What you should know about Bluetooth
This section introduces you to Bluetooth technology.

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a standard wireless technology that lets users make effortless, fast connections between appropriate mobile devices and computers. Bluetooth ensures protection from interference, increases data security, and provides greater wireless range. It is a global standard and is backed by major industry leaders in the telecommunications, computer and consumer electronics (such as 3Com, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Sony and Toshiba). Bluetooth is based on a low-cost, low power, short-range radio link. Bluetooth cuts the cords that used to tie up digital devices. When two Bluetooth equipped devices come within 10 meters range of each other, they can establish a connection together. And because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it doesn't require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate. Bluetooth uses the global available and unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band. As opposed to other 2.4 GHz technologies, Bluetooth is a universal standard. In the future, Bluetooth is likely to be standard in tens of millions of mobile phones, PCs, laptops and a whole range of other electronic devices. As a result, the market is going to demand new innovative applications, value-added services, end-to-end solutions and much more. The possibilities opened up really are limitless, and because the radio frequency used is globally available, Bluetooth can offer fast and secure access to wireless connectivity all over the world. With potential like that, it's no wonder that Bluetooth is set to become the fastest adopted technology in history. For more information on Bluetooth, please visit the official Bluetooth site: www.bluetooth.com
What is the "Bluetooth SIG"?
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is a trade association of leaders in the telecommunication, computing and networking industries who are driving the development of Bluetooth specifications. Logitech is an associate member of the Bluetooth SIG and full member of the HID working group.
What is the range of Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology in its base implementation supports a range of 10 meters (33 feet). This is the maximum distance a connection can be guaranteed in all conditions. Some devices on the market have more powerful transceivers and as such, are likely to have greater range. This is the case for the Logitech Bluetooth hub, and is the reason why the range of Logitechs Bluetooth keyboards and mice is usually much higher than 10 meters (33 feet). It is also important to note that range is also impacted by building materials and interference.

Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi are complementary technologies that do different things:
1.10 Will using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies together cause interference?
Studies by a number of companies indicate that if the separation is more than two meters, in most cases there is no perceptible degradation in transmitting data in either device. From two meters to about a half-meter, there is a graceful degradation. As the devices are brought into very close proximity, the degradation can be quite noticeable. Fortunately, this scenario only happens when the two systems are in the same device, and in those cases, Bluetooth hardware and Wi-Fi hardware can collaborate to dramatically improve performance. In addition, all Bluetooth desktops from Logitech include Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) technology, making them an ideal solution for the growing number of customers who work on a wireless network, because it minimizes interference between Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi wireless technology.
1.11 What does "Pairing" mean, and what is a Passkey?
Normally, for security reasons, two Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired before they can exchange data. The term pairing (or bonding as it is sometimes referred to) means that two devices are exchanging protected passkeys, enabling a higher level of security. Once the devices have been paired, the information is stored so that you don't have to re-pair these devices a second time. Even though devices are paired, this does not mean that they can necessarily transfer data. To do that, they must also be connected. Once devices are paired and connected, data can be transferred and two-way communication is enabled. In certain instances, it makes sense to override the pairing procedure; for example when exchanging business cards between two mobile phones it may be too cumbersome to pair using a password. For these situations, most devices have advanced settings that allow you to pair using a lower level of security.
An industry first, Logitech's SecureConnect Technology featured in products such as the Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser means that the wireless keyboard and mouse have been pre-connected to the receiver. This not only provides an instant secure link with the computer right from the start but also means that a passkey is no longer required, the main benefit of which is a faster, hassle-free installation.
1.12 What is "discoverable mode" (or "visible mode")?

