Bluetooth
Note:
For Hearing Aid Compatibility Information,
see page 115.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless
communications technology for exchanging
information over a distance of about 30 feet. You
don’t need to line up the devices to send
information with Bluetooth. If the devices are in
range, you can exchange information between
them, even if they are in different rooms.
Your device can use Bluetooth to share photos,
contacts and other content with other Bluetooth
devices. Many of the apps on your device
provide options for sharing via Bluetooth under
Menu
.
