Bluetooth Bonds
Section 12
Note: If you do not want your i730 to be discoverable, clear the “Make this
device discoverable to other devices” check box.
Bluetooth Bonds
A bond is a relationship that you create between your i730
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
discoverable to exchange information; however, each
device must have its Bluetooth radio on.
Bonds are created only once between devices. Once a
bond is created, devices can exchange information as soon
the bond is recognized, eliminating the need to discover
one another or to enter security features like a common
Passkey.
Creating Bluetooth Bonds
You can create a bond between your device and another
device that has Bluetooth wireless technology. Once you
do this, Bluetooth doesn't need to be in discoverable mode
in order for you to beam information between the two
devices; the Bluetooth radio only needs to be turned on.
To create a Bluetooth bond, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the two devices are within range of one
another and that Bluetooth discoverable mode is enabled
on both devices.
2. Tap Start in the upper left hand portion of your screen.
3. Tap Settings, and then select the Connections tab.
