■ NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless connectivity technology that
enables two-way communication between electronic devices. You can perform
contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect devices with a single
touch.
NFC operates over a distance of a few centimeters. NFC technology is supported
by leading mobile device manufacturers and is compatible with the majority of
available non-contact payment and ticketing card infrastructures.
To change your NFC device name, select Menu > NFC > NFC device name. The NFC
device name is used by other NFC devices to recognize your phone.
For more information about NFC, select Menu > NFC > NFC Introduction.
■ NFC detection
To switch NFC on or off, select Menu > NFC > NFC settings.
To save battery power, your device automatically switches off the screen backlight
and sets NFC to standby mode. Any action on the device re-activates the screen
backlight and NFC.
Note: When Flight mode is activated, only NFC card applications and
services can be used.
To use NFC, switch on the phone and
activate the NFC setting, if disabled.
Touch the service tag or other NFC
device with the detection area.
The reading range is typically
0to3centimetres.
When a tag or device is recognised,
corresponding information is
displayed.
