9.2 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.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab.

2.Tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth devices within range.

3.Tap the device name in the box, then tap Next.

4.Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.

5.Tap Next.

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

7.After the receiving party enters the passcode, a message box appears on your device confirming the partnership.

Tip Tap the device’s name in the Devices tab to change the paired device name and to set the services you want to use for the paired device. After setting the name and options, tap Save.

8.Tap Done.

Note Creating a Bluetooth 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.

To accept a Bluetooth partnership

1.Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.

2.Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
