Getting Connected
6.3 Using Bluetooth

capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters without requiring
a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as
long as it is within range.
The software included with your XV6700 allows you to use Bluetooth to beam information
between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities, such as files, appointments, tasks, and
contact cards.

• On . Bluetooth is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features.
• Off . Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information
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 onboard an aircraft and in
hospitals.
