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.

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.

3.Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices within range can detect your phone.
