Before communicationWhat is Bluetooth wireless technology?

Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs, computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables connection even if a Bluetooth device is in a bag, for example, or there is an obstacle between the devices.

Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.

Authentication

The authentication routine can block unspecified users’ access to this network. When attempting communication with an unregistered Bluetooth device, the devices must first be registered with each other by entering a common passkey to each device. When connecting with a previously registered Bluetooth device, communication starts without you entering the passkey.

Tip on “Passkey”

The passkey is a 1 to 16 character identification number needed to allow two Bluetooth devices to communicate with each other. The connection will be permitted after entering the passkey. This “Passkey” is sometimes referred to as the “Bluetooth passkey”, “PIN”, “Bluetooth PIN”, etc.

Radio wave indication

indicates the radio wave status of the connected Bluetooth device. (Use this indication as a guide.)
