NOTE
In order to avoid wasting energy, the Bluetooth® module is
off by default. If you need to have Bluetooth® working, the
module must be powered on using the Wireless
Communications applet (see par. 4.7.2), and perform the
Discovery procedure (see par. 4.8.2).
NOTE
Suspending the terminal powers off the Bluetooth
®
radio and
drops the piconet (Bluetooth
®
connection). When the terminal
resumes, it takes approximately 10 seconds for the
Bluetooth
®
radio driver to re-initialize the radio.
NOTE
Area coverage and Bluetooth
®
radio performance may vary,
due to environmental conditions or interference caused by
other devices (microwave ovens, radio transmitters, etc.), etc.
