Getting connected
Bluetooth™ technology
Bluetooth™ wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to
replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices. Typically, mobile phones are
able to connect to each other at a distance of about 10 meters.
Bluetooth™ modes
Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone can be on or off, and your phone can be visible to
other devices:
•
On – Bluetooth functionality is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, and if your phone is set to be visible to other devices (see below), those devices
can detect your phone.
•
Off – Bluetooth functionality is turned off. You can neither send nor receive information over
a Bluetooth link. Turn off Bluetooth functionality when not in use to conserve battery power,
or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft or in
hospitals.
•
Visible – Bluetooth functionality is turned on, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your phone.
By default, Bluetooth functionality is turned off. To have it turned on by default, you need to
activate Bluetooth functionality, then immediately turn off your phone. The next time you turn on
your phone, Bluetooth functionality will be on.
To turn on Bluetooth™ functionality and make your phone visible
1
Tap
> Settings > Bluetooth™.
2
On the Mode tab, mark the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to
other devices check boxes.
3
On the Timeout tab, change the timeout setting if necessary.
4
Tap ok.
Bluetooth™ partnership
A Bluetooth™ partnership is a relationship you create between your phone and another
Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.
To create a Bluetooth™ partnership
1
Tap
> Settings > Bluetooth™.
2
On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your phone searches for other Bluetooth-
enabled devices and displays them in the box.
3
Tap the desired device in the list, then tap Next.
4
Specify a passcode (1 to 16 characters) to establish a secure connection, then tap
Next.
5
Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. When the receiving party has
entered the same passcode that you specified, the name of the paired device is
displayed in your phone.
6
Tap the name of the paired device and mark the check boxes for the services you
want to use on the paired device.
7
Tap Finish.
Creating a Bluetooth partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership
is created, the devices will recognize each other automatically when they are close enough and
have the Bluetooth function on. There is thus no need to enter the passcode again.
