Instructions
Turn on the Sony PS3 console. The XMB menu will appear on the screen.
Scroll to the Settings tab using the left thumbstick on the controller. This is the tab with the toolbox icon. A menu will appear out of the tab.
Select Accessory Settings from the Settings menu. Press the X button on the controller to select items in the XMB menu. This is the icon with a rectangle with three blue dots in it. A submenu will appear.
Select Manage Bluetooth Devices from the Accessory Settings menu. A list of all paired Bluetooth devices will appear on the screen. A prompt asking if you want to register a new Bluetooth device will appear if no devices are paired to the Sony PS3 console.
Select Register New Device at the bottom of the list to pair a Bluetooth device to the console. This step is required only if you were brought to a list of paired Bluetooth devices in the previous step. Select Yes from the prompt that appeared if this is the first Bluetooth device being registered to the console. In either case, you will be brought to the same screen.
Prepare the Bluetooth device to be paired. For the official Bluetooth headset, the procedure to prepare it for pairing is to hold down the power button until the indicator lights are flashing between green and red. Most Bluetooth devices will have a similar process. Consult the manual for the device if you are unsure how to do this step.
Press the X button to start scanning for Bluetooth devices in range of the Sony PS3 console. It will automatically detect any Bluetooth devices that are in range and ready to be paired to the console. A list of such devices will appear after a few seconds.
Select your Bluetooth device from the list. An on-screen keyboard will appear.
Enter the passcode for your Bluetooth device using the on screen keyboard. Use the thumbstick to move the cursor on the keyboard. Press the X button to select the highlighted letter. The passcode will usually be found in the manual for the Bluetooth device.
Confirm the Bluetooth device information. This will finish the pairing process.
