When you are not using Bluetooth connectivity, to control
who can find your device and connect to it, select
Bluetooth > Off or My phone's visibility > Hidden.
Operating the device in hidden mode is a safer way to
avoid malicious software. Do not accept Bluetooth
connectivity from sources you do not trust. Alternatively,
switch off the Bluetooth function. This does not affect

connectivity

Pair devices
To pair with compatible devices and view your paired
devices, in the main view of Bluetooth connectivity, scroll

Before pairing, create your own passcode (1 to 16 digits)

enhancement, and select Options > Connect to
audio device.
