# Pairing

*Pairing* is the term used to create a permanent link between a bluetooth device and a host device (in this case a PC/Tablet running Windows).

Pairing only needs to be done once per tablet/PC. Windows will remember the device.

> A single 1080 machine can be *paired* with multiple windows PCs and Tablets at the same time. It can, however, only be *connected* to one of them at a time.

The user interface to do so changes with every version of Windows but the general work flow are usually the same
