Authorize a device
If you trust a paired device, you can allow it to connect automatically to your device. You can select from the following options:

Set as authorised

— Connections between your device and the other device can be made without your knowledge. No separate

acceptance or authorization is needed. Use this status for your own devices, such as your compatible headset or PC, or devices

that belong to someone you trust.

Set as unauthorised

— Connection requests from the other device must be accepted separately every time.
