Chapter 17 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
206
Allowing Wakeup
When your handheld is off, the Allow Wakeup setting determines whether your
handheld wakes up when you receive a connection request from another
Bluetooth device that knows your device name. When this setting is enabled, you
can receive requested information when your handheld is off, and then review it
later. You can allow wakeup at any time, during specific hours of the day, or not
at all. By default, your handheld is set to not wake up.
For another Bluetooth-enabled device or application to wake up your handheld,
the application must “remember” your device name. The BlueBoard and BlueChat
applications on the Software Essentials CD-ROM can remember device names;
however, Address Book, Memo Pad, Note Pad, and To Do List cannot remember
device names and therefore cannot wake up another handheld.
NOTE
Enabling the Allow Wakeup setting uses battery power even when your
handheld is turned off. Be sure to monitor your battery level.
