> Bluetooth Modes

> Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.

> Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

> | On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.

> | Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.

> | Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.

> Notes |
