Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted 
connections between your device and another Bluetooth 
device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, 
allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the 
discovery and authentication process.
To pair your device with  another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. Ta p  
Scan. Your device will display a list of discovered 
in-range Bluetooth devices.
3. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
4. Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and tap 
OK. 5.
The external device will then  have to also accept the 
connection and enter yo ur device’s PIN code.
Once successfully paired to an external device, 
 
appears within the Status area.
Note: Due to different specificatio ns and features of other 
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations 
may be different, and functi ons such as transfer or 
exchange may not be pos sible with all Bluetooth 
compatible devices.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetoot h devices is a one-time 
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices 
will continue to recognize their partnership and 
exchange information without having to re-enter a 
passcode again.
Disconnecting a paired 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.
