Using the Bluetooth connection

Bluetooth can connect devices a short distance from one another, and is commonly used for connecting
peripheral devices to a computer, transferring data between hand-held devices and a personal computer, or
remotely controlling and communicating with devices such as mobile phones.

Depending on the model, your computer might support the Bluetooth feature. To transfer data through
the Bluetooth feature, do the following:

Note:

If you use the wireless feature (the 802.11 standards) of your computer simultaneously with a

Bluetooth option, the data transmission speed can be delayed and the performance of the wireless feature
can be degraded.
