Bluetooth technology enables wireless connections
between electronic devices within a range of 10 meters
(33 feet). A Bluetooth connection can be used to send
images, videos, text, business cards, calendar notes, or
to connect wirelessly to devices using Bluetooth
technology, such as computers.
Since devices using Bluetooth technology
communicate using radio waves, your device and the
other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-sight.
The two devices only need to be within a maximum of
10 meters of each other, although the connection can
be subject to interference from obstructions such as
walls or other electronic devices.
Several Bluetooth connections can be active at a time.
For example, if your device is connected to a headset,
you can also transfer files to another compatible device
at the same time.

reduce the battery life.
