Connecting a Bluetooth device to your notebook*
The Bluetooth wireless technology enables you to establish a wireless communication between your
notebook and other Bluetooth devices such as a notebook, a mobile phone or a modem station without
any cable within a 10 to 100 metres range in open space.
Bluetooth security*
The Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentification function which allows you to make sure with
whom you communicate. With the authentification function, you can avoid any anonymous Bluetooth
device to access your notebook.
The first time two Bluetooth devices communicate, a common Passkey should be determined for both
devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to reenter the Passkey.
You can change your settings in order not to be discovered by other Bluetooth devices or you can set a
limit. For more information, see the BlueSpace online help.
The 2.4 GHz band with which Bluetooth devices or wireless LAN devices work is used by various devices. Bluetooth devices use the technology
to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wavelength. However communication speed and distances can be inferior.
Interference from other devices may also stop communications.
! The Bluetooth functions may not work depending on the devices or the software version used.
! When you purchase Bluetooth devices, check their operating conditions.
* The Bluetooth availability depends on the model number and your country of residence.
