Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your phone and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.

Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same personal identification number (PIN) on both devices, and this is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within 8 meters, and that Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.
