Your phone can be paired to your Polaris Interactive Digital Display (PIDD) by Bluetooth®.
Before connecting, refer to your phone's user manual. Review how to connect your phone to a Bluetooth® device. Review the different types of connections offered by your phone manufacturer and how the connection type affects information sharing.
Also verify that your phone is equipped with Bluetooth® and that Bluetooth® is turned on. Note that some of the features and functionality of your PIDD may vary due to the operations software on your phone.
Enabling/Disabling Bluetooth®
1. Press any key to display the PIDD screen icons.
2. Press Key 3 to display the main menu options.
3. Toggle to PHONE. Press Key 3 to select.
4. The phone main menu screen displays.
5. Press Key 3 to turn Bluetooth® on or off.
The display will remember the state of Bluetooth® at the next power-up. It automatically will connect to a paired device following the order set in the priority list. Only one device can be connected to the PIDD at a time.
Bluetooth® Settings
1. With the phone main menu screen displayed, press Key 4 to open Bluetooth® Settings.
2. When the display opens Bluetooth® Settings, it becomes discoverable to other Bluetooth® devices. After 5 seconds the display will start searching for devices.

The display will not search for devices again unless one of the following occurs:

Devices must be discoverable to show up in the list. Your phone settings may need to be changed to allow notifications, missed calls and missed text messages to display.
- A blue color indicator means the device is paired but not connected.
- A green color indicator means the device is paired and connected.
- A lack of color indicator means the device is not paired.
Pairing From the Device
To pair from the device, follow the device's instructions to pair with the display. Accept the request on the display when it appears. The device automatically will connect after pairing.
If an error occurs during training or if the pairing is rejected by either device, the "Pairing Canceled" screen displays.
Connecting a Formerly Paired Device
1. To connect a device that was previously paired, toggle to the device in the display. Press Key 3.
2. After connecting, the display will request the number of missed calls and update the display.
