A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your phone and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.Tap Start > Settings > Communications and then tap Bluetooth.

2.On the Settings tab ( ), tap Add a device.

3.Tap a Bluetooth device to connect with.

4.Specify a passcode, which can be 1 up to 16 characters, to establish a secure connection, and then tap OK.

Note Your phone uses Bluetooth 2.1 with the Secure Simple Pairing feature. If the other Bluetooth device you are pairing with also supports the same feature, the passcode will be automatically created and displayed on both devices. Both you and other party simply need to verify that the passcode is the same and tap Yes to establish the partnership.

5.After the receiving party accepts the partnership, the Bluetooth device name is shown on the screen, including all Bluetooth services that you can use with it. Select the check boxes of the Bluetooth services you want to use, and then tap Done.

6.If you selected to use the Bluetooth Serial Port service of the paired device, select a local serial port to assign for the paired device, and then tap Continue.

The connected Bluetooth device now appears in the Devices tab ( ).
