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. For
example, the headset service icon is identical to the headset device icon.
Multiservice devices use a different icon for each service that they provide.
Service icons have three states:
• Normal - this type of unadorned icon indicates that a specific service is potentially available from the
selected device. For example, the icon to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service may be
available.
• Connected - this type of icon indicates that this computer is connected to this service. The icon has a
green tint and/or a small butting arrows box added to it ( ). For example, the icon to the right indicates
that this computer is connected to the Bluetooth serial port service of the remote device.
• Not Available - this type icon indicates that the service that it represents is not available. Services that are
not available are represented by a normal icon with a small X box added to it ( ). For example, the icon
to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service is not currently available.
There are some differences between the service icons used by Windows 9x, ME, and 2000, and those used
by Windows XP. For the service icons used by your system, see Table 4 or Table 5.
Note: A service may be unavailable because it (or the required hardware) is in use, or because the
required hardware is not installed. Example: if the fax modem is busy, or not installed, then the fax
service will be unavailable, even though Bluetooth supports that service.
