Connections with
Bluetooth
®
devices
With your smartphone’s built-in Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can connect to a
number of Bluetooth devices, such as a
headset, car kit, printer, or GPS receiver, as
well as to other smartphones and
handhelds that are equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology. If your
computer is enabled with Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can also
synchronize wirelessly or use your phone
as a wireless modem.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices
that you trust to communicate with your
Treo smartphone. When communicating
with trusted devices, your Treo smartphone
skips the discovery process and creates a
secure link as long as the device is within
range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet (10
meters) depending on environmental
conditions, including obstacles, radio
interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
When you configure a headset as
described in Connecting to a Bluetooth
®
hands-free device, the headset is
automatically added to your trusted device
list. Follow the steps in this section to add
other devices to your trusted device list,
such as a friend’s handheld.
