5.1 Overview of Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over 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 range.

The software included with your phone allows you to use Bluetooth in the following ways:

•Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

•Create a connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone to use the phone as a modem.

Bluetooth Modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

1.On. Bluetooth is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features.

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 a range of 10 meters can detect your phone.

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.
