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 Bluetooth is turned on and in visible
mode on the two devices.

To create a Bluetooth partnership:

1.

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

Bluetooth.

2.

On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device

will search for other Bluetooth devices and display
them in the box.

3.

Tap a device name in the box.

4.

Tap Next.

5.

Enter a passcode to establish a secure connection. The

passcode can be from 1 to 16 characters long.

6.

Tap Next.
