Notebook bonding

To prevent access from unauthorized Bluetooth compatible devices, the
communicating device must be identified. This identification process is
referred to as "bonding". A common Passkey is used to bond a notebook to
the PCGA-BM1.
z What is a Passkey?
A Passkey is a secret code entered by the user to enable two Bluetooth compatible devices
to communicate. When the same alphanumeric string is entered at both devices,
communication becomes possible. The Passkey may be changed for every communication
session. Once a valid link has been established, communication is possible without further
Passkey input for a preset period of time.
The PCGA-BM1 retains the current Passkey until the unit is reset to the factory defaults
or until the bonding information is deleted.
The factory default Passkey for the PCGA-BM1 is the serial number of the unit, as shown
on a label affixed to the bottom panel. For the location of the label, refer to "Bottom
view" in the section "Names of Parts" on page 12. The Passkey can be changed to any
alphanumeric string, as described in "Changing the Passkey" on page 25.
Note
The Passkey is case-sensitive.
