Connecting to Devices With Bluetooth Wireless Technology

With your Treo™ 755

P

smart device by Palm’s built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, you

can connect to a number of devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, such as a
headset, car kit, printer, or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and handhelds that are
enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. When you connect to another device, you
create a partnership (also referred to by terms such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing)
with that device. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can
also synchronize wirelessly or use your phone as a wireless modem.

You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your Treo
device. When communicating with trusted devices, your Treo device skips the discovery
process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up
to 30 feet (10 meters) in ideal conditions. Performance and range are affected by physical
obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

When you configure a headset (see “Connecting to a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device” on
page 79
), the headset is automatically added to your trusted device list. Follow the steps in
this section to add other devices to your trusted device list, such as your computer or GPS
device enabled with Bluetooth technology.

Entering Basic Bluetooth Settings

To use your Treo device’s Bluetooth functionality, you need to turn the Bluetooth feature
on, and you may need to make your device either temporarily or permanently visible. You
can also enter a name for your device.
