Connecting Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth connecting process allows you to establish trusted
connections between your device and another Bluetooth device.
When you connect devices, they share a passkey, allowing for
fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and
authentication process.
To connect your device with another Bluetooth device:
1.
From the Home screen, tap
➔
Settings
➔
system
➔
Bluetooth
.
2.
Touch and drag the slider to the right to turn Bluetooth
On
.
When you turn Bluetooth on, your device is discoverable
and it immediately scans for Bluetooth devices.
Your device displays a list of discovered, in-range
Bluetooth devices.
3.
Tap a device from the list to initiate connecting.
4.
Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and tap
done
.
5.
The external device then has to also accept the connection
and enter your device’s PIN code.
Once successfully connected to an external device,
appears at the top of your screen and
connected
appears
under the device name.
Note:
Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-
compatible devices, display and operations may be different.
Note:
Connecting between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process.
Once a connection has been created, the devices continue to
recognize their partnership and exchange information without having
to re-enter a passcode.
Disconnecting Bluetooth Devices
Disconnecting a connected device breaks the connection
between the device and your phone, but retains the knowledge of
the connection. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the
device, there is no need to setup the connection information
again.
1.
Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2.
From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the previously
connected device. The status changes to not connected.
3.
Tap the device name again to reconnect.
