Your device features built-in Bluetooth technology, allowing you to share information more easily than ever before.

Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.

This section shows you how to use Bluetooth on your device, including turning Bluetooth on and off, connecting to another Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth stereo headset, and more.
