CHAPTER 14
Connecting Wirelessly to Other Devices
What can I do with the built-in Bluetooth technology?
Connect to your Bluetooth phone to send text or email messages or to access the web.
Whether you access the Internet or your email account, or send text messages, once a week or 
constantly throughout the day, wireless connectivity means that you can go online or share files 
anytime by connecting via your mobile phone or your laptop connected to the Internet. 
Reduce cable clutter by synchronizing wirelessly.
Imagine your desk and workstation without 
cable clutter. Bluetooth technology on your handheld replaces many of the connecting cables with 
a wireless connection for tasks such as synchronizing your handheld with your computer. 
Connect to other devices, such as cameras and other handhelds, to share files wirelessly.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could send files such as photos to another handheld? Use the built-in 
Bluetooth technology to set up connections to devices within approximately 30 feet of your 
handheld.
What types of connections can I make?
With Bluetooth technology, you can make the following connections:
• Connect to your computer wirelessly to synchronize your handheld.
• Access the Internet or an email account using your mobile phone. In order to use a mobile 
phone, you must dial your ISP or sign up for an account with a high-speed wireless carrier.
• Send and receive text messages using your mobile phone.
• Share files by forming a trusted pair with a Bluetooth device, such as a camera, handheld, or 
printer.
• Browse the Internet or access your email account by linking through your desktop computer's 
network connection or establishing a connection to a Bluetooth LAN Access Point.
