■ Bluetooth On and Discoverable Yes: When your handheld is on, Bluetooth is on,
and the Discoverable setting is set to Yes, you can receive connections from any
Bluetooth device. You are automatically connected with devices with which you
have previously formed a trusted pair, but you can refuse invitations to connect
with unrecognized devices. This is similar to locking your front door with a
dead bolt and enabling the doorbell. Friends who already have the key can
enter freely, and if someone without a key rings the bell to request a connection,
you can choose to open the door or ignore the request.
To disable discovery:
1. From the Communications Preferences list, select Bluetooth.
2. Tap the Discoverable pick list and select No.
3. Tap Don e.
Allowing Wakeup
When your handheld is off, the Allow Wakeup setting determines whether your
handheld wakes up when you receive a connection request from another Bluetooth
device that knows your device name. When this setting is enabled, you can receive
requested information while your handheld is off, and then review it later. You can
allow wakeup at any time, during specific hours of the day, or not at all. By default,
your handheld is set to not wake up.
For another Bluetooth device or application to wake up your handheld, the
application must “remember” your device name. The BlueBoard and BlueChat
applications on the Software Essentials CD-ROM can remember device names;
however, Contacts, Memos, Note Pad, and Tasks cannot remember device names
and therefore cannot wake up another handheld.
NOTE
Enabling the Allow Wakeup setting uses battery power even when your
handheld is turned off. Be sure to monitor your battery level.
