4Select the Visibility pick list and select one of the following:

Visible: Enables Bluetooth devices that are not on your Trusted Device list to request a connection with your smartphone. Your smartphone remains accessible to other devices until you turn this option off. After you’re done using this setting, remember to change it back to Hidden.

TIP Use the Visible option only when you need your smartphone to be accessible for an extended period of time. For short term accessibility, use the Temporary option.

Temporary: Enables Bluetooth devices that are not on your Trusted Device list to request a connection with your smartphone during the next two minutes. Your smartphone reverts to the Hidden setting and becomes inaccessible to other devices after two minutes.

Hidden: Allows only devices with which you have previously formed a partnership to request a connection
