How to Pair a Motorola H500 with a Blackberry Curve

Setting up your H500 headset only takes a few steps.

The Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset lets you operate your BlackBerry Curve smartphone hands free. Before using the headset, you'll need to complete a few steps to set it up, including pairing the two devices together. Pairing creates a secure connection and typically only needs to be done once. Charge your headset and phone fully before you begin the pairing process, and keep your headset powered off.

Things You'll Need

• BlackBerry Curve series device
• Motorola H500 headset

Instructions

1. Press and hold the headset's "Call" button for a few seconds. Release the button when the indicator light remains solid blue. The device is now in pairing mode.

2. Press the "Menu" button on your Blackberry and select the "Manage Connections" icon. Choose "Set Up Bluetooth," then click "Search." Allow several seconds for your Curve to locate nearby devices.

3. Select "Motorola H500" from the list that appears. Enter "0000" when you are prompted for the passkey. The indicator light on your H500 will flash to indicate successful pairing.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have difficulty pairing, try moving the two devices closer to one another. Bluetooth has a maximum connection range of around 30 feet.
