Preparing your smartphone for a wireless
modem connection using Bluetooth
technology
To use your smartphone as a wireless
modem using a Bluetooth connection, you
must first create a partnership between
your smartphone and your computer.
NOTE Establishing a connection between
two Bluetooth devices is also known as
pairing.
1 Prepare your computer to accept a new
connection. Check your computer’s
documentation for details.
TIP You cannot sync your smartphone with
your PC when Modem Link is activated. To
deactivate Modem Link, complete steps 1–3
and press Deactivate.
TIP If you’re using your smartphone as a
wireless modem to connect to the Internet
through a BroadbandAccess connection, the
data connection is terminated whenever you
receive or make a phone call.
TIP Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, and wireless
telephones using the 2.4GHz band may
interfere with Bluetooth connections, because
they share the same wireless frequency. For
best results, move away from these types of
equipment when making a Bluetooth
connection. If you cannot move away, move
the Bluetooth devices closer together to
improve the reception.
