How to Use a Cell Phone's Bluetooth

Bluetooth Cell Phone

Cell phones with Bluetooth capabilities use radio waves to connect the cell phone wirelessly to other electronic devices. When a cell phone is connected to other devices with Bluetooth connections, it is possible to transfer data and use your cell phone wirelessly with a headset.

Once a cell phone is paired to another electronic device, the connection will remain between the two devices as long as they are within range of each other.
