> 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.

> To create a Bluetooth partnership:

> 1. | On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab.

> 2. | Tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth devices within range.

> 3. | Tap the device name in the box, and then tap Next.

> 4. | Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.

> 5. | Tap Next.

> 6. | Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same passcode that you specified.

> 7. | The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.

> 8. | Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device, and then tap Finish.

> Note | Creating a Bluetooth 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 passcode again.

> To accept a Bluetooth partnership:

> 1. | Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.

> 2. | Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.

> 3. | Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on the device requesting the partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passcode must be between 1 and 16 characters.

> 4. | Tap Next.

> 5. | Tap Finish. You can now exchange information with the paired device.
