1. Go to Apps through Home screen.
2. Scroll to Settings, then tap on it.
3. Slide the switch next to Bluetooth option to the right to turn it on.
4. Tap Bluetooth.
5. Tap the Menu key.
6. On pop up menu select Visible time-out.
7. Now you will see four options available. They are:

8. Tap the required visible time-out option. When the dot indicator next to the option shows green means the option is selected.
9. Tap Home button to return to the standby mode.
