What Is Bluetooth - Asus W5A User Manual

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a global standard telecommunications
method that enables data to be exchanged wirelessly
between personal computers, peripheral components,
mobile telephones and other electronic devices.
Data can be readily exchanged between Bluetooth devices
if they have been registered as components able to
communicate with each other.
A maximum of seven Bluetooth devices may be
connected together. By using Bluetooth to connect to a
mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, or other device, you
can do away with messy cabling and not have to be concerned about space restrictions, which will allow you
to work more comfortably.

The following points are critical in order to configure and use Bluetooth devices correctly.
• The devices must be Bluetooth-compatible
• The Bluetooth devices must be close enough to be able to communicate
• The devices must be in a connectable state
• No other radio wave-emitting devices should be operated nearby
• The Bluetooth devices must be turned on

For further details, please refer to your local retailer or consult the product instruction manual.
Note: A Bluetooth communication card, adapter, or other similar device (not included) needs to be
installed in PCs or PDAs (personal digital assistants) that do not have Bluetooth built in.
The Bluetooth devices must be close enough to be able to communicate
Bluetooth devices situated in places beyond the reach of
the radio waves will not recognize each other, making
communication impossible.
In particular, please ensure that your Bluetooth devices
can communicate with each other before you register and
configure them for the first time.
