devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that
devices can use to exchange information over a distance of about
8 meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headphones for
placing calls or listening to music, hands-free kits for cars, and other
portable devices, including laptops and cell phones.
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your phone’s
Bluetooth radio. The first time you use a new device with your phone,
you must “pair” them, so that they know how to connect securely to
each other. After that, you can simply connect to a paired device.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Bluetooth status.
