Connecting to other devices

Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth wireless technology enables short-range (about 10m ) communication, including voice, audio, and data transfer, between Bluetooth-compatible devices such as phones, hands-free accessories, and computers.

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to take advantage of a wide variety of features. For example, you can connect a compatible headset and talk on the phone or listen to music, or connect to your car stereo and listen to music and other content stored on your phone through your car stereo and enjoy hands-free phone conversations in the car. You can also use Bluetooth wireless technology to send and receive data such as pictures, videos, and contacts with another Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth settings

In order to use your phone with another Bluetooth device, you must first register your phone and the other device to each other. This is called "pairing". In order to pair with each other, your phone and the other device must be able to find each other using Bluetooth wireless technology. This is done by making your phone "discoverable" by the other device, or vice versa.

Note

  • Feature compatibility between Bluetooth devices may vary.

Troubleshooting

General troubleshooting

My phone is not working as expected

If you experience any difficulty with the phone, try to resolve the problem by performing the following troubleshooting tips. Perform each operation one by one until the problem is resolved.

  • Turn the phone off and then on again.
  • Turn the phone off, remove and re-insert the SIM card, then turn the phone on again.
  • Update the phone. See page "Updating the phone" (page 69) for more information.
  • If you are prompted to force an app to close, tap [Force close].
  • Disconnect the USB cable from the phone and then press and hold for about 20 seconds. The phone will turn off, and then turn on again. If it does not turn on again automatically, turn the phone on manually. You may need to charge the battery before the phone can be turned on again.
  • Reset the phone.

Resetting the phone

  1. From the Home screen, press :E.
  2. Tap [Settings] [Privacy] [Factory data reset].
  3. Enter the terminal password if prompted and then tap [OK].

  4. If you want to delete the internal memory also, turn on the [Erase USB storage] checkbox.

  5. Tap [Reset phone] [Erase everything].

IMPORTANT

  • All personal information and downloaded apps will be deleted if you reset the phone. Back up any important data stored on the phone before resetting it.

I forgot the unlock method used for screen lock

Contact your regional Panasonic service centre.

The phone does not recognise my IC card

  • The phone cannot detect IC cards if the phone's NFC feature is turned off. To confirm the setting, tap in the Home screen, tap [Settings] [Wireless & networks], and then turn on the [NFC] checkbox if necessary.
    Certain IC cards may not be able to be registered.

The battery does not charge

The USB cable is not connected to the phone or to the power source correctly. Check all connections.

The battery charging icon does not appear

It may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears when the phone starts charging.

The battery performance is low

Try using eco mode to save battery power. See page "eco mode" (page 19) for more information.

The battery performance is poor

  • Check all connections and charge the battery again.
  • Ambient temperature is too hot or too cold.

The phone is hot

When you use apps that require more power or when you use apps for an extended period of time, the phone may feel hot to the touch. This is normal and should not affect the phone's life span or performance.

I cannot make or receive calls

  • Reception may be poor in the current location. Move to another area and try again.
  • Confirm that the phone is connected to the correct network.
  • You may have enabled calling features such as call forwarding or fixed dialling, which are preventing the phone from making/receiving calls.

Calls are being dropped

The signal may be weak or reception may be poor. Move to another area and try again.

I cannot make calls to contacts

Make sure you have entered the correct phone number for the contact.

I can only make emergency calls

  • Confirm that the SIM card is inserted properly.
  • Confirm that the phone is connected to the correct network.

The other party cannot hear my voice

  • Make sure you are not covering the microphone.
  • Make sure that you are speaking into the microphone and that the microphone is not too far from your mouth.
  • If you are using a headset, make sure the headset is connected properly.
  • Reception may be poor in the current location. Move to another area and try again.

I cannot open or receive a file

The phone does not support the file type, or there is not enough available memory to receive the file.

I cannot play certain songs

Confirm that the file type is supported by the phone.

I cannot use Internet-based services

Make sure that the Internet and network settings in your phone are correct. See page

"Connecting to mobile networks" (page 21) for more information. Contact your mobile network operator for more information.

The SIM card is locked

If you have enabled the SIM lock feature, the SIM card must be unlocked each time your phone is turned on.

If the unlock code is entered incorrectly 3 times, it becomes PUK-locked and can only be unlocked with the operator-provided PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). Contact your mobile network operator for more information.

The SIM card is PUK-locked

Once the SIM card is PUK-locked, it can only be unlocked with the operator-provided PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). If the PUK is entered incorrectly 10 times, the SIM card can no longer be used and you must replace the SIM card. Contact your mobile network operator for more information.

The touch panel screen does not turn on as expected

A foreign object is interfering with the proximity sensor. Remove any protective covers from the screen that may be interfering with the touch panel screen's functionality.

No sound is heard

  • Confirm that silent mode is turned off.
  • Confirm that the volume is turned up.

Connectivity using Bluetooth wireless technology is not working

  • Make sure that the Bluetooth feature of both devices is turned on.
  • Make sure that the devices are within 10m of each other.
  • Refer to the operating instructions included with the other device for proper operation and troubleshooting tips.
