Bluetooth Bonds
A bond is a relationship that you create between your phone
and another Bluetooth-enabled device to exchange
information in a secure manner. Creating a bond involves
entering the same passkey on the two devices sharing a
bond. Once a bond is created between devices, the devices do
not have to be discoverable to exchange information;
however, each device must have its Bluetooth radio on.
Bonds are created only once between devices. Once a bond is
created, devices can exchange information as soon the bond
is recognized, eliminating the need to discover one another or
to enter security features like a common passkey.
Creating Bluetooth Bonds
You can create a bond between your device and another
device that has Bluetooth-enabled. Once you do this,
Bluetooth doesn't need to be in discoverable mode in order
for you to beam information between the two devices; the
Bluetooth radio only needs to be turned on.
To create a Bluetooth bond:
1.
Make sure that the two devices are within range of each
another and that Bluetooth discoverable mode is
enabled on both devices.
2.
Tap the
Start
menu bar in the upper left hand portion of
your screen.
3.
Tap
Settings
, and then tap the
Connections
tab.
4.
Tap
Bluetooth
, and then tap the
Devices
tab.
5.
Tap
New
. Your device searches for other Bluetooth-
enabled devices and displays them in the list.
