Getting Connected
8.5 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance
of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even
beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the
Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
• Beam information, such as les, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
• Synchronize information between your device and computer via
Bluetooth.
• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-
free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone
conversations.
• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or
computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services
available on that device.
• Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-
enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC
device has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned o. In this mode, you can neither send
nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
Bluetooth o at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on
board an aircraft and in hospitals.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.
