CHAPTER
NOTE When a DUN connection is active,
you cannot use data services on your
smartphone. For example, you cannot
browse the Web, or send or receive email
messages. Also, any scheduled automatic
email retrievals do not take place.
Receiving or sending phone calls suspends
the DUN session. The session resumes
when the call is ended.
Terminating a Bluetooth DUN Internet
session
It is important to end a Bluetooth DUN
session after you finish using it. Ending the
DUN session lets you use the wireless
features of your smartphone that require a
data connection, it frees up the Bluetooth
feature so that you can connect to other
Bluetooth devices, and it optimizes battery
life, too.
1 On your computer, right-click the icon or
option representing your smartphone.
2 Click Disconnect.
Connecting with
Bluetooth
®
devices
With the built-in Bluetooth wireless
technology on your smartphone, you can
connect to a number of Bluetooth devices,
including a hands-free device such as a
headset or car kit, a printer, or a GPS
receiver, as well as to other smartphones
and handhelds that are equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology. If your
computer is enabled with Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can also
synchronize wirelessly or use your phone
to connect your computer to the Internet.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices
that you trust to communicate with your
smartphone. When communicating with
trusted devices, your smartphone skips the
discovery process and creates a secure link
as long as the device is within range.
Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet
(10 meters), depending on environmental
conditions, including obstacles, radio
interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
