Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can 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. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10 meters. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it within range. Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 software allows you to use Bluetooth in the following ways: • Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. For example, if you and a co-worker each have a device with Bluetooth, you can beam items between your devices, such as files, contact cards, appointments, tasks, and so forth. • Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem. Your device might include additional Bluetooth features. For more information, see the documentation included with your device. About Bluetooth Modes Bluetooth operates in three different modes: 26 • On. The Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features. • Off. The Bluetooth radio is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information by using Bluetooth. You might want to turn the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as on airplanes and in hospitals. • Discoverable. The Bluetooth radio is turned on, and all of the other Bluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can detect your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. In this mode, other devices can detect your device whether or not a bond has been created; however, in order to receive a beam from another device, you must accept it on your device, as described in Receiving a Bluetooth Beam. For more information about changing the Bluetooth mode, see Turning On and Off Bluetooth and Making Your Device Discoverable. About Bonds A bond is a relationship that you create between your Pocket PC and another Bluetooth device in order to help exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a bond involves entering the same PIN on the two devices you want to bond. Once a bond is created, the devices need only have their Bluetooth radios turned on to exchange information; they do not need to be in discoverable mode. For instructions on creating a bond, see Create a Bond. For more information about modes, see About Bluetooth Modes. You need only create a bond once between two devices. Thereafter, they recognize the bond and are able to exchange information without your entering a PIN again. For more information about exchanging information with other devices, see Beaming Information With Bluetooth and Receiving a Bluetooth Beam. Turning On and Off Bluetooth 1. Tap > Settings > Connections tab. 2. Tap Bluetooth. 3. Select On or Off. 27 The Bluetooth radio is turned on or off according to your selection. By default the Bluetooth radio is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your device, the Bluetooth radio also turns off. When you turn on your device again, the Bluetooth radio turns on automatically. Making Your Device Discoverable 1. Tap > Settings > Connections tab. 2. Tap Bluetooth. 3. Select Discoverable. Other Bluetooth devices can now detect your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. Note that to receive beamed information, you must accept 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 the radio or On to leave the radio on, but not allow detection by other devices. Beaming Information with Bluetooth 1.
