Introduction Thank you very much for selecting the Bluetooth Utility. This Help facility will show you how to use the Bluetooth Utility for configuring Bluetooth devices and how it can be used in other convenient ways. We hope that the Help facility will enable you to be able to make full use of the Bluetooth Utility.
Trademarks • • • • • • • Research and development on and the formulation of a Bluetooth™ standard is being conducted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which is operated by TOSHIBA, Ericsson, Nokia, Intel, IBM, 3Com, Lucent Technologies, Microsoft and Motorola. Currently over 1,800 prominent telecommunications and computing companies are participating in the Bluetooth SIG. Please refer to http://www.bluetooth.com/ for more information about the Bluetooth SIG.
What is Bluetooth? Bluetooth is a global standard telecommunications method that enables data to be exchanged wirelessly between personal computers, peripheral components, mobile telephones and other electronic devices. Data can be readily exchanged between Bluetooth devices if they have been registered as components able to communicate with each other. A maximum of seven Bluetooth devices may be connected together.
What you need to know about using Bluetooth Bluetooth exchanges data using radio waves. The following points are critical in order to configure and use Bluetooth devices correctly.
Note • • PCs have a communication distance restriction of ten meters. Please refer to the instruction manuals for information on the communication distance restrictions specific to each device. Communication interference may occur if any obstructions are located between the devices. Devices may not communicate properly if they have been located, for example, on the ground and first floors of a residence, despite their being within the acceptable distance.
Using PCs with Bluetooth built in Communication will be impossible if the wireless communication switch on the PC has been turned off. Please turn this switch on when using Bluetooth. Note • Please refer to your PC instruction manual for further details.
When using a Bluetooth USB adapter or SD card If the Bluetooth USB adapter or SD card has not been properly inserted into the device, poor contact or other problems between the two may prevent devices from properly communicating. Please ensure that the card has been securely inserted into the slot. Note • Battery-operated devices may not be able to communicate properly if the battery level is low.
Varieties of Bluetooth devices you can use It is important to understand the concepts of "services" and "profiles" in order to determine whether an intended function can be properly utilized when you use a Bluetooth device. What is a "profile"? Examples of Bluetooth devices include mice and keyboards (input devices), printers (output devices) and wireless modems (communication devices). Functions that can be utilized by such devices are called "services.
In the above example, the traveller and his/her counterpart correspond to the devices, the languages to the profiles, and the dialogues between the two people to the services. The former example refers to a situation where a service can be performed because the devices support a common profile, whereas the latter example refers to a situation where a service cannot be performed because a common profile is not supported.
HCRP Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile Enables printing with a printer driver. FTP File Transfer Profile Enables you to browse folders on a wireless device and transfer files to and from the local device. OPP Object Push Profile Allows business card data to be exchanged with a wireless device. A2DP Advanced Audio Distribution Profile Allows audio data to be exchanged between wireless headsets and other audio devices, as well as allowing high-quality music playback.
Contents of the Bluetooth Utility The Bluetooth Utility is a software tool used to configure a variety of settings once a connection has been established between the PC and the Bluetooth device. It also facilitates the exchange of files between Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth Utility comprises the following six tools. Descriptions are provided for the functions and the supported profiles for the respective tools.
Bluetooth Manager This program, which appears as a Taskbar icon, monitors and controls the power and operating status of Bluetooth devices. It can be used to start the Bluetooth Setup Utility, add a new connection, disconnect from a remote device, and perform other tasks.
Related topics "Exchanging files with PCs and PDAs" "Sending images to mobile telephones" "Sending images to PCs or PDAs" "Exchanging business card data with PCs and PDAs" Remote Camera Connecting to a Bluetooth-compatible digital camera allows the device to be operated from the PC side, and captured images to be sent to the PC.
Related topics "Using a Bluetooth-compatible camera" Bluetooth Local COM This program, which is registered in the Control Panel, can create a virtual COM port for use with the Bluetooth Utility. If you need to create a client COM port with the Bluetooth Setup Utility, it can be created automatically without having to start the program.
You can send a file wirelessly to another device by right-clicking on the intended file and using the "Sending to Bluetooth Device" menu that appears.
