Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can beam (exchange information) over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection. Unlike infrared, you don’t need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it’s within range.You can use Bluetooth as follows:
Tip
Your device might include additional Bluetooth features. For more information, see the documentation included with your device.

Bluetooth

Turn on and off Bluetooth
Ensure that the two devices are within close range and that both Bluetooth-enabled devices are discoverable.

Note
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth turns on automatically.

Create a Bluetooth partnership
You can create a partnership between your device and another device that has Bluetooth capabilities. Once you do this, the devices must have Bluetooth turned on but don’t need to be discoverable for you to beam information between the two devices.

Note
When you turn on flight mode, Bluetooth is turned off.

Rename a Bluetooth partnership
You can give a more meaningful name to a Bluetooth partnership to help you recognize it when selecting from a list of partnerships.

Make a device discoverable
Other devices with Bluetooth capabilities can detect your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a partnership, or use a Bluetooth service.
Other Bluetooth-enabled devices can now detect your phone and attempt to beam information to it, establish a Bluetooth partnership, or use a Bluetooth service.

Receive a Bluetooth beam
Your device will not detect and notify you of incoming infrared (IR) and Bluetooth beams unless you set it up to do this.

Set up a Bluetooth headset
You can use a Bluetooth headset (or other Bluetooth hands-free device) with your device when you create a partnership between your device and the Bluetooth headset.

Use a Bluetooth phone as a modem
If your device has no integrated phone capability, you can use another phone that has Bluetooth as a modem for your device to browse the Internet or to transfer other information. To do this, you create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and then send information to the phone by using Bluetooth. The phone relays the information over the phone line and then sends back to your device any information that you had requested over the connection.Once a modem connection is created, it can be reused.

Note
Ensure that your device and the phone are turned on, discoverable, and within close range.
