8.8 Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones

with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of

about 30 feet without requiring a physical connection.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

1.

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-

enabled devices, but not vice versa.

2.

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor

receive information using Bluetooth.

3.

Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled

devices within range can detect your phone.

Note

By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your

phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again,

Bluetooth automatically turns on.

To turn on or off Bluetooth on your phone

You can enable Bluetooth by selecting the Bluetooth button in the Comm

Manager. You can also do the following:

1.

On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Connections >

Bluetooth.

2.

Select Bluetooth > Menu > Turn On Bluetooth.

To turn off Bluetooth capabilities on your phone, select Bluetooth >

Menu > Turn Off Bluetooth.

To make your phone visible

1.

On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Connections >

Bluetooth.

2.

Select Bluetooth > Menu > Turn On Visibility.

Tip

Enter a Bluetooth phone name for your phone. This will be the phone

name that will be shown on another Bluetooth-enabled device when

it searches and detects your phone. To enter a name, on the Bluetooth

screen, select Security and enter a Device name.
