Chapter 8 Bluetooth®

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information without requiring a physical connection. Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up devices to exchange information through Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet) in an open space environment. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the specified range.

Bluetooth 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

NOTE If you experience problems using Bluetooth® in a landscape display orientation, revert to portrait.
