Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that connects your NOOK wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car Bluetooth systems, and Bluetooth-enabled computers, printers, and wireless devices.
The Bluetooth communication range is approximately 30 feet.
Turn Bluetooth On or Off
Use the settings menu to turn your NOOK’s Bluetooth on or off.
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > Settings > Connected Devices.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap On/Off to turn Bluetooth on or off.
Bluetooth Status Indicator
Status bar icons indicate your current Bluetooth connection status:
• When Bluetooth is turned on, Bluetooth is displayed in the Status bar.
Scan for Bluetooth Devices
When you want to pair with another Bluetooth device, you can scan for nearby devices that are visible.
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > Settings > Connected Devices.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap On/Off to turn on Bluetooth.
• When Bluetooth is first turned on, it scans for nearby Bluetooth devices and displays them.
Pair Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your NOOK and another Bluetooth device.
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a pairing is created, your NOOK continues to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a passcode.
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > Settings > Connected Devices.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap On/Off to turn on Bluetooth.
3. Tap on “+ Pair new device”
• Make sure that the target device is discoverable so that your NOOK can find it. Refer to the instructions that came with the device to find out how to set it to discoverable mode.
4. Tap the name of the target device when you see it displayed in the Bluetooth devices section.
• Your NOOK automatically tries to pair with the target device. If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with the target device.
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.
Rename a Paired Device
Once you have paired your NOOK to another device, you can rename the paired device to make it easier to recognize.
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > Settings > Connected Devices.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap On/Off to turn on Bluetooth.
3. Tap Settings next to the previously paired device.
4. Enter a new name, and tap OK.
Delete a Paired Device (Unpair)
When you unpair from a Bluetooth device, the two devices no longer recognize each other.
To connect again, you have to pair the devices.
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > Settings > Connected Devices.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap On/Off to turn on Bluetooth.
3. Tap Settings next to the paired device, and then tap Forget to delete the paired device.
