2. Near Field Communication

NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless connectivity technology that enables two-way communication between electronic devices. You can perform contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect devices with a single touch.

NFC operates over a distance of a few centimeters. NFC technology is supported by leading mobile device manufacturers and is compatible with the majority of available non-contact payment and ticketing card infrastructures.

To change your NFC device name, select Menu > NFC > NFC device name. The NFC device name is used by other NFC devices to recognize your phone.

For more information about NFC, select Menu > NFC > NFC Introduction.

NFC detection

To switch NFC on or off, select Menu > NFC > NFC settings.

To save battery power, your device automatically switches off the screen backlight and sets NFC to standby mode. Any action on the device re-activates the screen backlight and NFC.

Note: When Flight mode is activated, only NFC card applications and services can be used.

To use NFC, switch on the phone and activate the NFC setting, if disabled. Touch the service tag or other NFC device with the detection area.

The reading range is typically 0 to 3 centimetres.

When a tag or device is recognised, corresponding information is displayed.
