Bluetooth
Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10
meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within range.
The software included with your device allows you to use Bluetooth in the following ways:
• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
• Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a Bluetooth-enabled phone, and then beam information using the Bluetooth phone as a modem.
To turn on or off Bluetooth on your device
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device discoverable to other devices check boxes.
3. Tap OK.
☺ Note To add an extra layer of security while beaming information with other devices, or to set up Bluetooth synchronization, tap Start > Settings >
System tab > Bluetooth Setting. Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn the radio off at times in order to
conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.
