| Connect a HUAWEI phone/tablet to a Bluetooth device |
1. Connect to a headset/speaker
1. Power on the headset/speaker and enable Pairing mode
To enable Pairing mode on a headset/speaker, you can hold down on the Function button or Power button until the indicator flashes or is steady on.

1. For details about how to connect your device to a HUAWEI watch/band, see [HUAWEI] Pairing your wearable device with an EMUI/Android phone.
2. In general, you'll need to install an additional app when you connect your device to a non-HUAWEI watch/band. Please refer to the user manual of your watch/band to enable Pairing mode, and then connect your watch/band to your phone/tablet using the relevant app.
Note: When you establish a connection, make sure that Location is enabled on your phone/tablet and that the location permission is granted for the relevant app.
3. Connect to a car kit
Please first contact the car manufacturer to check whether you should connect your car to your phone from the head unit or from your phone.
1. Connect your phone to your car from your phone
Make sure that the car Bluetooth is enabled and can be detected. Then on your phone's Bluetooth search screen, touch the desired car Bluetooth.
2. Connect your car to your phone from the head unit
Make sure that the phone Bluetooth is enabled and can be detected. Then on the car's Bluetooth settings screen, touch the desired phone Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your phone. Touch the upper right corner of the Bluetooth screen, where you'll find instructions for how to connect common car brands. If you cannot find your car brand or model in the list, please consult with the car manufacturer about the connection method.
Note: Call audio and media audio need to be connected separately for certain car models.
4. Connect to other phones/tablets/laptops
1. Make sure that Bluetooth and Pairing mode are enabled on the phone/tablet/laptop that is being connected to.
2. Enable Bluetooth on your phone/tablet, and touch the device you wish to connect to in the search results.
Note: 1. Once your phone/tablet is connected to another phone/tablet/laptop, you can view the paired device in the phone/tablet settings. However, please note that, these paired devices will not display as connected. You can then try transferring files between devices via Bluetooth.
2. iPhones/iPads/MacBooks cannot be directly connected to non-Apple devices to transfer files via Bluetooth.
5. Connect to other types of devices
For devices such as blood pressure meters, POS machines, treadmills, printers, and mobile gimbals, you'll need to download additional apps to connect. For details, see the Bluetooth device manual or consult with customer service of your Bluetooth device manufacturer, and follow the onscreen instructions in the app to complete the connection.
Note: When you establish a connection, make sure that Location is enabled on your phone/tablet and that the location permission is granted for the relevant app.
Unable to detect or connect to a Bluetooth device on my phone/tablet
