Bluetooth Pairing

The process of establishing a trusted connection between two Bluetooth devices.

Definition

Pairing typically involves enabling Bluetooth, making the accessory discoverable, selecting it on the host, and confirming a PIN or passkey. Paired devices store link keys so they reconnect automatically. Troubleshooting includes removing the device, re-pairing, checking battery, and verifying range.

Example

Pair a headset by holding its button until the LED flashes, then select it in Settings > Bluetooth & devices.

Exam tip

Know the pairing sequence: enable, discoverable, select, enter/confirm PIN, test.
