Author	Bluetooth "On" or "Discoverable" with P800 and HBH-35 ?
ac Joined: Feb 09, 2003 Posts: 316 From: India PM	Posted: 2003-08-09 20:06 Hi, I wanted to know as to what should be the preferred method for connecting/using the HBH-35 headset with my P800... Should I keep as "ON" or "DISCOVERABLE" ? As per the P800 manual, the only difference between the "On" and Discoverable" states is that pairing and receiving beamed items DO NOT work in the "On" mode. When the P800 communicates in "Discoverable" mode with the headset the status shows "<>" and when its idle, the status shows "<". However, even in the "On" mode, the phone displays "<>" and "<" in the activity and idle states respectively. Shouldn't it be showing ONLY the "<>" sign ? However, the HBH-35 manual mentions that "... bluetooth on your phone must be on... in order to use the headset..." Also, what impact does these modes have on the battery. Does the "On" mode drain more battery. Can anyone please help me on this ? Thanks. [ This Message was edited by: ac on 2003-08-09 19:19 ] [ This Message was edited by: ac on 2003-08-09 19:27 ]

When the P800 communicates in "Discoverable" mode with the headset the status shows "<>" and when its idle, the status shows "<". However, even in the "On" mode, the phone displays "<>" and "<" in the activity and idle states respectively. Shouldn't it be showing ONLY the "<>" sign ?
