Sony Ericsson T68ie manual Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth™ wireless technology

The T68i features built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. Its short-range radio link operates in the globally available 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, ensuring fast and secure communications up to a range of 10 metres. Please note that in countries where the use of Bluetooth wireless technology is not allowed, the Bluetooth function should be switched off. Contact a Sony Ericsson representative to check if the use of Bluetooth wireless technology is restricted in your country.

Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to be fully functional, providing high transmission speeds, even in noisy radio frequency environments. All data transfer is protected by advanced error-correction methods, ensuring a high level of data security. For more information, see “Bluetooth technical data” on page 56.

Bluetooth wireless technology facilitates instant connections, which are maintained even when the devices are not within line of sight. High- quality voice transmission is provided under adverse conditions, making it possible to use a headset connection to the T68i at all times. A blue LED (Light Emitting Diode) is used for the indication of Bluetooth activity.

Ericsson is a founding partner of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). Bluetooth wireless technology devices that are expected to be available in the near future, include:

•Headsets for wireless voice transmission and remote call control

•PCs, laptops, PDAs, palmpads for data transfer, synchronization etc.

•PC cards for Bluetooth wireless technology in laptops and PDAs

•MP3 music player

•Other phones for exchanging business cards, ring signals, playing games etc.

•Digital still and motion video cameras

•Printers, hard disks and other storage devices

•Handheld scanners for text, barcodes and images

•Household appliances with built-in logic, as well as games and entertainment

•Access points in hotel lobbies and airports for connecting to computer networks and the Internet

Using Bluetooth wireless technology in the T68i

Key benefits include:

•True wireless connection

Cable replacement for connecting to head- sets, computers, networks, printers and other devices.

•Several devices

The T68i identifies and maintains several devices in a pairing list.

•High speed

High transmission speed, faster than infra- red or cable.

•Radio link

No line of sight required; the phone can remain in a briefcase or in a pocket, as long as no solid objects are in between (whereas infrared requires line of sight).

•Secure and fast

Data connection with a Bluetooth PC/lap- top turns the phone into a modem for con- necting to the Internet and for data transfer (faster than infrared or cable).

•Synchronization

Fast synchronization, even without line of sight, of calendar and phone book with PC/ laptop and PDA, and quick exchange of business cards, calendar events and melo- dies with other phones and devices.

•Low power consumption.
