5.3 Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters
(30 feet) without requiring a physical connection.
Unlike infrared beaming, 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 Dopod585 allows you to
use Bluetooth to beam information such as fi les, contact
cards, appointments, and tasks to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
Bluetooth modes
Select Settings > Bluetooth > Bluetooth. Then select On,
Off, or Discoverable. The behavior of each of these modes
is summarized below.
On — The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use
Bluetooth features.
Off — The Bluetooth radio is turned off. You might want to
turn the radio off at times to conserve battery power, or in
situations where radio use is prohibited, like on airplanes
and in hospitals. Bluetooth is also turned off when you turn
Flight Mode on.
By default the Bluetooth radio is turned off. If you turn it on,
and then turn off your device, the Bluetooth radio also turns
off. When you turn on your device again, the Bluetooth radio
turns on automatically.
