Getting started
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 phone, 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 first, and then turn on the radio. To make your
phone 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 phone by selecting Make this device visible to other devices; this also turns on your Bluetooth
radio. If you no longer want your phone 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 O
2 Xda Stealth and another Bluetooth device. To create a bond, you need to enter the same
passcode 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,
Bluetooth doesn’t need to be in visible mode in order for you to beam information between the two
devices; you only need to have the Bluetooth radio turned on.
