Note If you select Visible for 60 seconds, Bluetooth visibility will turn off
automatically when the time elapses and your phone has not yet connected to
another Bluetooth device.

Comm Manager, see Chapter 13.

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your phone and
another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure
manner.

Communications > Bluetooth.
2. On the
Settings tab ( ), tap Add a device.
3. Tap a Bluetooth device to connect with.
4. Specify a passcode, which can be 1 up to 16 characters, to establish a secure
connection, and then tap

Note Your phone uses Bluetooth 2.1 with Secure Simple Pairing feature. If the other
Bluetooth device you are pairing with also supports the same feature, the
passcode will be automatically created and displayed on both your phone and

the passcode is the same and tap Yes to establish the partnership.
