Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send
nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on
board an aircraft and in hospitals.

Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.

Note

By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.

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

2.

Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other

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. Creating a partnership between two
devices involves entering the same Bluetooth passcode on both devices.
Creating a 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. Make sure that
on the two devices, Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.

On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >

Bluetooth.
