Bluetooth Secure Mode

When the Bluetooth Visibility is turned on, your phone is
wirelessly transmitting its phone name and status to every device
within its range. This transmission can pose a security risk and

incite unauthorized connection to your phone. It is recommended
that you remain hidden unless necessary.

Remote SIM mode, when set to On, allows the Bluetooth phone
