I have the Pocket PC H5455 and a Motorola V710. Both have blue tooth,
however I can not get them to connect. The devices find each other, but the
pocket pc asks for a passkey and the Motorola asks for a bluetooth passkey.
When I type in 0000, 1111, 1234, or the last 4 of my number I get an
invalid pin number message. Please help!

Look in the owners manual for your V710 for information on your passkey. The
5455 can use any passkey. The V710 may have a preset passkey, or you may be
able to configure it. Both need to use the same key. So if the V710 uses
1234 then you would enter 1234 on the 5455.

Also generally one or the other will ask for a passkey. If both are asking I
would suspect that perhaps you are not bonding them correctly. One should be
in discoverable mode, and the other should look. In bonding two PocketPC one
will prompt for a Key, and this can be anything you want. Once you hit OK,
it will no longer ask, and the second PocketPC will now ask.

Since both devices ask for the number, the important point is that you write
the same number on both. Which number you will write is your choice. The
passkey mechanism just checks that the number is the same, to be sure that
the owner of the Pocket PC is authorized to connect by the owner of the
phone.
