4.6PAIRING DEVICES
Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique link key, which they exchange each time they connect.
NOTE: The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth Places, even if the mate is not turned on or is out of connection range.
Paired devices remain paired even when
•One of the devices is not on.
•A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped.
•One or both devices are rebooted.
