5.5 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Phones 

with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance 

of about 30 feet without requiring a physical connection. You can even 

beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the 

Bluetooth signal coverage range. 

Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:

•

  Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact 

cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

•

  Synchronize information between your phone and computer via 

Bluetooth.

•

  Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled 

hands-free device such as a car kit) with your phone for hands-free 

phone conversations. A Bluetooth stereo headset can also be used for 

listening to music.

•

  Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect your phone to another 

device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of 

the services available on that device.

•

  Use your phone as a Bluetooth modem for a computer.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

1. 

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-

enabled devices, but not vice versa.
