10.11 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of
about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device 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. Turn off Bluetooth when not in
use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless
device is prohibited, such as on board aircraft and in hospitals.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.
Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
