9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about eight meters (6 feet) without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.
Note  Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible1. Tap Start > Settings > Bluetooth.
2. When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
3. Tap the Settings tab (  ), and then tap Not Discoverable.

Tip  To easily switch Bluetooth off or back on, tap Start > Settings > Communications to open the Comm Manager and then tap Bluetooth’s OFF/ON slider.Your device remembers whether visible mode was previously enabled or disabled. If you did not disable visible mode, switching Bluetooth on in the Comm Manager also puts your device in visible mode automatically. For more information about using the Comm Manager, see Chapter 1.
