10.3 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 33 feet without requiring a physical connection. You can even send information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.

Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:

To send information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

To synchronize information between your device and computer via Bluetooth.

To use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth- enabled hands-free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone conversations.

To use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.

To create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.

Bluetooth Modes

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but cannot be detected by those devices.

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.

Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth- enabled devices can detect your device.

Note:

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