### Enviar ficheiros ao dispositivo Bluetooth

Choose this menu to send a file to a device; a file chooser will appear to pick up the file to send and you'll have to select the device to send the file to.

### Examinar dispositivos Bluetooth

### Últimos dispositivos usados

Esta sección mostra os dispositivos emparellados aos que se pode conectar.

Para conectarse co dispositivo, prema sobre o seu nome, que aparecerá en negra para informarlle que está conectado a el.

Para engadir un dispositivo novo (que consiste en emparellar o seu adaptador co seu dispositivo), prema na icona do miniaplicativo e elixa Configurar un novo dispositivo…. Un asistente gráfico axudaralle no proceso de configurar o seu dispositivo.

Don't forget to set your remote device in discoverable mode before starting the process, else the wizard won't be able to find it.

### Descubríbel

When your adapter is set to Discoverable any Bluetooth device around will be able to see it, and therefore will able to ask pairing.

Bluetooth as other network types implies security risks, so setting your adapter undiscoverable to other devices is a good thing to do to limit the possibility of cracking.

This is only useful to set your device discoverable if you plan to pair it with another device, once it is done, you can untick Discoverable.

When your device is undiscoverable, communication with already paired Bluetooth devices is possible.

### Nome amistoso do adaptador

The friendly name is an alias for the address used to identified each Bluetooth device much easier to remind.

By default the adapter friendly name is `HOSTNAME`-0 (where `HOSTNAME` is the name of your computer), to change it, edit the text entry and set the name you want. the change will be immediatly effective.

### Dispositivos coñecidos

Known devices lists the Bluetooth devices you paired and let you manage them, like deleting them, connect to them or adding new one.

- Setup new device, as described in

- Connect / Disconnect to a device.

- Device Deletion. Deletion will suppress pairing between the adapter and the device, and no communication will be allowed. You need to pair them together again if you want transfer files for instance.

### Mostrar a icona de Bluetooth

You can show or hide Bluetooth icon in the panel. See for the applet features.

If you disable the icon in the panel, only limited set of actions will remain available.

Esta característica non a fornece gnome-bluetooth, debe instalar gnome-user-share para usar esta característica.

Lea máis no Manual de Compartición de ficheiros personais: recepción e compartición.

## Precuntas Frecuentes

I don't see how to receive files over Bluetooth on my computer in gnome-bluetooth, am I blind?

File reception is not implemented in gnome-bluetooth, but in gnome-user-share, so you have to install this application to be able to receive files over Bluetooth. Button explained in the is just a launcher of its configuration dialog.
