About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.

Turning Bluetooth On and Off

By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your device “discoverable” by other in-range Bluetooth devices.

Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available usage times. To conserve your device's battery, turn off Bluetooth when not in use.

Always turn off your Bluetooth when you are in locations that prohibit its use.

To turn Bluetooth on:

1.Press > > Settings > Wireless & networks.

2.Tap Bluetooth to place a checkmark and activate

the feature. When active, appears within the Status Bar.

To turn Bluetooth off:

1.Press > > Settings > Wireless & networks.

2.Tap Bluetooth uncheck and deactivate Bluetooth.
