Bluetooth wireless devices (select models only)
A Bluetooth wireless device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical
cable connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as
● Network access points.
● Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA).
● Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone).
● Imaging devices (printer, camera).
● Audio devices (headset, speakers).
The devices are represented in the Bluetooth for Windows software by graphical icons.
The Bluetooth for Windows software provides the following functions:
● Personal Information Management (PIM) item transfer—Enables the exchange of information
files such as business cards, calendar items, notes, and message items between Bluetooth
computers or devices.
● PIM synchronization—Synchronizes PIM data between a Bluetooth wireless device and a
computer, PDA, or cell phone using Bluetooth.
● File Transfer—Enables the exchange of files between Bluetooth computers or devices.
● Network access (Personal Area Networking Profile)—Enables 2 or more Bluetooth devices to
form an ad hoc (peer-to-peer) network. Provides a mechanism that enables a Bluetooth device
to access a remote network through a network access point. The network access points can be
traditional LAN data access points or group ad hoc networks that represent a set of devices that
are attached only to one another.
● Dial-up networking—Connects Bluetooth devices to the Internet.
● Bluetooth serial port—Transfers data over the Bluetooth link using a virtual COM port.
● Hands-Free—Enables a vehicle-embedded, hands-free unit or a computer serving as a hands-
free unit to establish a wireless connection to a cellular phone and to act as the Bluetooth
cellular phone audio input and output mechanism.
● Basic imaging—Provides a wireless connection between a Bluetooth-enabled camera and other
Bluetooth devices. The camera can be controlled remotely by a computer, and images can be
transferred from a camera to be stored on a computer or to be printed.
● Human interface device—Provides a wireless connection to other Bluetooth devices, such as
keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices, and remote monitoring devices.
● Fax—Provides a Bluetooth connection that enables a computer to send or receive a fax
message using a Bluetooth cellular phone or modem.
● Headset—Provides a wireless connection between a headset and a computer or cellular phone.
The headset acts as the device’s audio input and output mechanism and increases mobility.
