Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth
wireless technology enables short-range (about 10 m) communication, including voice, audio, and
data transfer, between
Bluetooth
-compatible devices such as phones, hands-free accessories, and
computers.
Bluetooth
wireless technology allows you to take advantage of a wide variety of features. For example, you
can connect a compatible headset and talk on the phone or listen to music, or connect to your car stereo
and listen to music and other content stored on your phone through your car stereo and enjoy hands-free
phone conversations in the car. You can also use
Bluetooth
wireless technology to send and receive data
such as pictures, videos, and contacts with another
Bluetooth
device.
Bluetooth settings
In order to use your phone with another
Bluetooth
device, you must first register your phone and the other
device to each other. This is called “pairing”. In order to pair with each other, your phone and the other
device must be able to find each other using
Bluetooth
wireless technology. This is done by making your
phone “discoverable” by the other device, or vice versa.
