+## BLE connection, bonding and time synchronization
+At runtime, BLE advertising is started. You can then use a smartphone or computer to connect and bond to your Pinetime.
+As soon as a device is bonded, Pinetime will look for a **CTS** server (**C**urrent **T**ime **S**ervice) on the connected device.
+
+Here is how to do it with an Android smartphone running NRFConnect:
+
+* Build and program the firmware on the Pinetime
+* Install NRFConnect (https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Connect-for-desktop)
+* Start NRFConnect and create a CTS server :
+ - Tap the hamburger button on the top left and select "Configure GATT server"
+ - Tap "Add service" on the bottom
+ - Select server configuration "Current Time Service" and tap OK
+* Go back to the main screen and scan for BLE devices. A device called "PineTime" should appear
+* Tap the button "Connect" next to the PineTime device. It should connect to the PineTime and switch to a new tab.
+* On this tab, on the top right, there is a 3 dots button. Tap on it and select Bond. The bonding process begins, and if it is sucessful, the PineTime should update its time and display it on the screen.
