4.2 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications tech-
nology. 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 les, ap-
pointments, 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 les, contact
cards, appointments, tasks, and so forth.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth operates in three different modes:
1 On. The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use
Bluetooth features.
2 Off. The Bluetooth radio is turned off. In this mode, 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:
a. On the Home screen, select Start and then
Settings.
b. Select Bluetooth.
c. Scroll to On or Off.
d. Select Done.
