What is Bluetooth®? Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices to communicate with each other using short-range radio frequency instead of wires. Any two Bluetooth devices can communicate as long as they both have Bluetooth turned on, they are within range and they have been paired — a quick “handshake” process that connects the two devices. Bluetooth range is up to 33 feet (10 meters).
