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.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off.
Turning Bluetooth on makes your device “discoverable” by
other in-range Bluetooth devices.
NOTE: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available
usage times. It is recommended that if you do not need it active, turn it off. It
is also recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within locations that prohibit
its use.
To turn Bluetooth on:
1. Press
> > Settings > Wireless & Networks.
2. Tap Bluetooth to place a checkmark and activate the
feature. When active,
appears within the Status Bar.
To turn Bluetooth off:
1. Press
> > Settings > Wireless & Networks.
2. Tap Bluetooth to uncheck and deactivate Bluetooth.
