Connecting To Devices With Bluetooth® Wireless Technology - Palm Treo 700p User Manual

Connecting to Devices With Bluetooth
Wireless Technology
With your Treo™ 700
can connect to a number of devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology,
such as a headset, car kit, printer, or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and
handhelds that are enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. When you
connect to another device, you create a partnership (also referred to by terms
such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing) with that device. If your computer
is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronize
wirelessly or use your phone as a wireless modem.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with
your Treo device. When communicating with trusted devices, your Treo device
skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is
within range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet in ideal conditions. Performance
and range are affected by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby
electronic equipment, and other factors.
When you configure a headset (see "Connecting to a Bluetooth Hands-Free
Device" on page 84), the headset is automatically added to your trusted device
list. Follow the steps in this section to add other devices to your trusted device
list, such as your computer or GPS device enabled with Bluetooth technology.
Entering Basic Bluetooth Settings
To use your Treo device's Bluetooth functionality, you need to turn the Bluetooth
feature on, and you may need to make your device either temporarily or
permanently visible. You can also enter a name for your device.
