Description:

System tray icon which shows the status of a Bluetooth wireless module (either integrated or via an adapter). Most systems with such a module installed can enable/disable the module and the icon changes from blue/white to blue/red when the module is turned off. Also allows access to explore bluetooth places, setup wizard, advanced configuration, quick connect and shutdown device. This entry is required in order to successfully "pair" your system with a Bluetooth device (such as a mobile phone, PDA, headset) using this wireless protocol (via a PIN)
