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 (26 feet) 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.
Note 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 device visible
1. Tap Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
2. When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
3. Tap the Settings tab ( ), and then tap Not Discoverable.
