Using the Bluetooth Function
Some features and options in this section may not be available on your computer.
See the specifications to find out about the configuration of your computer.
You can establish wireless communications between your computer and other Bluetooth
®
devices such as another computer
or a mobile phone. You can transfer data between these devices without cables at a range of up to 33 feet / 10 meters in an
open area.
Bluetooth Security
The Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to determine with whom you choose to
communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any anonymous Bluetooth devices from accessing your
computer.
The first time two Bluetooth devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should be
determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passkey.
✍
The passkey can be different each time, but must be the same at both ends.
For certain devices, such as a mouse, no passkey can be entered.
