Using the Bluetooth Function
You can establish wireless communications between your computer and other Bluetooth
®
 devices such as another computer 
or a mobile phone. You can transfer data between these devices without cables at a range of up to 33 feet / 10 meters in an 
open area.
Bluetooth Security
The Bluetooth wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to determine with whom you choose to 
communicate. With the authentication function, you can prevent any anonymous Bluetooth devices from accessing your 
computer.
The first time two Bluetooth devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should be 
determined for both devices to be registered. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passkey.
The passkey can be different each time, but must be the same at both ends.
For certain devices, such as a mouse, no passkey can be entered.
