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.

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

8.The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.

9.Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device.

10.Tap Finish.

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.

3.Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on the device requesting the partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passcode must be from 1 to 16 characters long.

4.Tap Next, and then Finish. You can now exchange information with the other device.

To rename a Bluetooth partnership:

1.Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

2.Tap and hold the partnership on the Devices tab.

3.On the shortcut menu, tap Edit.

4.Enter a new name for the partnership.

5.Tap Save.
