Note  If the Bluetooth adapter or dongle on your computer was installed 

using a third-party provided driver, open the Bluetooth software that 
came with the Bluetooth adapter/dongle to connect your computer 
and device via Bluetooth. Refer to the Bluetooth adapter/dongle 
documentation for more information.

On the Internet Sharing screen on your device, check if a connected 
status message is displayed, which indicates that your computer has 
been successfully connected to the Internet using your device as a 
Bluetooth modem.

On the Internet Sharing screen, tap Disconnect.

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices 
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of 
about eight meters without requiring a physical connection.

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.

Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled 
devices can detect your device.

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor 
receive information using Bluetooth.

Notes 

•  By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your 

device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, 
Bluetooth automatically turns on.

•  Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places 

where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft 
and in hospitals.
