About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short‐range wireless communications technology
capable of exchanging information over a distance of about 30
feet without requiring a physical connection. Unlike infrared,
you don't need to line up the devices to beam information with
Bluetooth.
If the devices are within a range of one another, you can
exchange information between them,even if they are located in
different rooms. Your Pocket PC allows you to beam files,
appointments, tasks, and contact cards between devices that
have Bluetooth capabilities or you can create a dial‐up
connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone. You
can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem.

Bluetooth Modes

Bluetooth operates in two modes:

On/Off Mode

When the Bluetooth radio is turned on, you can use the
Bluetooth features available in the i830. When the Bluetooth
radio is turned off, you cannot send or receive information via
Bluetooth. To save battery life or in situations where radio use
is prohibited, such as airline traveling, you can turn off
Bluetooth in your i830.

Discoverable

The Discoverable mode is when Bluetooth is set to on in your
i830, and all other Bluetooth devices are within range and can
detect your device and beam information to it, establish a bond
to your phone, or use another Bluetooth service.

In this mode, other devices can detect your i830, even if a bond
hasn't been established; however, to receive a beam from
another device, you must accept the incoming beam on your
i830. See Receiving a Blueto oth Be am fo r more inform ation.
