Pairing Bluetooth Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your phone and
another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure
connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Pair Your Phone
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active. (See Turn Bluetooth On and Off.)
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the check box next to your device name to make your
phone visible. Your phone must be visible to successfully pair with an external device. If you
want to search a new device, you also need to make that device visible.(See the instruction
manual from the manufacturer.)
3. Tap Search for devices. (Your phone will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth
devices.)
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5. Depending on the device, you might have to tap Pair to accept the passkey (if they match),
confirm matching passkeys, or enter the passkey or PIN Code.
6. Tap Done > OK if you entered a passkey or PIN code.
7. The external device will then have to accept the connection and enter your phone's PIN code.
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible phones, display
and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible
with all Bluetooth compatible phones.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been
created, the phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without
having to re-enter a passcode again.
Disconnect a Paired Phone
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but
retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup
the connection information again.
