Using the EssenceVG with a Cell Phone
Although there are many phones to choose from these days, you will need to decide what you would like to be able to do with the phone. If you just want to use your phone for placing and receiving phone calls, we recommend you take your device to your local cell phone provider and try some phones out with your device in hand. You will need to look for a phone that is bluetooth compatible.
If you are wanting to place calls AND text message, we have found that your options will be very limited since most cells phones are not capable of sending and receiving text messages using a Bluetooth signal. Compatible phones available by Sony Ericsson: W580, W350, W760a, W518a and Equinox TM717. These phones were tested using A T & T and/or T-Mobile wireless support. Due to constant change with technology, the phones listed may have been discontinued since this article was posted. Please check with your service provider for a list of available phones.
When pairing with a new phone, you will use the Phone Configuration screen.
1. Select the PHONE icon on the Directory Page, 
now select the PHONE DIAL PAD key .
2. Select the Phone Configuration key.
3. On your phone, go to the "Bluetooth Menu". To find this menu you may have to read the manual that came with your phone.
4. Put your phone in "discoverable" mode.
Note: "Discoverable mode" on your phone may be labeled "discoverable" or "paired" or "find me" or something else entirely. Different Bluetooth cell phones call the pair button different things. If you are unsure which option to select, look at the instructions that came with your cell phone.
5. On your EssenceVG select the Pair to Phone key .
