Help! Can't pair bluetooth headset to my SMT5600!

[Guest jambaj0e]

I'm having a major problem trying to pair my new Sony Erricson HBH-65 bluetooth headset to my SMT5600. I follow the proper instructions on how to pair for both the phone on the headset. I can get as far to the pass key, where I enter "0000" as the book says. Then the next screen, my headset switches out of pairing status to normal status (based on red-green LED for pairing, green for normal). Of course, pairing fails and the phone pops up this message:

"ERROR:

Your smartphone did not connect with HBH-65. The connection failed or the passkey is incorrect."

The headset works on two other bluetooth phones, both non-smartphone. What can I do? I think there maybe somethin w/ my phone' settings.

I tried both "ON" and "Discoverable"

in Bluetooth Setting:

Device name: Audiovox SMT5600

Beam Authentication: unchecked

ActiveSync Setup: checked.

I tried to uncheck/check both boxes and still nothing!

I'm having the same problem with my SMT5600. Except i'm using my HS850. I've tried it with my MPx220, my girlfriends 6230 and my friends V551. The headset works with all of them except the SMT. If anyone has an answer to this, or any idea's... please post.

Just guessing here, but might you be entering +'s instead of 0's somehow? Might be the problem if you are...I find it difficult to get passwords right when they turn to * as you type them on a phone keypad...
