Step 1: Touch the Settings icon.
Step 2: Touch the Bluetooth option at the top of the screen.
Step 3: Move the slider next to Bluetooth from the left to the right. You will know that Bluetooth is turned on because there will be shading around the slider, plus you will see a Bluetooth icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.
You can then turn on your Bluetooth device and select it from the list at the bottom of the screen. You may need a PIN to connect to the device, so check the documentation for that information.
