Page 41 highlights

Using Bluetooth wireless devices (select models only) A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following: ● Devices (desktop, notebook, PDA) ● Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone) ● Imaging devices (printer, camera) ● Audio devices (headset, speakers) Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a personal area network (PAN) of Bluetooth devices. For information on configuring and using Bluetooth devices, refer to the Bluetooth software Help. Bluetooth and Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) HP does not recommend setting up one device with Bluetooth as a host and using it as a gateway through which other devices may connect to the Internet. When two or more devices are connected using Bluetooth, and Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is enabled on one of the devices, the other devices may not be able to connect to the Internet using the Bluetooth network. The strength of Bluetooth is in synchronizing information transfers between your device and wireless devices including cellular phones, printers, cameras, and PDAs. The inability to consistently connect two or more devices to share the Internet through Bluetooth is a limitation of Bluetooth and the Windows operating system.
