I just got a replacement Instinct for my previous Instinct.  Now I can't get my Samsung WEP250 bluetooth to pair with it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

when powering on your bluetooth device, continue to hold the power button down until your bluetooth device goes into " pairing mode ".
Then have your phone search for it

Thanks for the help bu that doesn't seem to work.  I am using "0000", recomended by Samsung Bluetooth, for the device name under settings in bluetooth. Should I use something else?

shouldn't have to use any numbers, just leave it blank ( unless the numbers are there to begin with )

I appreciate your help but leaving that blank doesn't help either. My guess is maybe some setting in the new phone won't recognize pairing with the bluetooth. It's not a deal killer but I would like to continue to use the bluetooth device I have.

Thanks Psycho...I got the devices to "pair."  There is a setting in the Instinct's Bluetooth menu that says "connect."  I hit that and the devices recognized each other.  But the Bluetooth instructions and the Instinct manual give a different procedure.  Anyway thanks for the help.  With a little perseverance it all worked out.

Glad you figured it out....I was stumped, lol....
