What is Bluetooth™: Notes

2003 BMW Z4 3.0 3, AutomaticSECTION Notes

The name Bluetooth™ is derived from the Danish King Harald Bluetooth who lived in the 10th century. He was well known for his ability to unify his kingdom and today lends his name to a wireless technology standard that can connect/unify various electronic devices that are Bluetooth™ enabled and located within a short range (approx. 10 m or 32.8 ft) of each other.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology is a short-range radio frequency technology standard that allows several devices to communicate with each other simultaneously. The standard indicates that up to seven simultaneous connections can be established and maintained at one time, as long as the connected devices are within a range of 10 m (32.8 ft).

NOTE: The ULF system will allow four phones to be paired to the system at a time and only allow one phone to be connected at a time.
