120 Getting Connected
6.5 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with
Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of about 10
metres without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information
to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the Bluetooth signal
coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:

Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards,
between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

Synchronise information between your Ameo and computer via Bluetooth.

Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-free
device such as a car kit) with your Ameo for hands-free phone conversations.

Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or computer
using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that
device.

Create a connection between your Ameo and another Bluetooth-enabled
phone to use that phone as a modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC device
has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your Ameo operates in three different modes:

On . Bluetooth is turned on. Your Ameo can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.

Off . Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn Bluetooth off at times
in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where using a wireless
device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.

Visible . Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your Ameo.
