How to connect Bluetooth headphones to a phone? In today’s increasingly technological society, Bluetooth is becoming more and more popular.
Bluetooth originated from King Harald Bluetooth, a Nordic Viking king who unified Denmark and Norway in the 10th century. It is a short-range wireless transmission interface developed by Ericsson, and in 1998, five companies, including IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba, established the Bluetooth SIG (Bluetooth Special Interest Group). The three main characteristics of Bluetooth technology are: non-directionality, transmission of voice and data, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously.
How to connect Bluetooth headphones to your phone for the first time?
1. Generally, when Bluetooth headphones enter pairing mode, you just need to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds without releasing it. The headphones will switch from off to on and then enter pairing mode, indicated by a steady light on the headphone indicator. Then, search for Bluetooth settings on your phone to find your headphones. For example, WEP200, WEP310, BH980, BH320, BH330, etc.
2. Some headphones have more complex factory settings, such as Sony’s HBH-602, HBH-608, HBH-610A, and Nokia’s HS-36W. For the HBH-602, you need to first turn on the headphones and then simultaneously press and hold the + and – buttons for about 10 seconds. The indicator light will flash red and green alternately, allowing you to search for Bluetooth devices on your phone. For the HS-36W, after turning on the headphones, simultaneously press and hold the power button and the + button for about 10 seconds; the other steps are the same as with ordinary headphones.
3. After the headphones enter pairing mode, the phone should search for Bluetooth devices. Generally, it takes about 5 seconds for the phone to find the headphones. Then, select the Bluetooth headphone device you found on your phone, and the phone will prompt you to enter a password. Most phone passwords are 0000 or 1234, but some may be specially set by the manufacturer, which will be detailed in your headphone manual.
4. When the phone finds the headphones and you have entered the password correctly, it does not mean that your phone can use the Bluetooth headphones to answer calls. Many phones require additional connection to the headphones after finding the Bluetooth device. If your phone does not connect to the headphones in settings, you still cannot answer calls. However, some phones, such as Motorola’s V3, do not require a separate connection; as long as pairing is successful, the phone will intelligently connect to the headphones.
Another method:
Open the Bluetooth program on your phone, select — Pairing Device — Options — New Pairing Device — Confirm, and simultaneously press and hold the headphones’ power button for 5 seconds (while the headphones are turned off). The headphones will enter pairing mode. If the phone finds the headphones (if the code is also: 0000), connect the headphones and set them as an authorized device.
First, when you receive the Bluetooth headphones, turn them on. Generally, Bluetooth headphones have a power button and a MODE button; the N3 does not have a power button and is turned on by long-pressing the MODE button. This is not the key point; the key point is that all Bluetooth headphones will flash continuously after being turned on. A blue indicator light represents normal operation. At this point, you must long-press the MODE button until the indicator light remains blue, meaning it is not flashing but steady. Only then will the Bluetooth headphones be in a searchable state, allowing you to search for them.
Once you set the Bluetooth headphones to be discoverable, open the Bluetooth on your phone and follow the normal Bluetooth transmission method to “search for more devices.” After a while, a device labeled with the “Bluetooth headphone model” will appear. For example, the N3 will show a device called N3. The next step is simple: select to connect to this device, and a box will pop up asking for the password. Check your Bluetooth headphone manual for the default password.
After entering the password, a box will pop up asking you to confirm whether to connect to this Bluetooth headphone without searching in the future. Select yes.
Open the Bluetooth program on your phone, select — Pairing Device — Options — New Pairing Device — Confirm, and simultaneously press and hold the headphones’ power button for 5 seconds (while the headphones are turned off). The headphones will enter pairing mode. If the phone finds the headphones (if the code is also: 0000), connect the headphones and set them as an authorized device.
