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

2.On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth devices within range.

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

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

9.Tap Finish.

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.
