Using Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth® to connect to accessory devices or other computers. The devices
can communicate with each other when they are in range. For more information, see
“Bluetooth wireless” on page 16.
Enabling or disabling Bluetooth
Before you can set up a Bluetooth device, you must enable the Bluetooth adapter on the
tablet. After you enable Bluetooth, the Bluetooth icon (
) appears in the notification area.
You can tap on this icon to get shortcuts to the Bluetooth Settings window, the Bluetooth
File Transfer Wizard, and the Add New Connection Wizard.
Note:
Wireless cards consume battery power. To reduce power consumption when running
on battery power and when Bluetooth is not being used, disable Bluetooth in the Motion
Dashboard.

After you enable Bluetooth, the Bluetooth adapter tries to discover other Bluetooth devices
within range. When a Bluetooth device is discoverable, it is visible to other Bluetooth
devices in range. For information about making a device discoverable, see the device’s
documentation.

the device is paired with the system, a passkey is used to create a secure connection

technology should not be considered completely secure.
