Sending and Receiving Information Using Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to transfer information between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device
such as a phone or notebook computer. The first time you transfer information between your device and
another device, you need to enter or confirm a security passcode. After that, your device and the other
device are paired, and you will not need to exchange passcodes to transfer information in the future.

Ⅲ Images and videos
Ⅲ Calendar events
Ⅲ Contacts

The location where the information is saved depends on the type of information and the receiving device:

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.
Ⅲ If you send another file type to a Windows computer, it is normally saved in the Bluetooth Exchange
folder within your personal document folders.
● On Windows XP, the path may be: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\
My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange.
● On Windows Vista, the path may be: C:\Users\[your username]\Documents.
Ⅲ If you send a file to another device, the saved location may depend on the file type. For example, if you
