    Right now it's white and this means it's turned off
    .
    It's the default setting for the Bluetooth to be turned off, because it does take up a lot of battery power. It's good to turn it on when we need it. If we don't need it, turn it off again. If we want to transfer something via Bluetooth, it's very useful, and then we can turn it off if we don't need it anymore.
