Using Bluetooth

After two devices are paired, they have a trusted relationship with each

other. No additional input is needed from the user. Therefore, connections

and activities can be performed between the paired devices without

constant authorization from the user.

NOTE: The remote device must have Bluetooth turned on and set up to

allow discovery before the connection can occur. For more information,

refer to

“Setting Accessibility Properties.”
