Bluetooth Phone Manager
Use Bluetooth Phone Manager to connect the Travel Companion to a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone,
which allows data transfer between the two Bluetooth-enabled devices. To do this, create a Bluetooth
connection between the Travel Companion and the cell phone, and then send information to the phone
using Bluetooth. The phone relays the information over the phone line and then sends back to the Travel
Companion any information requested over the connection.
NOTE: Ensure both the Travel Companion and the cell phone are turned on, discoverable, and within
close range.
