Hot Cell Phone Tips:Motorola RAZR Bluetooth Wireless Connection

This is how you do it :

1. Create a link between your Motorola RAZR Phone and any Bluetooth Accessory 1.0 and up, you need to turn the Bluetooth connection "on".
This is how: Go into your phone "settings". > Then select "Connection" > "Bluetooth Link" > "Set Up" > "Power" > "On". The connection will stay on until you turn it off. We recommend to turn it off when not in use to preserve battery life.

2. To connect your Motorla RAZR to another Bluetooth hands free kit or headset, go into "Settings" > "Connection" > "Bluetooth Link" > "Handsfree" > (Look for Device). You phone will scan for available devices located within the range of the Motorola RAZR, approx 30 feet away. If your cell phone is already connected to a Blue Tooth headset, you must disconnect from it to find other devices. Once you have identified your bluetooth device, highlight its name and click on the "select" button.

3. The Bluetooth device will ask permission to connect. Select "yes" and press the "select" button; after that you will be prompted to insert a PIN code to initiate a secure connection. The PIN code is sually provided by the Bluetooth device manufacturer, not the RAZR. Once the connection is made, you should see the bluetooth logo displayed on the internal screen, while the external screen Bluetooth indicator will flash

Hot Cell Phone Tips:Motorola RAZR Video Capture

Motorola Razr users can record video clips and send them to other cell phone users by using a multimedia message.

This is how to do it:

1. Activate you cellphone video camera, by selecting in the menu: Multimedia > Videos > New Video > .
2. Then press on the "capture" button (right end corner) to start recording. Press on the "stop" button (right end corner) to end the video.
3. You will be given the option to store it or discard. If you decide to store it, the Motorola RAZR will prompt you to either "send in message" or "store only". If you store it, you will find your video under Multimedia > Videos > Video Clip. If you decide to send it, the phone will ask you to select the cell phone number of the person you have stored in your contact menu and press the "send" button.

Reduce Your Exposure To Cell Phone Radiation

Since studies have shown that the overheating effect of cell phone radiation on the brain can occur in just minutes, limit your calls to those that are absolutely necessary. Use a landline for longer telephone calls.

Do your research before buying a wireless device. Most cell phones sold in the United States list their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in their manual. This number refers to the actual amount of RF energy absorbed by the body, so a lower number indicates a lower radiation exposure risk.

Invest in an airtube headset. While many people believe that using a headset offers some kind of protection, regular headsets actually intensify the radiation as it enters the ear canal. Avoid using your cell phone in metallic enclosures such as elevators, where radiation has nowhere to go but into your body.

Limit your cell phone use and choose cell phone radiation blockers as an extra measure of precaution. Until more is known about RF energy and the effects it has on the human body, it is up to you to protect yourself as best you can!

How Cell Phone Radiation Shields Work

As their name suggests, these cell phone accessories simply block cell phone radiation, preventing it from entering the ear or head. They are usually made of ceramic or other conductive materials and are readily available in stores or online for most cell phone models.

Protect Yourself from Cell Phone Radiation

"The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones... [is] the largest human biological experiment ever." - Professor Leif Salford, Head of Research at Lund University, Sweden.

Exposure to radiation from cell phones is a growing concern, not only in the United States, but around the world. As more and more studies point towards a link between cell phone radiation and headaches, certain types of cancer and even lowered sperm count, consumers are searching for ways to protect themselves from this potential threat.

Is Cell Phone Radiation Really Harmful?

The problem is that no definitive studies are available, one way or the other. With some scientists still arguing that cell phone radiation isn't dangerous at all, how is a consumer to know who to trust? Recently, several companies have created cell phone radiation blockers to ease the concerns of some cell phone users. Those who choose to do so can simply use this accessory to block up to 99% of cell phone radiation.

All cell phones and cell phone towers emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy, a type of electromagnetic energy. This RF energy differs from the type of electromagnetic energy found in gamma rays and x-rays and has been thought of until recently to be completely harmless. X-rays are a type of ionizing radiation, meaning that they damage human cells by stripping electrons away from their normal locations.

