Connection via Bluetooth
wireless technology
You can connect your P900 to other products equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs or other mobile
phones, and exchange data. Since Bluetooth wireless technology
is radio-based, there does not have to be a free line of sight
between transmitting and receiving devices. This means that
your P900 can stay in your pocket while communicating.
However, items between transmitting and receiving devices
might weaken the signal.
Connection to another device can be made within a range of up
to 10 metres. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will
have an effect on the performance. For all tasks, except
beaming, it is necessary that you first set up a permanent and
trusted relationship between your P900 and the other device.
This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to
it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your P900
even after you have turned it off so you do not need to repeat the
process for every connection with those devices. The reason for
pairing is to simplify future connections and to make them
secure – only paired devices can connect to your P900.
Activating Bluetooth wireless technology
Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P900 in
Control
panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings

or not. See
‘Bluetooth’ on page 146 for more information on Bluetooth
wireless technology settings.
The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode can also be
changed with the Flip closed, through the
Connections
application. When the Bluetooth wireless technology is
activated, appears on the screen and the left indicator on top
of your P900 flashes blue.
