About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range communications
technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a
number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and
hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled
handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones.
The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to
approximately 30 feet.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off

Off. Turning Bluetooth on activates the internal
Bluetooth antenna.
Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and
reduce your available usage times. It is recommended
that if you do not need it active, turn it off. It is also
recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within locations
that prohibit its use.