For one device to initially "find" another Bluetooth device, one product must be in discoverable mode (be "visible"), while the other performs a device discovery (or "device search"). The way you put your product in a discoverable mode varies by device and by manufacturer. Most devices allow a user to configure the default state. Please consult the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device to find specific instructions on device discovery. For security reasons it is recommended that you do not usually leave your devices in a discoverable state. However, there are usage cases where this does make sense for example, a Bluetooth printer in a shared area would be a good example of a device that should always be in discoverable state. Logitech keyboards and mice are in discoverable mode when you press the 'Connect' button located on the bottom.
1.13 What is a Bluetooth "profile" (or "service")?
A profile or service is a list of options, features or functionality available for a specific Bluetooth device. Since Bluetooth wireless technology is used for many different types of applications, it is necessary to describe how the different devices and their applications should operate together. For example, profiles or services available for a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone may include Dial-up Networking, PIM Item Transfer, PIM Synchronization, Network Access, and so on. For devices to work together, it is important that each device shares the same profile. For example: If you want to connect a headset to a mobile phone you need the 'headset' profile in both devices. If you want to establish a dial-up session to reach the Internet from a PDA connected to a mobile phone, you need the 'dial-up networking' profile in both devices. A mouse, which typically supports the HID (Human Interface Device) profile, and a mobile phone are unlikely to work due to the fact that, presently, there are no phones that support the HID profile or service.
An example that is not likely to work together:
These are just some examples. When purchasing your Bluetooth device, please keep this concept in mind to ensure that the devices you purchase will work together as expected. Usually the supported profiles or services are listed in the user documentation for the device.
1.14 What are the Bluetooth profiles supported by Logitech products?
Logitech products support the following profiles: Profile Human Interface Device Object Exchange Synchronize Headset Basic Imaging Dial-up Network Hard Cable Replacement Serial Port Audio Gateway AV Local Area Network File Transfer Allows you to Connect your Bluetooth HID with the system. Send and receive business cards/files between the device and the computer. Synchronize your address book on the device with the computer. Listen to music on your Bluetooth headset. Send pictures to the computer from the device. Connect to the internet via GPRS. Print documents on your Bluetooth printer. Connect to the device's serial port. Use the computer's speakers and mic for the device. Listen to music on your stereo headset. Connect computers wirelessly. Browse the content of the device.

1.15 What is a Bluetooth "stack"?
A stack is a piece of software that is installed on your computer. It allows Bluetooth devices to be recognized and used. Currently, a Bluetooth stack is required due to the fact that Windows XP and Windows 2000 do not natively support Bluetooth. A Bluetooth stack is provided with all Logitech Bluetooth desktop.
1.16 Which Bluetooth stack (software) is used in Logitech products?
The Bluetooth stack we are using is provided by Broadcom (also known as "BTW"); it allows Bluetooth devices to be recognized and used. Logitech Desktops also support the Microsoft XP SP2 Bluetooth stack. However, for optimal performance, we recommend you use the Bluetooth stack provided with your product. For instance, Microsoft is not currently offering Audio support with its stack, and therefore you are not able to connect a Bluetooth headset to your Bluetooth hub anymore.
1.17 Is Bluetooth harmful?
Wireless phones and Bluetooth devices both emit non-ionizing radiation, typically at frequencies from 1 to 2.5 GHz. The data results on health hazards from wireless phone radiation are not clear-cut, with some studies showing a measure of risk and some showing no problems. But because it's a good idea to err on the side of caution in such matters, regulatory bodies have set exposure standards. These are expressed in terms of the "specific absorption rate" (SAR), which attempts to measure the radiation actually reaching body tissue. The U.S. and Canadian governments have set a maximum SAR of 1.6 watts per kilogram, while the European Union permits a slightly higher level. In the real world, emissions generally stay well below the maximum allowed. According to data from BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion (RIMM), SARs for GSM BlackBerry devices fall in the range of 0.25 watts per kilogram when used at your ear.
Bluetooth radios operate at much lower power levels than phones so, not surprisingly, the radiation added by a Bluetooth device is insignificant by comparison. A study by William G. Scanlon of Queen's University in Belfast found that a typical Ericsson (ERICY) Bluetooth radio module generates an SAR of just 0.001 watts per kilogram.
1.18 Can I access the BIOS settings of my system with my Bluetooth keyboard?
Yes. During boot, your Bluetooth keyboard acts as a standard USB keyboard. This means you can use it to manage your BIOS setting or enter a boot password without the need for a second keyboard as long as your BIOS does not require a PS/2 keyboard in order to boot. If that is the case, you may have to upgrade your BIOS (refer to your computer documentation for instructions).

I have a Bluetooth PDA (or Smartphone). Can I use my Logitech keyboard or mouse with it?
Yes, as long as your Bluetooth PDA or Smartphone comes with a Bluetooth stack that includes the HID profile, you can connect your keyboard or mouse to it. Refer to your device's documentation for further information.

How do I easily transfer pictures and files between my computer and my mobile phone?
To transfer a picture over Bluetooth to the computer, simply use your phone option 'send picture over Bluetooth', then select your computer as the destination and agree on the computer that you want to receive the pictures. They are sent to your personal folder. In addition, you can send pictures to your mobile phone. Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto).
How do I do voice over Instant Messaging with my Bluetooth headset?
Voice over instant messaging using a Bluetooth headset is possible with MSN Messenger 7, Yahoo Messenger 6.0, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.9, and with Skype. You must first pair your Bluetooth headset with the Logitech Bluetooth wireless hub and connect your headset. You can then enjoy voice over instant messaging. Some instant messaging applications need to be restarted after the connection of the Bluetooth headset in order to use the correct audio output channel. Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto).

