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 as described below:
Normal: This plain icon indicates that a specific service is potentially
available from the selected device. For example, this icon 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, this icon indicates that
this computer is connected to the PIM item transfer service of the
remote device.
Not Available: This 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, this icon
indicates that the Bluetooth faxing service is not currently available.
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.
NOTE: There are some differences between the service icons used by Windows 9x,
ME, and 2000, and those used by Windows XP.
