Bluetooth technology
allows capable devices to share information wirelessly.
Bluetooth wireless technology sends information--documents, media files or pictures, for example--between compatible devices without a wired connection. Key features of Bluetooth technology are its low power usage and economical cost, according to Bluetooth. Toshiba manufactures several laptops that come equipped with Bluetooth communication. Toshiba laptops offer two methods for enabling Bluetooth: the TOSHIBA assist utility and the Application Card shortcut. To use Bluetooth on your Toshiba laptop, you must enable the feature and "pair" it with another device to begin sending and receiving data.
