Introducing Bluetooth, Bluetooth icon | Asus A636, 632 specification

Introducing Bluetooth®

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection.

Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10 meters. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the specified range.

NOTE If you experienced problems using Bluetooth® in a landscape display orientation, revert to portrait. See page 2-19 for details.

The Bluetooth technology allows your Pocket PC to:

•Locate other Bluetooth devices within the vicinity

•Discover the services that those devices offer

•Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services

•Enable or disable individual services

•Use security features including authentication, authorization, and encryption
