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 must be between 1
and 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.
8. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name
for that device.
9. Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device.
10. Tap Finish.
To accept a Bluetooth partnership
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
3. Enter a passkey (the same passkey that is entered on the device requesting the
partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passkey must be between 1 and 16
characters.
4. Tap Next.
5. Tap Finish. You can now exchange information with the other device.
