Use My Phone as a Bluetooth Proximity Device for My
Computer
You can configure your computer to automatically lock whenever your Bluetooth enabled phone is
moved out of range and to unlock when the phone returns within range. The phone is referred to as a
proximity device for the computer. When your computer is locked, you must enter your Windows user
password to unlock it and regain access to your programs and files.
NOTE: The proximity lock feature attempts to connect to your phone using one of the following
Bluetooth profiles, in the order listed.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP)
• Hands-free Profile (HFP)
• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
If your phone does not support any of these profiles, the proximity lock feature will not be
available. Refer to the documentation that came with your phone for information on supported
Bluetooth profiles and how to enable them.
