<p>You can turn Bluetooth on to use Bluetooth devices and send and receive files,
but turn it off to conserve power. To turn Bluetooth on, click the Bluetooth icon
on the top bar and switch <gui>Bluetooth</gui> on.</p>

<p>Many laptop computers have a hardware switch or key combination to turn
Bluetooth on and off. If the Bluetooth hardware is turned off, you will not
see a Bluetooth icon in the top bar. Look for a switch on your computer or
a key on your keyboard. The keyboard key is often accessed with the help of the
<key>Fn</key> key.</p>

<p>To turn Bluetooth off, click the Bluetooth icon and switch <gui>Bluetooth</gui> off.</p>

<note><p>You only need to switch <gui>Visibility</gui> on if you are connecting
to this computer from another device. See <link xref="bluetooth-visibility"/>
for more information.</p></note>
