8.8 Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of
about 30 feet without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
1. On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.
2. Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor
receive information using Bluetooth.
3. Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices within range can detect your phone.
Note 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.
