Bluetooth
All units come with embedded Bluetooth capability—a short-
range of about 10 meters (30 feet) wireless communications
technology that allows your unit to beam (exchange information)
with other Bluetooth-enabled devices without a physical
connection.
Bluetooth settings: tap Start / Settings / Connections /
Bluetooth.
Mode: To enable Bluetooth, check the box Turn on Bluetooth.
If you want other Bluetooth devices to find your unit, also
check the box Make this device visible to other devices.
Device: tap Add new device to search for other Bluetooth
devices. For enhanced security, use passcodes.
COM Ports: Available only for Bluetooth-connected devices
that support serial (COM) connections.
Power: Maintain Bluetooth connections when device is turned
off. When checked, BT connections are not terminated on
your unit when suspended. When the unit is turned back on,
applications can continue to use their BT connections as if
nothing happened, provided the other BT device is still
connected. NOTE: communication cannot occur with other
BT devices while the unit is suspended and the other device
may disconnect.
Power: Allow Bluetooth activity to turn the device on. When
checked, BT connections are also maintained during suspend.
If the device on the other end of the connection (existing as
well as new requests) sends data, the unit will wake from
suspend and reply if necessary. Note: It is strongly
recommended that your unit is configured to automatically
turn off when not in use. (See the power section on page 18.)
Otherwise, a BT device could wake your unit and not suspend
again, therefore draining the battery.
The details of configuring Bluetooth connections vary depending
upon how the other Bluetooth device works. Refer to the other
device documentation.
