Connecting to Devices With Bluetooth Wireless Technology
With your PalmCentro™ smart device’s built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can
connect to a number of devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, such as a
headset, car kit, printer, or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and handhelds. When
you connect to another device, you create a partnership (also referred to by terms such as
trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing) with that device. If your computer is enabled with
Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronize wirelessly or use your phone as a
wireless modem.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your
Centrodevice. When communicating with trusted devices, your Centrodevice skips the
discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth
range is up to 30feet (10 meters) in ideal conditions. Performance and range are affected
by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other
factors.
When you configure a headset (see “Connecting to a Bluetooth® Hands-Free Device” on
page80), th e headset is automatically added to your trusted device list. Follow the steps in
this section to add other devices to your trusted device list, such as your computer or GPS
device enabled with Bluetooth technology.

Entering Basic Bluetooth Settings

To use your Centrodevice’s Bluetooth functionality, you need to turn the Bluetooth feature
on, and you may need to make your device either temporarily or permanently visible. You
can also enter a name for your device.
