4.3 Bluetooth Wireless Connections
Bluetooth wireless connections use a short-range wireless link to implement peer-
to-peer “piconets” of up to seven devices.
Each device on the piconet is identified by a three-digit MAC. An individual device
can be a member of more than one piconet. Different piconets are distinguished by
different frequency-hopping codes. Bluetooth radios use FHSS in the unlicensed
2.4-GHz ISM band.
Bluetooth radios are divided into three power classes:
Bluetooth connections can run at up to 740 kb/s, with a range of up to 10 metres for
classes 2 and 3, and 100 metres for class 1.
To connect using Bluetooth, you will need:
• A 7535 with an internal Bluetooth card.
• A PC with Bluetooth and ActiveSync.
Power Class Maximum Output Power
1 100 mW (20 dBm)
2 2.5 mW (4 dBm)
3 1 mW (0 dBm)
