1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.

4. Your BlackBerry device automatically detects any discoverable devices within range.
• If the device that you want to connect to appears in the Devices list, tap the device name. Complete the
instructions that appear on the screen.
• If the device doesn't appear in the Devices list, it might not be discoverable. Check that the device is discoverable
then try again. If you don't know how to check that the device is discoverable, consult the documentation that
came with the device.
• If the device doesn't appear in the Devices list and you can't connect by making it discoverable, you might need
to initiate pairing from the device. On your BlackBerry device, in the Discoverable drop-down list, tap On or 2
Minutes. If necessary, enter your BlackBerry device password. Start the pairing process according to the
documentation that came with the device.
Your devices are now ready to share and communicate over the Bluetooth connection. Depending on the device you paired
with, your devices are either connected or ready to connect when you initiate a Bluetooth related action such as sharing a
file.
What is NFC?
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your administrator's settings, and
your BlackBerry device model.
NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's designed for easily sharing content and information without having to use
pairing information.
Depending on the applications you have installed on your device and the NFC compatibility of other devices, there can be
many interesting ways to use NFC. Here are a few possibilities:
• Simultaneously exchange contact cards with a new friend or business acquaintance.
• Pass a picture to your friend.
• Pay for your bus or subway ride.
