Using the BLUETOOTH Function

Some features and options in this section may not be available on your computer.
See the specifications to find out about the configuration of your computer.

You can establish wireless communications between your computer and other BLUETOOTH

®

devices such as another

computer or a mobile phone. You can transfer data between these devices without cables at a range of up to 33 feet / 10
meters in an open area.

BLUETOOTH Security

The BLUETOOTH wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to determine with whom you choose
to communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any anonymous BLUETOOTH devices from accessing
your computer.

The first time two BLUETOOTH devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should
be determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passkey.

The passkey can be different each time, but must be the same at both ends.

For certain devices, such as a mouse, no passkey can be entered.
