4.2 Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications tech-

nol o gy. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange

information over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet)

without requiring a physical connection.

Unlike infrared, you don't need to line up the devices to

beam information with Bluetooth. The devices only need to

be within a range of about 10 meters. You can even beam

information to a device in a different room, as long as it's

within range.

The software included with your Smartphone allows you to

use Bluetooth to beam information, such as ﬁ les, ap point -

ments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have

Bluetooth capabilities. For example, if you and a co-worker

each have a device with Bluetooth, you can beam items

between your devices, such as ﬁ les, contact cards, appoint-

ments, tasks, and so forth.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth operates in three different modes:

On. The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use

Bluetooth features.

Off. The Bluetooth radio is turned off. In this mode,

you can neither send nor receive information by using

Bluetooth. You might want to turn the radio off at times to

conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use

is prohibited, for example on airplanes and in hospitals.

To turn your Bluetooth on or off:

On the Home screen, select Start and then

Settings.

Select Bluetooth.

Scroll to On or Off.
