This is a setting at the phone end.

The phone must have the Bluetooth turned on, in
the "Discoverable Mode", for a pairing attempt
to be made. "Send To" requires successful pairing,
with the same six digit code showing on both
screens, in order for the pairing to be set up.

But no device wants to pair, unless it is put
in "Discoverable". It's a kind of permission,
assigned to the usage of Bluetooth. My desktop
computer is "Discoverable".

It is like the usage of an airplane mode - if
a device has the Radio portion turned off because
the device is on an airplane, that's a permission
to use a radio frequency signal. Well, the "discoverable"
mode assumes Non-Airplane mode (RF on) plus
the Discoverable property means the phone is actively
listing to the radio channel for pairing requests.
Or scanning for devices to ask, on a broadcast channel.
