Bluetooth
9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with
Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about eight
metres (26 feet) without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your phone.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Note Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
Turning Bluetooth on and making your phone visible
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab, and then tap
Communications > Bluetooth.
Tip You can also tap Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
2. When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
3. Tap the
Settings tab ( ), and then tap Not Discoverable.
