Select Menu > Connect. > Bluetooth.
Note: There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth devices in
some locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.
Bluetooth technology enables cost-free wireless
connections between electronic devices within a
maximum range of 30 feet (10 meters). A Bluetooth
connection can be used to send images, videos, texts,
business cards, and calendar notes, or it can be used
to connect wirelessly to devices supporting the same
Bluetooth protocols, such as computers.
Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate
using radio waves, your phone 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 30 feet
(10 meters) of each other, although the connection
can be subject to interference from obstructions such
as walls or from other electronic devices. Using a
Bluetooth connection consumes the battery, and
the phone operating time will be reduced.
When you activate a Bluetooth connection for the first time, you are asked to give
a name to your phone.
