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 passkey 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 passkey

again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters from

one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.

On your device, tap

Start > Settings > Connections tab >

Bluetooth.

2.

On the

Devices tab, tap New Partnership. 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 passkey to establish a secure connection. The

passkey can be 1 up to 16 characters.

6.

Tap

Next.

7.

Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The

receiving party needs to enter the same passkey that you specified.
