<title>Turn bluetooth on or off</title>

<p>
You can turn <app>Bluetooth</app> on to send and receive files, but turn it off to conserve power.
</p>

<p>
To turn <app>Bluetooth</app> on, click the <app>Bluetooth</app> icon in the <gui>top bar</gui>, then toggle the <gui>Bluetooth</gui> slider so that it reads as <gui>ON</gui>. 
</p> 

<note style="tip"><p>If you are connecting to another <app>Bluetooth</app> device for the first time, you will also need to set the <gui>Visibility</gui> slider to <gui>ON</gui>. This will allow your device to be seen by other <app>Bluetooth</app> devices.</p></note>

<p>To turn <app>bluetooth</app> off, change the <gui>Bluetooth</gui> slider to the <gui>OFF</gui> position.
</p>
