158 Bluetooth
9.1 Bluetooth Modes
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 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.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor
receive information using Bluetooth.
Notes • 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.
• 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 an aircraft
and in hospitals.
