Service Icons

Services are what a Bluetooth device can do for other Bluetooth devices, such as provide
access to a local area network, or the ability to send a fax.
Some devices, such as headsets or network access points, may provide only a single
service. Others, such as desktop and laptop computers, can potentially provide all of the
Bluetooth services.
Single-service devices often use virtually the same icon for the service as that used for
the device. For example, the headset service icon is identical to the headset device icon.
Multiservice devices use a different icon for each service that they provide. Service icons
have three states as described below:
