What Is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth
is a type of radio communication. Bluetooth
devices
can find
and communicate with each other without using any wires.
Bluetooth
devices
(such as Bluetooth Phone Modules and
speakerphones) communicate through a common link that the two
devices share.
A Bluetooth device can
seek
which ones are open. An
Bluetooth device can then
other Bluetooth devices and determine
open
device is one that is awaiting a link. A
link
—establish an active connection—to
the device and begin exchanging voice signals or other data with it.

Bluetooth
Bond Failed:
List Full
Check to make sure that the Bluetooth module is
attached and connected correctly. This error
appears if the module was attached but became
loose or unattached.
Your phone may display this error when you try to
establish a bond connection between your
module and another device.
The reason for this error is that your module uses
a small amount of memory to establish
connections. If your device list is full, your module
does not have enough memory to use.
To resolve the error, delete one or more items
from your device list (refer to “Deleting a Device
in Your Device List” on page 21). Then try the
connection again from the beginning.
