Actually you don't need to disable PAN. PAN doesn't really impose extra load over bluetooth usage. When you walk away from PAN's coverage, it'll disconnect automatically (actually this is annoying XD)

I didn't add the part to disable PAN because I reckon people would still want to use bluetooth (e.g. headset) even when they don't need PAN (Like I usually do).

If you really want to save battery, you can simple turn off bluetooth entirely by using bluezwitch I recommended in paragraph 3.5 of the instructions on the first page.

Let me know if you've further query. ^^
