Getting Connected

6-4 Using Bluetooth®

Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows you to communicate with other devices, such as headsets, printers, PCs, GPS receivers, and other users’ mobile devices. 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.

Setting Bluetooth mode

By default Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again, Bluetooth turns on automatically.

To set Bluetooth mode

1.On the Home screen, press Start > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Menu.

2.Select Turn On/Off Bluetooth, Turn On/Off Visibility and press Done .

NOTE You can also turn Bluetooth on and off by pressing and quickly releasing Power to access the Quick List and selecting Wireless Manager. Select Settings > Bluetooth Settings to set Bluetooth mode or select Bluetooth and press Action to quickly toggle Bluetooth on and off.
