Chapter 8 Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information without requiring a
physical connection. Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up devices
to exchange information through Bluetooth. The devices only need to be
within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet) in an open space environment.
You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as
it is within the specified range.
Bluetooth allows your Pocket PC to:
• Locate other Bluetooth devices within the vicinity
• Discover the services that those devices offer
• Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services
• Enable or disable individual services
• Use security features including authentication, authorization, and
encryption
NOTE If you experience problems using Bluetooth ® in a landscape
display orientation, revert to portrait.