How do I listen to music wirelessly with a Bluetooth headphone?
All you need is a Bluetooth headphone and a media player such as iTunes or Windows Media Player 10. For optimal results, it is recommended you use a headphone with Bluetooth 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate, to benefit from the maximum bandwidth (up to 3Mb/s). Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto).
How do I enable wireless printing?
To enjoy wireless printing with Bluetooth, you must first pair your printer with the Logitech Bluetooth wireless hub and then install the printer drivers. Please make sure the Bluetooth printer or Bluetooth dongle for the printer is using the HCRP profile. We do not recommend using the Serial Port profile. Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto).
I am using the Serial Port Profile and I have been asked to set up a virtual COM port. What is it?
A virtual COM port emulates the behavior of a physical serial port. Every computer has two COM ports (also called Serial ports) and has the capability of adding virtual COM ports. Devices can communicate to each other via a virtual serial link as long as they both are using the same COM port (for example COM port 6). For a computer application, a virtual COM port behaves the same as a physical COM port, and therefore allows an application designed to deal with a physical serial communication (such as HotSync) to work wirelessly.

Learn about Logitech MX 1000 for Bluetooth Mouse
This section provides some FAQs for the Logitech MX 1000 Bluetooth mouse.
What is the benefit of the MX Laser tracking engine?
Logitechs revolutionary laser-powered mice unite the precision of laser illumination with the proven technology of sensor-based motion tracking in a way never done before. To detect movement, all sensor-based mice, regardless of light source, use sensors to 'read' the light beam as it is reflected back into the mouse from the tracking surface (Figure 2).

Figure 2: An optical mouse works by reading a reflected light beam on the surface
Each second, Agilents optical sensor inside Logitechs mouse takes more than 6000 snapshot 'fingerprints', converts the information to digital format and uses the changes in fingerprints to calculate the mouses precise location, speed and direction of movement (Figure 3). Armed with that knowledge, Logitechs driver software then communicates with the computers operating system, which moves the cursor image on the screen.
Figure 3: Interpreting differences in image fingerprints can be translated to movement of the mouse
Laser illumination reveals structure that an LED simply cannot express. The coherent nature of laser light creates patterns of high contrast when its light is reflected from a surface. The pattern appearing on the sensor reveals details on any surface, even glossy surfaces that would look totally uniform when exposed to the LED incoherent illumination (Figure 4). The precision image sensors then have no difficulties in tracking on these patterns and calculating position and movement. This is how laser enables tracking on virtually any surface.
Figure 4: Laser uncovers surface features not detected by LED.
Could the Laser Engine harm me?
A quick look around any home reveals lasers improving our lives. From CD and DVD players to printers and handheld pointers, lasers designed for consumer use offer enormous benefits and a high degree of safety. But lasers also conjure up images of destructive ray guns, a staple of science-fiction movies. Fortunately, thats not the case with Logitechs laser mouse technology. Logitechs laser mice are perfectly safe for consumers, earning a Class I eye-safe designation. After all, transmitting a beam of light for the tiny distance required, less than an inch, requires only a minuscule amount of power.
How long does it take to recharge the mouse?
It takes only 10 minutes of charging to provide enough power for one full day of use. It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the MX 1000.
How long can I use the mouse once its fully charged?
The mouse has an autonomy of approximately 15 days. This number may vary depending on the activity level. It takes only 10 minutes of charging to provide enough power for one full day of use. It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the MX 1000.
Does it harm the mouse to leave it on the cradle?
No, the charge algorithm will detect the end of charge and then conserve the full battery charge without over-charging. Just make sure the power-brick stays powered as long as the mouse remains on the cradle, otherwise the batteries will discharge again.
Can I interrupt a charging session before the end of charge?
Yes, you can interrupt a charging session; the mouse will just run for a shorter period of time before it needs a new recharge.

Is it true that if I never complete a full charge of the batteries, I might damage them or shorten their total life?
No, you won't damage the batteries or the mouse with partial recharge. Nevertheless, we recommend letting the charge complete fully until the end as often as possible.
Should I put the mouse on the cradle immediately each time I stop using it? Is there an optimal period for recharge?
Feel free to choose which rate is the most convenient for you. We suggest that you put your mouse on its cradle each time you leave your computer for a while, e.g. at lunchtime and at the end of the day, and so on.
Can I use another power brick or do I need to use the Logitech power brick?
You must use the Logitech power brick. Only the specific Logitech power brick can be used to charge the mouse. The power brick is not a standard power brick but has a specific characteristic to be used only with the mouse.
