10.8 Bluetooth<br />
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices<br />
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of<br />
about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.<br />
Bluetooth modes<br />
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:<br />
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetoothenabled<br />
devices, but not vice versa.<br />
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled<br />
devices can detect your device.<br />
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor<br />
receive information using Bluetooth.<br />
Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your<br />
device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again,<br />
Bluetooth automatically turns on.<br />
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places<br />
where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft<br />
and in hospitals.<br />
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible<br />
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab ><br />
Bluetooth > Mode tab.
