User Manual BCM1000-BTW 11/12/04 Service Icons Services are what a Bluetooth device can do for other Bluetooth devices, such as provide access to a local area network, or the ability to send a fax. Some devices, such as headsets or network access points, may provide only a single service. Others, such as desktop and laptop computers, can potentially provide all of the Bluetooth services. Single-service devices often use virtually the same icon for the service as that used for the device.
