Pair Bluetooth Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to
establish trusted connections between your device
and another Bluetooth device.
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-
time process. Once a pairing is created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.
1. From a Home screen, tap
 Settings.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on
Bluetooth.
3. 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.
4. Tap Scan. Your device will start to scan for
Bluetooth devices within range.
5. When you see the name of the target device
displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap
the name. Your phone then 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.
Disconnect a Paired Device
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the
connection between the device and your device, but
retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point
when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no
need to setup the connection information again.
1. From a Home screen, tap
 Settings.
2. Locate the paired device and tap the
 Settings icon next to it.
3. Tap Unpair.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap
 Settings next to the previously paired device.
3. Tap Unpair to delete the paired device.
