Bluetooth is Bluetooth is a wireless technology for exchanging data over short distances. The chip can be plugged into computers, digital cameras and mobile phones. Find out more about Bluetooth in this short guide.
Every manufacturer of compatible devices will have their own instructions for accessing Bluetooth. For detailed instructions you will need to see the manual, but as a general guide:
To set up Bluetooth:
1. Turn on, or enable, Bluetooth.
2. Ensure your device is ‘visible’ and not ‘hidden’, so other nearby devices can pick up the signal.
3. Give your device a name to identify it when connecting to other compatible equipment.
To establish a Bluetooth connection:
1. Find the file you wish to send.
2. Select the option to send it via Bluetooth - your device will search for other devices within range and display them.
3. Scroll to the device you wish to connect with and select it.
4. If the other device needs ‘pairing’, you will need to enter a passcode – a bit like a PIN number - and make sure it is entered on the other device.
When the connection is established, the data will start to send. You do not need to worry about a clear line of sight between devices.http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/guides/about-bluetooth
