3.5.1 Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow.
However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the
time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the
displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is
not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique described in Search for
Devices, above.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found
because:
 Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device).
NOTE: Only available services are displayed in the menus.
NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
