Using the Bluetooth Feature
Your computer incorporates the Bluetooth 4.0 capability for short-range
(about 50 meters) wireless communications between devices without
requiring a cable connection. With Bluetooth, data can be transmitted
through walls, pockets and briefcases as long as two devices are within
range.
