Visible Mode
When your Omnia is visible, other devices will automatically detect it while searching for
compatible Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices with which to connect. Your
phone must be on and you have to turn on the embedded Bluetooth radio.
When the visible mode is active, a message displays when another device attempts to
establish a bond or connect with your phone. You must accept the incoming beam to
exchange data or information with other compatible Bluetooth wireless technology
enabled devices.

Bluetooth Bonds
A bond is a relationship that you create between your Omnia and another Bluetooth
wireless technology 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 visible to exchange
information; however, each device must have its Bluetooth radio on.
