    Bluetooth Basics

    Connect speakers, headphones, and more.

    1. What it is

    Wireless connection over short distances — about 30 feet.

    2. Turn it on

    Settings, Bluetooth. Toggle on. Find devices nearby.

    3. Pair

    Set the speaker or headphones to pair mode. Tap them in your Bluetooth list.

    4. PIN code

    Some devices need 0000 or 1234. Most work without one.

    5. Forget a device

    Tap a paired device. Tap Forget. Useful when borrowing or selling.

    6. One device at a time

    Most speakers connect to one phone at a time. Disconnect first to switch.

    Bluetooth uses a tiny bit of battery. Turn it off if you don't use any wireless devices.
