9.1 Bluetooth Modes

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 26 feet (eight meters) without requiring a physical connection.

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

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

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

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.

Note Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
