Abstract
A system and method of automatically turning a PAN (personal area network) radio, such as a Bluetooth radio, on and off in a wireless device is described. The wireless device is coupled to an audio peripheral through a wireless PAN connection. In one embodiment, if the wireless PAN connection becomes non-operational, then the PAN radio in the wireless device is automatically turned off in order to conserve power. In another embodiment, if a call is completed, then the personal is network radio is automatically turned off. The PAN radio is turned back on automatically whenever its operation is required such as when receiving or placing a call. In another embodiment, if any wireless connection becomes non-operational or any communication terminates on any connection, then a radio in the wireless device is automatically turned off in order to conserve power. The radio is turned back on automatically whenever its operation is required such as when receiving or sending data.
