Pair with a Bluetooth Device

Pairing initiates a connection between your tablet and the target device, usually by using a passcode or PIN. After pairing, your tablet and the target device recognize each other and exchange information without having to enter a passcode or PIN.

1.From home, tap Apps > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth.

2.Tap On/Off to turn Bluetooth on.

3.Make sure that the target device is discoverable so that your tablet can find it. Refer to the instructions that came with the target device to find out how to set it to discoverable mode.

4.Tap Scan. Your tablet will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range.

5.When you see the name of the target device displayed in the Available devices section, tap the name. Your tablet then automatically tries to pair with the target device.

 If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with the target device.

The pairing and connection status is displayed below the target device in the Bluetooth devices section. When you are communicating with the target device, Bluetooth displays on the status bar.

Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth-compatible devices.
