Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using radio waves, your
phone and the other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. The two
devices only need to be within a maximum of 10 metres of each other, although
the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or
from other electronic devices. Using Bluetooth technology consumes the battery
and the phone's operating time is reduced. Take this into account when
performing other operations with your phone. There may be restrictions on using
devices using Bluetooth technology. Check with your local authorities.
When you activate Bluetooth technology for the first time, you are asked to give a
name to your phone.
Bluetooth connection settings
• Bluetooth - On/Off.
• My phone's visibility - Shown to all - Your phone can be found by other
Bluetooth devices or Hidden - Your phone cannot be found by other devices.
For security reasons it is advisable to use the hidden mode whenever possible.
• My phone's name - Define a name for your phone.
After you have set the Bluetooth connection as active and changed My phone's
visibility to Shown to all, your phone and this name can be seen by other
Bluetooth device users.
