108 Getting Connected
10.4 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information over a distance of about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using
Bluetooth. Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a
wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.
Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off.
When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth > Mode tab.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices check boxes.
3. Tap OK.
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.
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
displays them in the box.
3. Tap the desired device name in the box, then tap Next.
4. Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.
5. Tap Next.
6. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same
passcode that you specified.
7. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.
8. Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device.
9. Tap Finish.
Note Creating a Bluetooth 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.
To accept a Bluetooth partnership
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
3. Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on the device requesting the partnership) to
establish a secure connection. The passcode must be between 1 and 16 characters.
