Bluetooth
is a wireless technology that lets you talk hands-free in your car—or
look a little crazy in the supermarket. Bluetooth headsets typically
have a range of roughly 30 feet, so you can stick your Windows Phone in
a coat pocket, purse, or glove compartment and still make and take
calls. The process of connecting a Bluetooth device is called pairing.
Because using a Bluetooth device is a battery drain, your phone’s
Bluetooth radio is turned off by default. You know it’s on when you see
the little Bluetooth symbol in the status bar.
1. Add a Bluetooth Device
On the Start screen, flick left to the Apps list, and then tap Settings.
Under System, tap Bluetooth.
Tap the slider to turn on Bluetooth and search for nearby compatible devices.
When
you spot your device in the list, tap it. Your device is paired
automatically. Occasionally, you might have to enter a pairing code. If
you don’t know what to enter, check the device instructions.
Tap the device name again to disconnect the device.
Tip:
You can delete a device from the list by pressing and holding your finger on its name and then tapping Delete.