Since RF energy is non-ionizing, scientists believed that it would not have this same effect on human cells. However, tests on animals show that the heat created by cell phone radiation can indeed damage cells by overheating them. The extent of the damage is impossible to know or understand until further testing is done, but this type of testing on humans is a moral and ethical no-no.

Hot Cell Phones: Top 10 Buying Tips

Hot Cell Phones: Top 10 Buying Tips From PCMAG.COM

1. Ask around about the best carrier. Coverage and call quality vary widely between the six national carriers. The carriers will tell you that they're perfect, so ask neighbors, friends, and co-workers about who has the best coverage where you live, work and travel.

2. Pay attention to battery life. A dead phone is no phone at all, so look for a phone's "continuous talk time" rating. Assume you'll be able to go a day without charging for each hour of talk time.

3. Test the speaker. Usually, you'll be able to make local calls with a test phone at the wireless store. Make sure voices come through loud enough and clear enough.

4. Take a hands-off approach when driving. Several states now require you to use a hands-free kit in your car. For a car phone, look for speaker-independent voice commands so you don't have to touch the phone to dial. Try to find a phone with Bluetooth wireless capability for the widest selection of wireless headsets.

5. Keep an eye out for nickel-and-diming. Your base plan may not include instant messaging, picture messaging, e-mail access or calls in rural areas. If you're going to do any of those things, make sure it's included.

6. Shop in person, but buy online. Always go to a store to check out phone keypads, screens and speakers. But check carriers' Web sites and independent retailers like amazon.com for online deals once you've settled on a product.

7. Lock yourself in. Advertised, super-low prices for phones almost always require signing up for a new, two-year contract. Read the fine print to find the price for a phone with a one-year contract. If signing any contract drives you to distraction, check out no-commitment phones like AT&T's GoPhone or Virgin Mobile's prepaid service.

8. Consider a family plan. These are always the best deal for couples or families with multiple phones. You share a bucket of minutes, each get your own phone number and can save up to 50% over getting separate plans.

9. Get the right bands for your trips. If you travel between US cities, make sure your phone has both 850 and 1900 Mhz bands for the best coverage. If you often travel in the rural USA, an analog band will help big-time. And if you regularly go overseas, get a 'worldphone' with the 1800 Mhz band.

10. Don't be afraid to give it back. Most carriers offer a 15-day period when they'll take a phone back, no questions asked. Use your phone heavily the first week after you buy it. If anything deeply disturbs you – muffled sound, dead areas, a limp battery – return it and get a new one.

Hot Cell Phone Tips : How To Choose A Carrier

  • how much you are willing to spend per month
  • what features different carriers offer (data access, two-way text)
  • which calling areas tyou need access to
  • mobile-to-mobile options
  • family share plans
  • activation fee costs
  • phone prices
  • accessories included
  • contracts
Once you know what you want, you can easily choose a carrier.

Tip: Don't accept a special offer or sign any contract until you're sure the carrier and the phone you've chosen has everything necessary to make the wireless experience a good one. That iPod Nano might not suit you! Very few states offer a "buyer's remorse" guarantee when purchasing cell phone plans, so an informed decision is a wise one.

Hackers use Bluetooth to access cell phones

Nowadays, when you see someone talking on a cell phone, chances are, they're using a wireless device. Bluetooth technology is one of the latest must-have accessories for cell phones. It allows devices like cell phones and PDAs to communicate and transfer information with one another wirelessly. But be careful. Those convenient hands-free earpieces can be susceptible to hackers.

"There are viruses out there that you can get via Bluetooth if you have your phone always on and available to be found," says Darrel Bright at Suncom Wireless.

And that means the data on your phone, like emails, pictures, and addresses, could be seen by hackers. Often they use their phone to try to connect to another's phone through the Bluetooth device.

But you don't need to be too worried about other people listening in on your conversations. Bluetooth devices use a radio frequency that changes one thousand times per second, making it nearly impossible for someone to tap into the frequency of your phone. So what's the best way to make sure your bluetooth is secure?

"Don't make your Bluetooth always active. Only make it active when you need to use it," says Bright.

Experts say that's the best defense for keeping your private information private.
