Note:
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once
pairing is established the devices continue to recognize their partnership
and exchange information without entering a passcode.

1. Verify Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap
Visible

Your device must be visible to successfully pair with an
external device.
3. Tap
Scan for devices
. Your device displays a list of
discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5. Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and tap
OK
.
6. The external device must accept the connection and enter
your device’s PIN code.
Once successfully paired to an external device,
displays in the Status area.
Note:
Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-
compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and
functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth-compatible devices.
Disconnecting a Paired Bluetooth Device
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the
device and your phone, but retains the knowledge of the pairing.
At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no
need to setup the connection information again.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch the previously
paired device (from the bottom of the page).
3. Tap
OK
to confirm disconnection.

From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold the name
of the previously paired device, and select
Disconnect
.
Note:
Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the
paired device goes out of range of your phone or it is powered off.
Deleting a Paired Bluetooth Device
Deleting a device from your list removes its “connection record”
and upon reconnection would require that you re-enter all the
previous pairing information.
1. Verify Bluetooth is active.
