NOTE After you turn Bluetooth on, the device will remember this setting and turn it back on automatically whenever the device is on. To save battery power, please turn
off Bluetooth after beaming information.
Making the Device Visible to Other Devices
After you turn Bluetooth on, the device can detect other devices that use Bluetooth, but they will be unable to detect
the device unless you have made the device visible. For improved security, set the device visible only when you are
establishing new partnerships.
1. Tap on Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
2. On the Mode tab, select Turn on Bluetooth, and then select Make this device visible to other devices.
3. Tap OK.
Creating a Bluetooth Partnership
1. Make sure both Bluetooth devices are set to Visible and are within range.
2. Tap on Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
3. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. The device will search for and list other Bluetooth-enabled devices
within range.
4. Select the device that you want to add and tap Next. If the device you are looking for does not appear in the list,
tap Refresh.
5. In Password, enter an alphanumeric password between 1 and 16 characters, and then tap Next. Otherwise, leave
the password blank. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you use a password.
6. Enter the same password on the other device (there will be a prompt to do so).
7. Select the service to use from the partner device, tap Finish.
Receiving a File
1. Refer to the previous section to establish a Bluetooth partnership.
2. Tap on Start > Settings > Connections > Beam.
3. Select Receive all incoming beams, and then tap OK.
4. Tap on Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
5. On the Mode tab, tap Make this device visible for other devices.
6. On your PC (or other Bluetooth-enabled devices), locate the file or item you want to send. For example, on your
PC, you would use Windows Explorer to locate the file.
7. In the example above, right-click the file and select the destination device under "to Bluetooth".
8. Tap Yes when the device prompts about receiving a file.
9. After the transmission process is finished, the file should be saved in My Documents on the device.
Beaming an Item
Once you create a partnership, the two partnership Bluetooth-enabled devices don't need to be discoverable to
communicate. You can beam files and information such as contacts, pictures, tasks, appointments, voice notes, and
files to other devices using Bluetooth.
