Assuming your device is supported by Linux, in bluetoothctl you can try after enabling bluetooth on your device

Code:
$ bluetoothctl
# help
# devices
# trust [device]
# pair [device]
help will show you all the commands.

But that is all I had to do, 'trust' only on first paring. If it fails for you I doubt I can help much more. bluethooth is iffy on Linux. Sometimes it works great, but more often on it disconnects/reconnects repeatedly (I have a T420). Maybe on newer hardware it works much better, my work PC (Thinkpad P52) bluetooth works fine with Linux.
