Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on and ready for use.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off and not to send or receive information via
Bluetooth. Sometimes it is needed to turn the radio off for saving battery, or
prohibited to use your device by law, such as on an aircraft or in the hospital.
• Visible. While Bluetooth is turned on, all other Bluetooth-enabled devices
within a range of 10 meters can detect your device.

Bluetooth will be turned off. When turn on your device again, Bluetooth will
automatically be turned on.

Bluetooth partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that is created between your device and
another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure
manner. To create a partnership between two devices involves entering the same
personal identification number (PIN) or Passcode on both devices. To create 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 PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters from
one another with Bluetooth on and discoverable.
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 searches for other
Bluetooth devices and lists them in the box.
3. Tap the desired device name in the box.
4. Tap Next.
5. Enter a passcode to establish a secure connection. (The passcode must be
between 1 and 16 characters.)
6. Tap Next.
7. Enter the same passcode on the other device, and possibly to edit and enter a
new name for the other device.
8. Tap Finish.
