you have another Sony Ericsson model, scroll to Connectivity Bluetooth Options Visibility Show phone and Connectivity Bluetooth Turn On Logitech, Inc. 3

4 If you have a Sony Ericsson T68/T68i and the Discoverable option is unavailable, this may be because: It is in Off operation mode. To correct this, on your Sony Ericsson T68/T68i, scroll to Connect 4 Bluetooth 4 Options 1 Operation mode and select On. Your Sony Ericsson T68/T68i is already connected to a Bluetooth device. Your standard Sony Ericsson phone is now discoverable; the T68/T68i is discoverable for the next three minutes; the other models remain discoverable permanently. If you spend more than three minutes carrying out the pairing process, don t worry... your Sony Ericsson T68/T68i prompts you to choose whether you want it to remain discoverable - press Yes to do so. 2 Start the Bluetooth Setup Wizard in one of three ways: Press the Connect button on your Bluetooth wireless hub. -or- Right-click the Bluetooth icon,, in the Windows taskbar and select Add a Bluetooth Device from the menu displayed. -or- Select Add a Bluetooth Device from the Bluetooth Tasks panel in the My Bluetooth Places screen in your Windows Explorer (available in Windows XP only).

12 Troubleshooting If you are experiencing difficulties connecting or using your standard Sony Ericsson phone, check whether your problem is listed below. If it is, try the suggestions made to resolve the problem. I can t pair my standard Sony Ericsson phone with my computer There are various reasons why your mobile phone and computer may not pair: Your mobile phone may have come out of discoverable mode. Your mobile phone may be out of range. Your mobile phone may already be connected to another device in range. Your mobile phone can only be paired simultaneously with up to 10 devices. Check that your mobile phone is not communicating with another device, make sure it is in range and in discoverable mode, and try the pairing procedure again. Finally, if none of the above works, try switching your mobile phone off and back on again. I can t pair my standard Sony Ericsson phone with my headset service Try the following: The pairing process must be initiated from your mobile phone, not your computer, so select Connect Bluetooth Discover. Follow the on-screen instructions. Unpair the mobile phone, and then start the pairing procedure again. I m having problems synchronizing If you are getting errors when synchronizing, try the following: Make sure that your mobile phone is not connected to another Bluetooth device. You cannot synchronize unless your mobile phone is connected to your computer only. Check that your mobile phone is paired to your computer before you start synchronization. Look in My Bluetooth Places and locate the device icon for your standard Sony Ericsson phone: The device icon is displayed if it is paired. If your mobile phone is not paired before you start synchronization you may get an error message, such as a General OBEX error message Logitech, Inc. 12

13 Press the Connect button on your Bluetooth wireless hub, and follow the on-screen instructions. If your mobile phone is configured to receive immediate notification then you cannot start synchronization because your mobile phone and your computer are connected. You need to switch off immediate notification. If you think that the synchronization is taking too long, bear in mind that the first time you synchronize your mobile phone with your computer it can typically take up to fifteen minutes. Subsequent synchronizations take much less time. Finally, if none of the above works, try switching your mobile phone off and back on again. When a computer's audio gateway/headset service is connected, synchronization and file sending may not be successful, so try temporarily disconnecting the service. Bear in mind that while synchronizing you cannot receive notification of text messages or calls. I can t send pictures from my Sony Ericsson T68 or T68i to my computer If you are using a version of the dinovo desktop prior to 2.0, then when your computer is connected to other Bluetooth devices (such as a mouse or keyboard) unfortunately you cannot send a picture from your Sony Ericsson T68 or T68i to your computer. You can send pictures from a Sony Ericsson T610/Z600 - see Transfer pictures from your computer to your mobile phone, page 9. In addition, you can send pictures from your computer to your standard Sony Ericsson phone, though the facility can be unreliable - see Transfer pictures from your mobile phone to your computer, page Logitech, Inc. 13
