Sending information using Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to send information from your phone to another Bluetooth
enabled device such as a phone or notebook computer. You can send the following
types of information, depending on the device you are sending to:
Photos and videos
Calendar events
Contacts
Audio files
Before you begin, set the receiving device to discoverable mode. You may also need
to set it to “Receive Beams” or “Receive Files”. Refer to the device’s documentation
for instructions on receiving information over Bluetooth.
The first time you transfer information between your phone and another device, you
need to enter or confirm a security passcode. After that, your phone and the other
device are paired, and you will not need to exchange passcodes to transfer
information in the future.
1. On your phone, open the app that contains the information or file you want to
send.
2. Follow the steps for the type of item you want to send:
3. Turn on Bluetooth if you’re asked to do so.
4. If you haven’t paired with the receiving device before, tap Scan for devices.
5. Tap the name of the receiving device.
6. If prompted, accept the pairing request on your phone and the receiving device.
Also enter the same passcode on both your phone and the other device, or
confirm the auto-generated passcode.
7. On the receiving device, accept the file.
