Do one of the following:
• If the device that you want to connect to appears in the Devices list, tap the device name. Complete the

instructions on the screen.

and tap the back of your device with the device you want to connect to.

• If the device doesn't appear in the Devices list, it might not be discoverable. Check that the device is discoverable

then try again. If you don't know how to check that the device is discoverable, consult the documentation that

came with the device.

• If the device doesn't appear in the Devices list and you can't connect by making it discoverable, you might need

Minutes. If necessary, enter your BlackBerry device password. Start the pairing process according to the
