BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY > WHAT IS BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY? CHAPTER 8: USING BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY What is Bluetooth Wireless Technology? Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio signals to send and receive information quickly and securely from many different types of devices, including computers, phones, and printers. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, you can synchronize your iQue M5 with your personal computer, exchange or print files, connect to a network, or browse the Internet. To communicate, devices with Bluetooth technology do not have to be in the same room, but they must be within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other. About BTExplorer BTExplorer is the software on your iQue M5 that helps you connect to other devices with Bluetooth technology. BTExplorer has two modes: Wizard mode (the default setting) and Explorer mode. Both modes allow you to create and maintain connections with other devices, but Wizard mode is designed to simplify this process. Using either mode, you can view and connect to "services" on other devices with Bluetooth technology. (A service is a type of Bluetooth wireless connection, like a serial port connection or a network connection.) After you create a connection, you can save it as a favorite, much like you would save favorites in your Web browser. Then you can use your favorites to connect to devices quickly and easily. NOTE: You can only connect to devices that offer services compatible with your iQue M5. If a device does not offer a service that your iQue M5 can use, the devices will not connect to each other. Enabling BTExplorer Before you can use Bluetooth wireless technology, you must turn on the Bluetooth wireless transmitter and open BTExplorer. You can do this easily from the icon on the Today screen. To enable the Bluetooth wireless transmitter: 1. Tap and hold on the Bluetooth icon at the bottom right of the screen. A menu appears. 2. Tap Enable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes from to , and the blue LED light at the top of your iQue M5 begins to blink. To open BTExplorer: 1. Tap the icon. 2. Tap Show BTExplorer. Tap Enable Bluetooth on the menu that appears. NOTE: When you open BTExplorer, you also automatically enable the Bluetooth wireless transmitter. 40 iQue® M5 Operating Instructions

Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio signals to send and receive information quickly and securely from many different types
of devices, including computers, phones, and printers. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, you can synchronize your iQue M5
with your personal computer, exchange or print files, connect to a network, or browse the Internet. To communicate, devices with
Bluetooth technology do not have to be in the same room, but they must be within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other.
