Getting Connected
6.3 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. With Bluetooth, you don’t need to line up the
devices to beam information. The two devices only need to be within a range of about 10 meters. You may use
Bluetooth in the following ways:
1. Exchange information, such as les, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth
capabilities. For example, if you and a co-worker each have a device with Bluetooth, you can beam items between
your devices; these items could include les, contact cards, appointments, tasks, etc.
2. Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth
phone as a modem.
Bluetooth settings
To access the Bluetooth settings screen, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth. To turn on
Bluetooth, check Turn on Bluetooth option; uncheck the option to turn off. If Bluetooth is turned off, you cannot
use Bluetooth to either send or receive information. In order to conserve the battery power or where radio use is
prohibited, you might want to turn Bluetooth off.
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your device, the Bluetooth radio also turns off.
When you turn on your device again, the Bluetooth radio automatically turns on the radio. If you wish to turn on the
radio, turn off Bluetooth rst, and then turn on the radio. To make your device visible to other Bluetooth devices,
check Make this device visible to other devices option.
If Bluetooth radio is turned on, then all of the other Bluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can detect
your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. In this mode, other
devices can detect your device whether or not a bond has been created; however, in order to receive a beam from
another device, you must accept it on your device. Other Bluetooth devices can now detect your device and attempt
to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. Note that, to receive beamed information,
you must accept it on your device by selecting Make this device visible to other devices; this also turns on your
Bluetooth radio. If you no longer want your device to be visible, uncheck Turn on Bluetooth option or uncheck Make
this device visible to other devices option to leave the radio on, but not allow detection by other devices.
Bonds
To exchange information in a secure manner, you may use a bond to create a relationship between your MWg Atom
V and another Bluetooth device. To create a bond, you need to enter the same pass code on the two devices that
you want to bond. You need only create a bond once between two devices. Once a bond is created, the devices
recognize the bond and are able to exchange information without your needing to enter PIN again.
To create a bond:
You can create a bond between your device and another device that has Bluetooth. Once you do this,
