Discoverable

The Bluetooth radio is turned on, and any

other Bluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can

detect your device and attempt to beam information to it,

establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. In this mode,

other devices can detect your device, whether or not a bond

has been created. However, in order to receive a beam from

another device, you must accept it on your device.

If you no longer want your device to be discoverable, select

Off to turn off the radio; or On to leave the radio on but not

allow detection by other devices.

Bonds

A bond is a relationship that you create between your

Smartphone and another Bluetooth device in order to ex-

change information more securely. Creating a bond involves

entering the same personal identification number (PIN) on

the two devices you want to bond. Once a bond is created,

the devices recognize the bond and are able to exchange

information without your entering a PIN again.

To create a bond:

1.

Make sure that the two devices are within 10 meters of

each other and that Bluetooth is in discoverable mode on

both devices.

2.

When in the Home screen, select

Settings > Bluetooth

> Bluetooth from the Start menu.

3.

Select

Devices from the menu, and then New. Your device

searches for other Bluetooth devices and displays them

in the list.

4.

Select the device you want, then select

Add.

5.

In

PIN, enter a PIN of between 1 and 16 characters, and

select

6.

Enter the same PIN on the other device.

7.

If desired, enter the name of the other device in

Name,

and select

Done.
