8.6 Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones with

Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of about 26 feet

(eight meters) without requiring a physical connection.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

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

devices, but not vice versa.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive

information using Bluetooth.
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:

On the Home screen, select Start > Comm Manager > Settings > Bluetooth.
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

On the Home screen, select Start > Comm Manager > Settings > Bluetooth.
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.
