Wireless Personal Area Networking
“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range
radio links, intended to replace the cables connecting portable and fixed
electronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a wide
range of devices to communicate with each other, with minimal user ef-
fort. Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low
cost. The technology also offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone
network, and the internet for a host of home appliances and portable
hand-held interfaces.

About the Application
Bluetooth is not started automatically by default after a cold-boot is per-
formed. To run Bluetooth, tap Start > Settings > the Connections tab >
the Bluetooth icon. The 700 Color Computer retains the Bluetooth state
when warm-boots are performed, for example:
S If Bluetooth is active, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Color
Computer boots up with the Bluetooth state activated and Bluetooth
virtual COM ports (such as printing) registered. However, you must
reactivate connections, as the system does not do these automatically.
S If Bluetooth is inactive, and a warm-boot was performed, the 700 Color
Computer boots up with Bluetooth deactivated.
