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 phone operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your phone.
• 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, and then turn off your
phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone 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.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your phone visible
Tap Start > Settings, and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Mode tab.
Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices
check boxes.
Tap OK. The Title bar shows to indicate that the phone is in visible mode.
