Creating a Bluetooth Partnership
A partnership is a relationship that you create between the device and
another device with Bluetooth capabilities to help exchange information in a
secure manner. Creating a partnership involves entering the same Bluetooth
passcode on both devices. Once a partnership is created, the devices need
only have the Bluetooth function turned on to exchange information; they do
not need to be visible.
1.
Make sure that the two devices are turned
on, visible, and within close range. (For
information on turning on the Bluetooth
function on the device, see “Turning On
and Off the Bluetooth Function”
previously in this chapter.)
