8.5 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of
about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
1.
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.
2.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor
receive information using Bluetooth.
3.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices within range can detect your phone.
Note
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your
phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again,
Bluetooth automatically turns on.

You can enable Bluetooth by clicking the Bluetooth button in the Comm
Manager. You can also do the following:
1.
On the Home screen, click Start > Settings > Connections >
