5.5 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam 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:

•Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

•Synchronize information between your phone and computer via Bluetooth.

•Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-free device such as a car kit) with your phone for hands-free phone conversations. A Bluetooth stereo headset can also be used for listening to music.

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

•Use your phone as a Bluetooth modem for a computer.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

1.On . Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth- enabled devices, but not vice versa.

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