Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off

mobile computer can not be seen or connected to by other Bluetooth devices. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information
with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
To achieve the best battery life in mobile computers with multiple radios, turn off the radios that are not being
used.
