  • Enable Bluetooth on your phone and make sure it's discoverable.
  • Note: Depending on the phone, you might have to go to Bluetooth Settings for the rest of the procedure.
  • Press the Bluetooth icon on the top of the touchscreen.
  • On the touchscreen, Touch 'Add New Device' > 'Start Search.' It will display a list of available Bluetooth devices that are in range.
  • Using the touchscreen, select the phone that you want to pair with and in a couple of seconds, the touchscreen will show a randomly generated number. The phone should also display that same number.
