Another way to enable or disable the Bluetooth feature is via the quick access menu.

To enable the Bluetooth module, follow the steps below:

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen with one finger and tap the icon in the top-right corner, or swipe down with two fingers to avoid the notification area (depends on the model number and manufacturer of the device)
   
   
2. Tap the Bluetooth icon to enable the Bluetooth feature (on most devices, if the icon is colored white that means that the Bluetooth feature is enabled, if it's grey, then it's disabled)
   
   * The quick access menu's appearance is different from one device to another, but, the icons are the same as the ones shown below
