Using your VAIO computer
Bluetooth security
The Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to control with whom you communicate. With
the authentication function, you can avoid any anonymous Bluetooth devices accessing your notebook.
The first time two Bluetooth devices communicate, a common Passkey (a password required for authentication) should be
determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to reenter the Passkey.
You can change your settings in order not to be discovered by other Bluetooth devices or you can set a limit.
Communicating with another Bluetooth device
You can transfer data to and from other Bluetooth devices such as another notebook, a mobile phone or a modem station without
using cables.
To communicate with another Bluetooth device, proceed as follows:
1 Turn on the Wireless switch.
2 Choose Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Bluetooth Devices.
The Bluetooth Device dialog appears.
3 Click Add.
The Add Bluetooth Device Wizard appears.
4 Select the check box My device is set up and ready to be found and then click Next.
5 Select the remote device you want to connect to. If necessary, scroll up and down in the Bluetooth Device List to make your
selection. Then click Next.
