CHAPTER 3
Connecting with Other Devices
This chapter describes the steps needed to connect your handheld with other
devices equipped with Bluetooth technology.
Discovery
Discovery is the process of finding other devices equipped with Bluetooth
technology within range of your handheld. The discovery process includes the
following:
■
Sending a request to discover devices equipped with Bluetooth technology
within range
■
Selecting devices with which you wish your handheld to connect
The discovery process is typically initiated by an application included with the
Bluetooth Card. For example, when you connect your handheld with a mobile
phone using the Bluetooth application, the application gives you the option of
discovering phones equipped with Bluetooth technology within range in order to
make a connection with one of these phones.
Many applications enable you to create a trusted pair with a device. Once you
create a trusted pair with a device, you can connect with it directly without going
through the discovery process. Information on creating trusted pairs is found in
the procedures described later in this chapter.
NOTE
Bluetooth technology must be set to “on” in order for the discovery process
to work. By default, Bluetooth technology is on. See
“Connecting using the Bluetooth
later in this chapter for how to turn Bluetooth technology off and on.
