Using the BLUETOOTH Function

computer or a mobile phone. You can transfer data between these devices without cables at a range of up to 33 feet / 10
meters in an open area.

You cannot use the BLUETOOTH function if you disable the wireless devices in the BIOS setup screen. To enable the devices, follow the steps in
Disabling Built-in Devices
BLUETOOTH Security
The BLUETOOTH wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to determine with whom you choose
to communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any anonymous BLUETOOTH devices from accessing
your computer.
The first time two BLUETOOTH devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should
be determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passkey.
✍
The passkey can be different each time, but must be the same at both ends.
For certain devices, such as a mouse, no passkey can be entered.
