Pairing the Headset with the PS3

Before the Headset can be used with the PS3, the two devices must be 'paired' so they can communicate with each other. Use a gaming controller for this procedure and ensure that the Headset is powered on (flashing blue LED light) and that it is not being charged via USB cable.

1. Power on your PS3 console.

2. Within the "Settings" menu, press X on "Accessory Settings."

3. Press X on the icon labeled: "Manage Bluetooth® Devices."

4. Scroll down and press X on the icon labeled: "Register New Device."

IMPORTANT: Depending on your model of the 8860 Bluetooth® Headset, your power button is either an oval shape with an icon of a circle with a line going through it (5a) or it is a button with a phone icon (5b). Please follow the appropriate next step depending on your model of the 8860.

5a. Once at the next screen, prepare the Headset to be paired with the PS3 by holding down the K1 button until the LED flashes Blue and Red (hold K1 approx 12 seconds).

5b. Once at the next screen, prepare the Headset to be paired with the PS3 by tapping the pairing button located next to the volume controls on the side until the LED flashes BOTH Blue and Red.

6. Once the Headset's LED indicator is alternately flashing Blue and Red (indicating the Headset is ready to be paired), press X on "Start Scanning."

7. Once Scan is complete, the PS3 will recognize all Bluetooth devices within range.

8. Locate "8860" from the list of available devices and press X on its icon to be prompted for a Pass Key

9. Enter 0000 (four zeros) as the Pass Key and press X on OK

10. You should then be taken to a new screen stating: "Register completed"

Hi, try pressing the pin for 30 seconds before releasing. Also, you can detach it from your xbox 360 for 5 minutes before re-attaching the device to your xbox. Otherwise, you might need to send the device in for repair through xbox or your local Geeksquad/bestbuy. Thank you.

You may need a different driver file. If the driver you are trying to use is 32 bit only, then you can not use it for 64 bit windows.

No. But... search for "peripheral adapters", because it used to be you couldn't use a keyboard and mouse with console games but now a few companies actually make hardware that allow you to plug in USB devices to use with PS/3-Xbox, etc. So, probably still no on PS/2 but maybe searching under ps2 hacks might find some ingenious hardware wizards?
