Working with Bluetooth
All units have embedded Bluetooth capability—a short-range
wireless communication technology that exchanges information
over a distance of up to 30 feet (10 meters), without requiring a
physical connection.
Bluetooth settings: tap Start / Settings / Connections / Bluetooth.
Mode: To enable Bluetooth, select the check box Turn on
Bluetooth. If you want other Bluetooth devices to find your
unit, also select the check box Make this device visible to
other devices.
Devices: Tap Add new device to search for other Bluetooth
devices. For enhanced security, use passcodes.
COM Ports: Available only for Bluetooth-connected devices that
support serial (COM) connections.
Power: Maintain Bluetooth connections when device is turned
off. When this check box is selected, Bluetooth connections on
your unit are not terminated when your unit is turned off
(suspended). When the unit is turned back on, the Bluetooth
connections are intact, provided the other Bluetooth device is
still connected. (The other device may not have this feature and
may disconnect.) NOTE: Communication cannot occur with
other Bluetooth devices while your unit is suspended.
Power: Allow Bluetooth activity to turn the device on. When this
check box is selected, another Bluetooth device can send data
and your unit will turn on and reply if necessary. NOTE: It is
recommended that your unit be configured to automatically
turn off when not in use. (See the Power section on page 20.)
Otherwise, another Bluetooth device could turn on your unit,
transfer data and if it does not turn off again, drain the battery.
Creating a Bluetooth Partnership: Bluetooth partnerships are
required for connections to some PC’s, printers, and headphones.
Configuring Bluetooth connections vary depending upon how each
Bluetooth device works. Refer to all device documentation.
1. Tap Start / Settings / Connections / Bluetooth / Mode. Ensure
that both devices have Bluetooth turned on in the Mode area,
are visible and within close range.
2. Tap Devices / Add new device… Wait a few moments while
your unit searches for Bluetooth devices.
