Bluetooth
You can establish a wireless connection with any other Bluetooth compatible device using Bluetooth
technology. Examples of Bluetooth compatible devices can include stereo earphones, keyboard, etc.
Since a Bluetooth-enabled device communicates with other devices by radio waves, you do not have
to position your IdeaTab directly towards the other device. You simply need to make sure that the
maximum distance between the two devices does not exceed 10 m (about 32 feet). However, please
note that the Bluetooth connection can sometimes be interrupted by obstacles, such as walls, or
other electronic devices.
Your IdeaTab supports V4.0 Bluetooth. To ensure effective operation of your IdeaTab and another
Bluetooth-enabled device, please use only Lenovo-approved accessories compatible with your
IdeaTab. Also, check with the manufacturer of the other device to determine whether the device is
compatible with your IdeaTab.
In some cases, the use of Bluetooth may be restricted. Please consult with local authorities or your
service provider.
Using applications that require Bluetooth technology or running such applications in the background
will consume the battery power of your IdeaTab at a faster rate, and reduce the service life of your
battery. You can perform the following in Bluetooth settings:
