+

#*You may receive the same Bluetooth pairing request message twice. This is okay, simply enter your pin code again.

+

#*If you see the message "Bluetooth Error press any key" on the OPL9724, you may have waited to long to enter the pin code on the Android device, or you may not be using the same PIN code on your OPL9724 as on your Android device. Verify your PIN code, then attempt to pair once again.
