Bluetooth Pairing
Due to the large number of Bluetooth enabled
devices there are really no universal pairing
procedures. Pairing your smartphone with your
car may be very different from pairing your XT2
with a desktop PC or portable printer. And pairing
with a device with a display will be different than
pairing something that does not have a display,
like headphones.
The example to the right shows pairing the XT2
with a desktop Apple MacBook. Go to
Settings
>
Bluetooth
, turn Bluetooth on, and wait until
the Mac shows up as a device that can be paired,
then
Tap to Pair
.
In this combination, the XT2 then receives a
pairing request from the Mac, which you accept.
And in this instance, a unique
6-digit Passkey
number
is generated so that you know you’re
pairing with the device you intended to pair.
If the number is the same on both devices,
accept the pairing request on both the XT2 and
the iMac, and after a bit, the two are then paired.
Paired devices will remain on the XT2’s list. There
is no need to pair the same devices again. They
will stay paired until you tap and hold a paired
connection on the XT2 and select
delete
on the
resulting popup.
Available Bluetooth Services
As stated above, Bluetooth “services” between
two connected devices vary. In this case, the
pairing between the XT2 and the MacBook allows
the MacBook to send files to the XT2, and the
Mac can use the XT2’s cell connection to connect
to the Internet.
The Mac side is capable of browsing files on the
connected XT2, but Bluetooth on the XT2 does
not provide that service in the other direction.
