Pair Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to
establish trusted connections between your device

Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a
one-time process. Once a pairing is created, the
devices continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode.

> Connections.

Bluetooth.
Make sure that the target device is
•
discoverable so that your device can find it.
Refer to the instructions that came with the
device to find out how to set it to discoverable
mode.
3. Tap the name of the target device when you see
it displayed in the Bluetooth devices section.
Your device automatically tries to pair with the
•
target device. If automatic pairing fails, enter
the passcode supplied with the target device.
Note: Due to different specifications and features
of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and
operations may be different, and functions such as
transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth compatible devices.
