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.

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.
