Connecting to Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that devices can
use to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters. The most
common Bluetooth devices are headphones, for making calls or listening to music,
hands-free kits for cars, and other portable devices, including laptops and cell
phones.
There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the features and communications
standards for Bluetooth devices. For a list of the profiles supported by your phone,
see “Specifications” on page 279.
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your phone’s Bluetooth radio.
Then the first time you use a new device with your phone, you must “pair” them, so
they know how to connect securely to each other. Subsequently, you can simply
connect to a paired device.
Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery. You
may also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some locations, such as hospitals or
airplanes. Bluetooth is turned off in Airplane mode.
