10.4Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices 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 device and computer via Bluetooth.

•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.

•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.

•Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.

Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC device has no integrated phone capability.

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 not vice versa.

•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 on board 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, then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.

To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible

1.On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

2.Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices check boxes.

3.Tap OK.

Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same Bluetooth passcode on both devices.

Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again. Make sure that on the two devices, Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1.On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

2.On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device searches for other Bluetooth devices and displays them in the box.
