Bluetooth 145

Sending and receiving information using Bluetooth

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