Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same passkey on both devices.

Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passkey again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters from one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

2.On the Devices tab, tap New Partnership. Your device searches for other Bluetooth devices and displays them in the box.

3.Tap the desired device name in the box.

4.Tap Next.

5.Specify a passkey to establish a secure connection. The passkey can be 1 up to 16 characters.

6.Tap Next.

7.Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same passkey that you specified.
