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.

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

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