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 personal identification
number (PIN) 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 PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within
a range of 10 meters from one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable
mode.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.
2. On the Devices tab, tap New Partnership. 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. Enter a passkey to establish a secure connection. The passkey must be between 1 and
16 characters.
6. Tap Next.
7. Enter the same passkey that is entered on the other device. You can, however, edit and
enter a new name for the other device.
8. Tap Finish.

partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passkey must be between 1 and 16
characters.
4. Tap Next.
