Section 12: Bluetooth Topics Covered • About Bluetooth • Bluetooth Modes • Turning Bluetooth On/Off • Making Your 830 Discoverable • Bluetooth Bonds • Beaming Using Bluetooth • Bluetooth Profiles This section explains theBluetooth feature available with your phone, as well as the types of connections and how information is shared between compatible devices. Section 12: Bluetooth...
About Bluetooth Bluetooth is a short‐range wireless communications technology capable of exchanging information over a distance of about 30 feet without requiring a physical connection. Unlike infrared, you don’t need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. If the devices are within a range of one another, you can exchange information between them,even if they are located in different rooms. Your Pocket PC allows you to beam files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities or you can create a dial‐up connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem. Bluetooth Modes Bluetooth operates in two modes: On/Off Mode When the Bluetooth radio is turned on, you can use the Bluetooth features available in the i830. When the Bluetooth radio is turned off, you cannot send or receive information via Bluetooth. To save battery life or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as airline traveling, you can turn off Bluetooth in your i830. Discoverable The Discoverable mode is when Bluetooth is set to on in your i830, and all other Bluetooth devices are within range and can detect your device and beam information to it, establish a bond to your phone, or use another Bluetooth service. Section 12: Bluetooth In this mode, other devices can detect your i830, even if a bond hasn’t been established; however, to receive a beam from another device, you must accept the incoming beam on your i830. See Receiving a Blueto oth Be am fo r more inform ation. Turning Bluetooth On/Off 1.
Bluetooth Bonds A bond is a relationship that you create between your Pocket PC and another Bluetooth device to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a bond involves entering the same PIN on the two devices sharing a bond. Once a bond is created between devices, the devices do not have to be discoverable to exchange information; however, each device must have its Bluetooth radio on. Bonds are created only once between devices. Once a bond is created, devices can exchange information as soon the bond is recognized, eliminating the need to discover one another or to enter security features like a common PIN. Beaming Using Bluetooth It is possible to exchange information using Bluetooth instead of infrared beaming, eliminating the need for the devices sharing information to be within ʺline‐of‐siteʺ of each other. Section 12: Bluetooth...

Health and safety information Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Page 59
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Precautions when using batteries • Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way. • Use the battery only for its intended purpose. • If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.
Operating environment Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions.
Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Posted facilities Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both. Care and maintenance Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated. • Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified accessories may damage the phone and violate regulations governing radio devices.
