About Bluetooth pairings

When you pair your BlackBerry® device with another Bluetooth®-enabled device, you should be able to connect to the other Bluetooth-enabled device over the wireless network when it is within range of your BlackBerry device (a typical range is approximately 10 meters).

After you pair with a Bluetooth-enabled device, you can set your BlackBerry device to connect with that Bluetooth-enabled device without prompting you.
