Pairing Bluetooth Devices

➔
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted
connections between your device and another Bluetooth
device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing
for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and
authentication process.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
➔
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. Tap Scan. Your device will display a list of discovered in-
range Bluetooth devices.
3. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
4. Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and tap OK.
5. The external device will then have to also accept the
connection and enter your device's PIN code.
➔
Once successfully paired to an external device,
appears within the Status area.
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.
