9.3 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
To beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and
contact cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
To synchronize information between your device and computer
via Bluetooth.
To use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled
hands-free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands­free phone conversations.
To use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device
or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.
To create a connection between your device and another
Bluetooth-enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other
Bluetooth-enabled devices, but cannot be detected by those devices.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither
send nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-
enabled devices can detect your device.
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and

Bluetooth Partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same Bluetooth passcode on both devices.
Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode on the two devices.
To create a Bluetooth partnership:
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.
2. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device
will search for other Bluetooth devices and display them in the box.
3. Tap a device name in the box.
4. Tap Next.
5. Enter a passcode to establish a secure connection. The
passcode can be from 1 to 16 characters long.
6. Tap Next.
Section 9: Getting Connected 75
7. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership.
The receiving party needs to enter the same passcode that you specified.
8. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You
may edit and enter a new name for that device.
9. Select the check boxes of services that you want to use
from the paired device.
10. Tap Finish.
To accept a Bluetooth partnership:
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with
the other device.
3. Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on
the device requesting the partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passcode must be from 1 to 16 characters long.

About the Screens and Menus
Windows Media Player has three primary screens:
Playback screen. The default screen that displays the
playback controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous, and Volume) and the video window.
Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now
Playing playlist. This special playlist indicates the current file being played and any files that are “queued up” to play next.
Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your
audio files, video files, and playlists. It contains categories such as My Music, My Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a Menu. The
commands on this menu vary, depending upon which screen you are viewing. For more information about the commands in these menus, see Help on your device.
About Licenses and Protected Files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use the desktop player to synchronize the file to your device (instead of dragging the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For more information about synchronizing files to your device and other mobile devices, see desktop player Help.
Note:
