	Setting up an incoming Bluetooth
	COM port
	Some programs can only establish a connection
	through a serial (COM) port, even if the device itself
	is Bluetooth-enabled. To make it possible for such
	programs to use a Bluetooth connection, you must
	set up a virtual COM port. Once created, this virtual
	port can be used like any other COM port. You can
	use a virtual COM port for programs that, for
	example, connect to a GPS receiver, or to connect
	to a Bluetooth-enabled printer.
	To set up an incoming Bluetooth COM port:
	1. Ensure that your Toshiba phone is currently
	connected to the other device via Bluetooth.
	2. From the Home screen, select Start > Settings
	> Connections > Bluetooth > Menu > COM
	Ports > Menu > New Incoming Port.
	3. Select a numbered COM port from the list.
	4. To use this COM port to communicate only with
	devices with which your Toshiba phone has a
	Bluetooth partnership, check the Secure
	Connection box.
	5. Select Done.
