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

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

On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device searches for other Bluetooth devices and
displays them in the box.
3.
Tap the desired device name in the box.
4.
Tap Next.
5.
Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.

passcode that you specified.

The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.
