Bluetooth Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu, select Search for De-
vices.
?
NOTE:
The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is
active.
4.5.1 Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow.
However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during
the time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the
displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry
is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique described in
Search for Devices, above.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found
because:
l Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device).
l The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Con-
figuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).
