Q: Brand New 13" Air - Bluetooth Not Discoverable

The BlueTooth checkbox in System Preferences->Bluetooth shows Bluetooth "ON" and Discoverable "unchecked and dimmed" - I'm unable to turn this on by checking this box. I found out that if I turn on Bluetooth Sharing then the Discoverable box gets a check, but remains dimmed. All other OSX Lion machines show both boxes as available and have the ability to check/uncheck the boxes. What's the story here? Is the Air "special" with respect to Bluetooth - is this a battery saving feature?
