About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that
allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth
devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and
Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless
devices. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to
approximately 30 feet.

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.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once
pairing is established the devices continue to recognize their
partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1.
Verify Bluetooth is active.
2.
From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Visible.
Your device must be visible to successfully pair with an
external device.

functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth-compatible devices.
Disconnecting a Paired Bluetooth Device

Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the
paired device goes out of range of your phone or it is powered off.

and upon reconnection would require that you re-enter all the
previous pairing information.
