If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can also
synchronise wirelessly or use your phone
as a wireless modem.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices
that you trust to communicate with your
smartphone. When communicating with
trusted devices, your smartphone skips the
discovery process and creates a secure link
as long as the device is within range.
Bluetooth range is up to
9 meters in ideal
conditions. Performance and range are
affected by physical obstacles, radio
interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
When you configure a headset (see
