About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers,
printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Bluetooth Modes
Your device’s Bluetooth operates in three different modes:
ⅷ On: Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but it can’t be detected by other devices.
ⅷ Discoverable: Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.
ⅷ Off: In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.
Using the Bluetooth Settings Menu
The Bluetooth settings menu allows you to set up many of the characteristics of your device’s Bluetooth
service, including:
ⅷ Turning on Bluetooth.
ⅷ Entering or changing the name your device uses for Bluetooth communication.
ⅷ Setting your device’s visibility (or “discoverability”) for other Bluetooth devices.
ⅷ Scanning for other Bluetooth devices.

Note
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and 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 aboard an aircraft and in hospitals.
