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 an aircraft and in hospitals.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.
