must, however, be within 10 meters (33 feet) of
each other, although the connection may be
subject to interference from obstructions such as
walls or from other electronic devices.
Paired devices can connect to your phone when

detect your phone only if the Bluetooth settings
view is open. Do not pair with or accept
connection requests from an unknown device.

The passcode is only used when you connect to
something for the first time.
SEND YOUR CONTENT USING BLUETOOTH
When you want to share your content or send
photos you've taken to a friend, use Bluetooth to
send them to compatible devices.

at a time. For example, while using a Bluetooth
headset, you can still send things to another

fixed. For details, see the user guide of the
other device.
The location of the received files depends on the

of your phone greatly. To get the best out of your

manufacturer.

stored on the card.
To check how much memory you have available
