Making Bluetooth Wireless Connections
What can I do with the built-in Bluetooth
wireless technology?
Connect to your Bluetooth phone to send text or email messages or to access the web.
Whether you access the Internet or send text or email messages once a week or constantly
throughout the day, wireless connectivity means that you can go online anytime by connecting by
means of your mobile phone or your laptop connected to the Internet. For a list of compatible
phones, go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/phonelink.html.
Reduce cable clutter by synchronizing wirelessly. Imagine your desk and workstation without
cable clutter. Bluetooth wireless technology on your handheld replaces many of the connecting
cables with a wireless connection for tasks such as synchronizing.
Connect to other devices to share files wirelessly. Wouldn't it be great if you could send files
such as photos wirelessly or print wirelessly on a Bluetooth printer? You can also find your
way using a Bluetooth GPS navigator. Use the built-in Bluetooth wireless technology to set up
connections to devices within approximately thirty feet of your handheld.

of devices:
