5.3 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications tech-
nology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange
information over a distance of about 30 feet (10 meters)
without requiring a physical connection.
Unlike infrared beaming, you don't need to line up the de-
vices to beam information with Bluetooth. The devices only
need to be within a range of about 10 meters. You can even
beam information to a device in a different room, as long as
it's within range.
The software included with your Smartphone allows you to
use Bluetooth to beam information such as les, contact
cards, appointments, and tasks to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
Bluetooth modes
Select Settings > Bluetooth > Bluetooth. Then select On,
Off, or Discoverable. The behavior of each of these modes
is summarized below.
On — The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use
Bluetooth features.
Off — The Bluetooth radio is turned off. You might want to
turn the radio off at times to conserve battery power, or in
situations where radio use is prohibited, like on airplanes
and in hospitals. Bluetooth is also turned off when you turn
Flight Mode on.
By default the Bluetooth radio is turned off. If you turn it on,
and then turn off your Smartphone, the Bluetooth radio also
turns off. When you turn on your phone again, the Bluetooth
radio turns on automatically.
