4.3. USE BLUETOOTH
The mobile computer is Bluetooth-enabled to synchronize data with other devices such as
PCs, car hands-free, headsets, printers, PDAs, and cell phones.
Bluetooth enables wireless connections over a short distance about 8 meters. It is specified
in IEEE 802.15.1 as a “wireless personal area network” (WPAN).
To connect a Bluetooth device for the 1
st
time, the mobile computer needs to “pair” with it.
Such “pairing” involves the authentication between two devices to justify their accesses to
each other. After their initial pairing, they can connect to each other without pairing.
