Learn how to use Bluetooth settings on your Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car Bluetooth systems, and Bluetooth-enabled computers, printers, and wireless devices.
Pair Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your device and another Bluetooth device.
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a pairing is created, the devices will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a passcode again.
- From a Home screen, tap Apps icon > Settings.
- Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on Bluetooth.
- Make sure that the target device is discoverable,so that your device can find it. Refer to the instructions that came with the device to find out how to set it to discoverable mode.
- Tap Scan. Your device will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range.
- When you see the name of the target device displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap the name. Your phone then automatically tries to pair with the target device. If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with the target device.
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth compatible devices.
Disconnect a Paired Device
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your device, but retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup the connection information again.
- From a Home screen, tap Apps icon > Settings.
- Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on Bluetooth.
- Tap the previously paired device.
- Tap OK to confirm disconnection
Delete a Paired Device (Unpairing)
When you unpair from a Bluetooth device, the two devices will no longer recognize each other. To connect again, youd need to pair the devices.
- Verify your Bluetooth is active.
- From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Settings next to the previously paired device, and then tap Unpair to delete the paired device. To more information on settings, Refer How to use Bluetooth Settings.
