Bluetooth 125
Sending and receiving information using Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to transfer information between your phone and another
Bluetooth-enabled device such as a phone or notebook computer. 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.
Sending information from your phone to another device
You can send the following types of information, depending on the device you are sending to:
Images and videos
Calendar events
Contacts
Audio files

Beams” or “Receive Files”. Refer to the device’s documentation for instructions on receiving
information over Bluetooth.
2. On the phone, open the application that contains the information or file you want to send. For
example, if you want to transfer a photo, press HOME, and then tap > Gallery.

The location where the information is saved depends on the type of information and the
receiving device:
If you send a calendar event or contact, it is normally added directly to the corresponding
application on the receiving device. For example, if you send a calendar event to a
compatible phone, the event is shown in that phone’s calendar application.
