future with stable, secure, and wire-free connections between
personal devices.
- With so many gadgets needed to conduct business and keep
in touch with family and friends these days, Bluetooth technology
allows different devices such as a cell phone, headset PC,

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a standard way for small devices (e.g. cell phones,
PDA's, laptops, PCs, headsets, car-kits) to connect with each
other. In essence it is a way to replace cables or wires. (In
the same way that "wi-fi" is a replacement for your PC network
cable). Because most of the major cell phone manufacturers have
implemented it in some of their products, it has achieved widespread
acceptance and adoption.
What do I have to do to get a Bluetooth headset or car-kit
to work with my phone?
Very little! Every phone has its variations, but the concepts
are the same and are pretty simple. First of all you have to
turn on Bluetooth which is usually done in the "connectivity"
menu on the phone. Then you have to tell your phone and the
Bluetooth headset or car-kit it is OK to connect with each other
which is usually accomplished by "pairing" the two devices.
Once that is done you can easily ask "paired" devices to connect.
For many phones this is a one-time exercise - Bluetooth will
remain "on" and every time you are within range of one of your
own "paired" Bluetooth headsets or car-kit they will connect. |
