About Bluetooth technology

Bluetooth® technology is designed to enable you to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry® device and a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a handsfree car kit or wireless stereo headset. After you pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth enabled device, you can connect to that Bluetooth enabled device when the device is within range of your BlackBerry device (a typical range is approximately 10 meters).

When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry device to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth icons appear in the device status section of the screen. For more information about Bluetooth icons, see the printed documentation that came with your BlackBerry device.
