About Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth® technology is designed to enable you to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry® device and a Bluetooth
enabled device, such as a handsfree car kit or wireless headset. After you pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth enabled device,
you can connect to that Bluetooth enabled device when the device is within range of your BlackBerry device (a typical range is approximately
10 meters).
When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry device to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth icons
appear in the device status section of the screen. See the printed documentation that came with your BlackBerry device for more information
about Bluetooth icons.
