CHAPTER 12 Making Wireless Connections
What can I do with the built-in Bluetooth wireless
technology?
Connect to your Bluetooth phone to send text or email messages or to access the web.
Whether you access the Internet or send text or email messages once a week or constantly
throughout the day, wireless connectivity means that you can go online or share files anytime by
connecting via your mobile phone or your laptop connected to the Internet.
Reduce cable clutter by synchronizing wirelessly. Imagine your desk and workstation without
cable clutter. Bluetooth wireless technology on your handheld replaces many of the connecting
cables with a wireless connection for tasks such as synchronizing.
Connect to other devices to share files wirelessly. Wouldn’t it be great if you could transfer f
iles
such as photos wirelessly or print wirelessly on a Bluetooth printer? Use the built-in Bluetooth
wireless technology to set up connections to devices within approximately 30 feet of your
handheld.

devices:
• To browse the Internet or access your email account, link through your desktop computer's
network connection or establish a connection to a Bluetooth LAN Access Point.
