Bluetooth can be used in the following ways: • Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks and contact cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. • Synchronize information between your phone and computer via Bluetooth. • Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect your phone to another device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that device. • Use your phone as a Bluetooth modem for a computer.
