Partnership Two devices—for example, your smartphone and a hands-free device—that can connect because each device finds the same passkey on the other device. After you form a partnership with a device, you don’t need to enter a passkey to connect with that device again.

KEY TERM Piconet An ad-hoc network of devices that uses Bluetooth wireless technology to connect one master device with up two seven active slave devices.

You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your smartphone. When communicating with trusted devices, your smartphone skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up to 10 meters

(30 feet) in ideal conditions. Performance and range are affected by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

When you configure a headset (see Connecting to a Bluetooth® hands-free device), the headset is automatically added to your trusted device list. Follow the steps

in this section to add other devices to your trusted device list, such as your computer.

DID YOU KNOW? Check your battery level before establishing a Bluetooth connection. If the battery level is low, you can’t make a Bluetooth connection.
