Bluetooth partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your
device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange
information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two
devices involves entering the same passkey on both devices.
Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process.
Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the
partnership and exchange information without entering a passkey
again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters from
one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
Bluetooth.
2. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device searches
for other Bluetooth devices and displays them in the box.
3. Tap the desired device name in the box.
4. Tap Next.
5. Specify a passkey to establish a secure connection. The
passkey can be 1 up to 16 characters.
6. Tap Next.
7. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The
receiving party needs to enter the same passkey that you specified.
8. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit
and enter a new name for that device.
