Bluetooth basics
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows devices
to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters without requiring a
physical connection.
Turning Bluetooth on or off
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless &
networks.
Select or clear the Bluetooth check box.
An even easier way to turn Bluetooth on or off is with the Bluetooth widget or
Bluetooth setting shortcut on the Home screen. To find out how to add widgets and
shortcuts to the Home screen, see the Personalizing chapter.
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.
Changing the phone name
The phone name identifies your phone to other devices.
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless &
networks > Bluetooth settings.
If the Bluetooth check box is not selected, select it to turn Bluetooth on.
Tap Device name.
Enter the name for your phone in the dialog box, and then tap OK.
Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit
You can listen to music over a Bluetooth stereo headset, or have hands-free
conversations using a compatible Bluetooth headset or car kit. It’s the same procedure
to set up stereo audio and hands-free.
For you to listen to music with your headset or car kit, the headset or car kit
must support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.
Before you connect your headset, you need to make it discoverable so
your phone can find it. You can find out how to do this by referring to your
headset manual.
