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 Bluetooth passcode 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 passcode again. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode on the two devices.

To create a Bluetooth partnership:

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

2.On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device will search for other Bluetooth devices and display them in the box.

3.Tap a device name in the box.

4.Tap Next.

5.Enter a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be from 1 to 16 characters long.

6.Tap Next.
