Unfortunately the bluetooth functionality is completely missing from the hardware and software manuals. The knowledge base article links also appear to be gone, so it might not work anymore.
It was intended to be used with the Netgear Insight mobile app. It provided an alternative way to access the NAS status in cases when the ethernet access is disfunctional. Not a bad idea, but it only applies to a rather narrow use case.
Hopefully a Netgear mod (perhaps mdgm-ntgr ) will chime in, and give you the current status of the feature.
