phone, headset, or other device that uses a supported Bluetooth profile. The first time you connect to a device, you pair it
with your tablet. Your tablet remembers paired devices and usually connects to them automatically whenever they're in
range.
For information about connecting your tablet to a BlackBerry smartphone, see the BlackBerry Bridge section of the Help.
