Look Mom: No Wires!

• What is Bluetooth technology?

• Put simply, Bluetooth technology is a short-range wireless radio technology that allows electronic devices to connect to one another.

• Generally, Bluetooth has a range of up to 30 ft. or greater, depending on the Bluetooth Core Specification Version.

• Newer devices, using newer versions of Bluetooth, have ranges over 100 ft.

• Bluetooth wireless technology makes connections just like cables connect a computer to a keyboard, mouse, or printer, or how a wire connects an MP3 player to headphones.

• Bluetooth technology makes these same connections, except it does it without the cables and wires.

• With Bluetooth there is no more worrying about which cable goes where, while getting tangled in the mess.

What is Bluetooth?• Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to

wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances.

• The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Herald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago. He brought two different communities together to talk, successfully.

• Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets.

• The wireless signals transmitted in Bluetooth reach over short distances, typically 30 to 40 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth devices generally communicate at less than 1 Mbps.

• Bluetooth networks feature a dynamic topology called a piconet or PAN. Piconets contain a minimum of two and a maximum of eight Bluetooth peer devices. Devices communicate using protocols that are part of the Bluetooth Specification.

• Although the Bluetooth standard utilizes the same 2.4 Ghz range as 802.11b and 802.11g, Bluetooth technology is not a suitable Wi-Fi replacement. Compared to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth networking is much slower, a bit more limited in range, and supports many fewer devices.

How to: Pairing and Using a Bluetooth Headset

Pairing• All Bluetooth devices require what is referred to as

“Pairing” before they are able to be used

• Pairing is a mode that must be selected on a headset or speakerphone to allow your phone to connect to it and use any available functions

• Putting a headset or speakerphone in pairing mode is usually a very simple, process, however, it is different for each type of headset

• You can find out how to put a device in pairing mode by consulting the manual or do a “google” search for “pairing with (model number of device)

• Once a device is successfully paired and connected, it will automatically connect itself when it is powered on
