Visibility

To allow other Bluetooth devices to find your phone, make your phone visible in the phone’s Bluetooth settings.

Pairing

Pairing means that you code two Bluetooth devices (for example, a phone and a PC) to communicate so they can exchange data.

Authorised or trusted device

You can either authorise each individual connection request between your phone and your PC, or set your PC as authorised. To do so, find the Paired devices view on your phone, select your PC, and edit the PC to be authorised or trusted, depending on the term used in your phone.
