To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your tablet's Bluetooth
radio. The first time you use a new Bluetooth device, you must "pair" it with
your tablet so that they connect securely to each other. After that, you can
simply connect to a paired device.
Turn off Bluetooth when you're not using it, to extend the life of your battery
between charges. You may also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some
locations. Bluetooth is turned off in Airplane mode.
