Find Your Bluetooth Passkey

You'll need a passkey to pair a device with a Bluetooth headset.


Bluetooth is a quick and easy way to wirelessly connect two devices. To pair two Bluetooth-compatible devices, you must have the pairing code, or passkey, for each device. Finding the passkey for your device takes only a few seconds.


Instructions


1. Check your device for a sticker with the passkey printed on it. Typically headsets and car stereos have the passkey printed on a small sticker attached at the rear of the device.


2. Look in your device's instruction book to see if the passkey is written inside. Each device has a unique passkey, so the passkey typically is printed on a sticker or inserted into the instruction book.


3. Check the Bluetooth menu for your device. Cell phones and computers often have their passkeys within the Bluetooth menu. Look for the "Pairing Code" or "Passkey" option. Some laptop computers generate a random code each time you need it, so you may have an option for this task.


4. Check online forums for your particular device to see whether someone has posted the passkey. A search for your device and the words "pairing code" might bring up information regarding the code or where you might find it.


5. Call customer service for your device if you can't find the passkey. Customer service should be able to either tell you the passkey for your device or give you detailed instructions on find it.
