5.5 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 8 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:

• Beam information, such as ﬁles, appointments, tasks and contact

cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

• Synchronize information between your phone and computer via

Bluetooth.

• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect your phone to

another device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.

• Use your phone as a Bluetooth modem for a computer.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:

1. On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other

Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.

2. Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send

nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn off the radio at times to conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.

3. Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on and all other Bluetooth-

enabled devices within a range of 5 meters can detect your phone.

Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your

phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.

on Bluetooth.

Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your phone and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.

Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same personal identification number (PIN) on both devices, and this is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within 8 meters, and that Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.

96 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook

Individually sign and encrypt a message

Encrypting an Outlook email message protects the privacy of the message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.

Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the message is from you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that the message has not been altered.

To digitally sign and encrypt a new message

1. In the message list, select Outlook E-mail.

2. Click New.

3. Click Menu > Message Options.

4. In the Security ﬁeld, select the Encrypt message and Sign

message check boxes. Then click Done.

Verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive

To verify a digital signature in a message that you receive, do the following:

1. Open the Outlook email message that has been digitally signed.

2. At the top of the message, click View Signature Status.

Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 97

3. Click Menu > Check Certiﬁcate.

4. To view the details of the certiﬁcate in the message, click Menu >

View Certiﬁcate.

Note There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid.

For example, the sender’s certificate may have expired, it may have been revoked by the certificate authority or the server that verifies the certificate is unavailable. Contact the sender to report the problem.

Manage folders

Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. Folders for email accounts behave differently depending on the type of email account you have.

If you set up an Outlook E-mail account to sync with Exchange Server or a desktop PC, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your phone. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the email server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are away from your PC. You can only create and delete folders on devices when you are connected to an Exchange email server.

As with an Outlook account, if you set up an account to send and receive mail using an IMAP4 email server, all messages on the phone are copies of the messages on the server. The folders you create locally on the phone and the email messages you move to these folders are mirrored on the email server. Moving a message on the phone moves the copy on the server the next time you send and receive email for that account. Therefore, messages are available to you any time you connect to your email server, whether it is from your

98 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook

phone or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your email server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set different download options for each folder.

If you set up an account to send/receive mail using a POP3 email server, email messages you move to the Deleted Items folder on the phone will break the link between the messages on the phone and their copies on the email server. The next time you connect to send and receive mail, the email server will detect the messages that are in the Deleted Items folder on the phone and will delete those messages from the email server. All other messages in other folders remain on both the phone and the email server.

6.2 Using MMS Messages

Creating and sending Multimedia Message Service (MMS) messages to your friends and family is fun and easy. You can include or capture photos or video clips, include or record audio, add text, then send them along with your MMS message.

To access MMS
