3-3.2.3 Break Paired Device Relationship
When devices are paired, the configuration information is saved on both your computer
and the remote device. BTW displays the paired device name(s) in the Paired Devices list
of the Bluetooth Security window (Figure 2, page 3). Devices remain paired until the
relationship is broken, that is, deleted, on both devices.
To break a paired device relationship on your computer:
1. Right-click the BTTray icon in the Windows system tray and choose the
Security option. The Bluetooth Security window is displayed (Figure 2, page 3).
2. In the Paired Devices list, click the name of the paired device, for example,
My Laptop. Scroll down if necessary.
3. Click the
<< Delete button.
4. Click the Done button to confirm the deletion and close the window.
To cancel the deletion before the window closes, click the close button 7 in the upper-
right corner of the window.
To break a paired device relationship on the remote device (if BTW is installed):
NOTE: If the remote device does not have BTW installed
refer to the pairing instructions that came with the
Bluetooth device.
1. Right-click the BTTray icon in the Windows system tray and choose the
Security option. The Bluetooth Security window is displayed (Figure 2, page 3).
2. In the Paired Devices list, click the name of the paired device, for example,
My Computer. Scroll down if necessary.
3. Click the
<< Delete button.
4. Click the
Done button to confirm the deletion and close the window.
To cancel the deletion before the window closes, click the close button 7 in the upper-
right corner of the window.
NOTE: Failure to break the pairing on both sides (your computer and the remote device)
may result in unpredictable behaviors and pose a security risk.
3-3.3 HANDLING SECURITY FOR NON-PAIRED DEVICES
With Bluetooth wireless connections, the device acting as the server, that is, the device
providing a Bluetooth service, controls security. For example, if a remote device connects
to your computer and uses one of its local services, your computer is the server and the
remote device is the client.
When BTW security is configured on your computer

to require authentication, a security
notification will be displayed it each time a non-paired remote device (“client”) attempts
to connect. You can give the client permission (authorize and authenticate) to use your
computer’s services or you can deny the request.
Section 3.2—Pairing describes a method to grant ongoing permission to a remote device
to use all or selected services on your computer. Once paired and authorized, a client will
be able to use your computer’s services without any notification.

Security can be configured in the General tab – Security mode or in the Local Services tab or
Client Applications tab for individual services.
