Wireless Connectivity
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. With Bluetooth, you don’t
need to line up the devices to send/receive 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 files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between
devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. For example, if you and a co-worker have a device
with Bluetooth, you can beam items between your devices; these items could include files,
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 activate Bluetooth function, tap the Turn on Bluetooth option if it is not check; uncheck
this option to deactivate Bluetooth. To ensure your phone can receive data from another
Bluetooth device; first you must make your device visible to other Bluetooth devices by
checking on Make this device visible to other devices option. 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, it is recommended that the Bluetooth function is
deactivated.
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 Bluetooth radio is turned on, then all of the other Bluetooth devices within range (about 10
meters) can detect your device and attempt to send/receive information to/from 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 data from another device, you
must accept it on your device.
Other Bluetooth devices can now detect your device and attempt to send information to it,
establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. Note that, to receive 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.
