Tips & Warnings

Remember that more features most likely means more power consumption. Purchase spare batteries and keep them in your glove compartment.
When shopping for a wireless product like Bluetooth, you may be tempted to settle for cheaper brands, especially if you are on a tight budget. But you must consider compatibility. While Bluetooth may be expensive, it will connect with other brands quickly and effectively.
As a safety measure, switch Bluetooth to invisible mode when you are in a public place. This can prevent increasing instances of "bluesnarfing," in which an attacker exploits a security error in Bluetooth-run cell phones and reads, modifies, or simply copies address books and calendars stored in the victim's phone.
