Making Wireless Bluetooth Connections
To send or receive files using Bluetooth
If your computer includes Bluetooth wireless capabilities, it supports the following
common protocols for transferring data. To use either protocol, both computers must
support that protocol—check the other computer’s Bluetooth documentation.
• FTP, meaning files can be copied into and out of shared directories (folders) by both
computers. This service is equivalent to common network file sharing.
• OPP (object push profile), meaning both computers can send certain types of
Microsoft Outlook data to the other computer’s Bluetooth inbox, but cannot retrieve
files from the other computer.
Sharing files with another Bluetooth device (FTP)
1. Double-click the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.
2. In My Bluetooth Places, select and open the other device to view files in its shared
directory.
3. Use Windows Explorer or other software to copy or move files between your
computer and other device.
Sending Outlook data to another Bluetooth device (OPP)
1. Double-click the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.
2. In My Bluetooth Places, select and open the other device.
3. To send a calendar item, note, or message, right-click the device’s inbox and select
the option you want, then select the file to send. The file arrives in the device’s inbox
directory.

To send your business card, right-click the device’s inbox and select the option to
