6.3 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows
Bluetooth devices to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters
without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your phone.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your phone,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn on Bluetooth and make the phone discoverable
Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings.
Touch Wireless controls, then select the Bluetooth check box to turn on
Bluetooth. When on, the Bluetooth ( ) icon appears in the status bar.
Touch Bluetooth settings, then select the Discoverable check box to make
the phone discoverable to other Bluetooth devices that are within range.
Important Your phone will be discoverable for up to two minutes.
