To connect with a new Bluetooth accessory or other device, you need to pair with it. You only need to do this once for each device.

2. On your phone, go to Settings > Connected devices.

4. Touch an available device to connect.

5. Do any of the following:

   • If a pairing code appears on your phone and Bluetooth device, make sure the codes match. (If they don't, touch Cancel, verify the name of the device you want to pair with, and try again.)
   • If your device shows a passkey (like 0000 or 1234), enter it on your phone. If you don't see a place to enter it, swipe down from the top of your screen and touch the Bluetooth notification.
   • If your device doesn't show a passkey and you must enter one for the device to pair, see the device manufacturers' instructions.

6. Touch Pair on your phone. Check the other device for a pairing prompt as well; if it has one, you'll need to confirm on both devices or pairing will fail.

7. Set sharing options if you'll want to share contacts, phone audio, media audio, or internet access.
