26About BluetoothBluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices withBluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection.Unlike infrared, you don’t need to line up the devices to beaminformation with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a rangeof about 10 meters. You can even beam information to a device in adifferent room, as long as it within range.Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 software allows you to use Bluetooth in thefollowing ways:• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards,between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. For example, if youand a co-worker each have a device with Bluetooth, you can beam itemsbetween your devices, such as files, contact cards, appointments, tasks,and so forth.• Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and aBluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem.Your device might include additional Bluetooth features. For moreinformation, see the documentation included with your device. About Bluetooth ModesBluetooth operates in three different modes:• On. The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use Bluetoothfeatures.• Off. The Bluetooth radio is turned off. In this mode, you can neithersend nor receive information by using Bluetooth. You might want toturn the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
27situations where radio use is prohibited, such as on airplanes and inhospitals.• Discoverable. The Bluetooth radio is turned on, and all of the otherBluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can detect yourdevice and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use aBluetooth service. In this mode, other devices can detect your devicewhether or not a bond has been created; however, in order to receive abeam from another device, you must accept it on your device, asdescribed in Receiving a Bluetooth Beam.For more information about changing the Bluetooth mode, see TurningOn and Off Bluetooth and Making Your Device Discoverable. About BondsA bond is a relationship that you create between your Pocket PC andanother Bluetooth device in order to help exchange information in asecure manner. Creating a bond involves entering the same PIN on thetwo devices you want to bond. Once a bond is created, the devices needonly have their Bluetooth radios turned on to exchange information; theydo not need to be in discoverable mode. For instructions on creating abond, see Create a Bond. For more information about modes, see AboutBluetooth Modes.You need only create a bond once between two devices. Thereafter, theyrecognize the bond and are able to exchange information without yourentering a PIN again. For more information about exchanginginformation with other devices, see Beaming Information With Bluetoothand Receiving a Bluetooth Beam. Turning On and Off Bluetooth1. Tap > Settings > Connections tab.2. Tap Bluetooth.3. Select On or Off.
28The Bluetooth radio is turned on or off according to yourselection.By default the Bluetooth radio is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turnoff your device, the Bluetooth radio also turns off. When you turn on yourdevice again, the Bluetooth radio turns on automatically.Making Your Device Discoverable1. Tap > Settings > Connections tab.2. Tap Bluetooth.3. Select Discoverable.Other Bluetooth devices can now detect your device and attemptto beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetoothservice. Note that to receive beamed information, you mustaccept it on your device.Selecting Discoverable also turns on your Bluetooth radio.If you no longer want your device to be discoverable, tap Off to turn off theradio or On to leave the radio on, but not allow detection by other devices. Beaming Information with Bluetooth1. Tap and hold an item to beam, such as an appointment in Calendar, atask in Tasks, a contact card in Contacts, or a file in File Manager.2. Tap Beam [type of item].3. Tap the device to which you want to send the beam.The item is beamed to the device you selected.
29If the device that you want to beam to doesn't appear in the list, make surethat it is turned on, in discoverable mode, and within 10 meters (30 feet) ofyour device. Also, make sure that your Bluetooth radio is turned on. Receiving a Bluetooth Beam1. Make sure that your device is configured to receive incoming beams.2. Make sure that your device is within 10 meters (about 30 feet) of thedevice beaming the information and that Bluetooth is in discoverablemode.3. When prompted to receive an incoming beam, tap Yes.The information is received on your device.Using a Bluetooth Phone as a ModemYou can use a phone that has Bluetooth capabilities as a modem for your device.To do this, you create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and thensend information to the phone by using Bluetooth. The phone relays theinformation over the phone line and then sends back to your device anyinformation that you had requested over the connection.Once you create a modem connection to the Bluetooth phone, you canreuse it whenever you want to use the phone as a modem.1. Make sure that the Bluetooth phone is turned on, that your device's andthe phone's Bluetooth radios are turned on, and that your device and thephone are within 10 meters (30 feet) of one another.2. If you have not already done so, create a Bluetooth phone connection byfollowing steps 3 through 16. Otherwise, skip to step 17.3. Tap > Settings > Connections tab.4. Tap Connections > Add a new modem connection.5. Enter a name for the connection.
306. In the Select a modem list, tap Bluetooth > Next.7. Make sure that the phone is discoverable. Some phones may also needto be pairable in order to accept a bonding request. For moreinformation, see your phone documentation.8. If the phone appears in the My Connections list, skip to step 14. If not,tap New and follow the remaining steps.9. In the list, tap the phone and then Next.10. In PIN, enter a PIN of between 1 and 16 characters, and tap Next.11. Enter the same PIN on the phone.12.
