There are three options on this screen:
·
Current Profile:
To change the active profile, tap the down-arrow in the "Current
profile:" field and select the new profile from the drop-down list. The
current profile will be saved, and the settings from the selected profile
will be loaded. To add, delete, or rename a profile, tap
(see Section 2.1.1).
·
Bluetooth Status:
•
External Bluetooth hardware (CompactFlash or PC expansion card)
(see Figure 4 ).
·
Bluetooth Manager:
Tapping on this shortcut starts the Bluetooth Manager.
When Bluetooth is OFF, no connections, incoming or outgoing, are possible.
When Bluetooth is ON, Bluetooth is always "up" and battery drain is significantly
greater than when Bluetooth is disabled. To conserve battery power, do not
enable Bluetooth when it is not being used.

2.1.1 Profiles
Profiles are accessed and managed from the Control Panel, General Tab.
They allow:
·
Different users to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC according to their
personal preferences. For example, if multiple users share the same
Pocket PC, but each uses it for a different purpose, selecting a pre-
configured profile will alter the settings to those of the appropriate user.
·
A single user to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC for a different
environment. If a PDA is used primarily at the office, but also used
when traveling, pre-configured profiles are useful, for example, more
secure settings for hotel, airport, or similar "public" environments.
All Bluetooth settings are saved in the active profile. A profile named "Office,"
for example, may include Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption settings, and
connection shortcuts to specific services on work-related Bluetooth devices. A
profile named "Public" on the same device may only allow the owner's laptop
computer to connect to the Pocket PC. When the "Public" profile is selected,
only the Bluetooth settings related to that profile are active.
When the Pocket PC is turned off, BTWCE saves the most recent profile and
reloads that profile the next time the device is turned on.
The Profile options (available from the Control Panel, General Tab) are:
·
A list of existing profiles—when BTWCE is started for the first time the
only profile listed will be "Default." To enable a profile, tap it.
·
accesses a screen from which you can:
Add a profile
Rename a profile
Delete a profile.
