Using the NFC devices
Depending on the model, your computer might come with the Near field communication (NFC) feature. Near
field communication is a high-frequency and short-range wireless communications technology. By using the
NFC feature, you can establish the radio communications between your computer and another NFC-enabled
device over a few centimeters. Some Lenovo apps are using the NFC feature.
This section provides the basic instructions on paring your computer with an NFC device. For more
information about data transfer, refer to the documentation of the NFC device.
Attention:
• Before handling the NFC card, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. Otherwise the card might
get damaged by the static electricity from your body.
• During the data transfer, do not put your computer or NFC-enabled smartphone into sleep mode;
otherwise, your data could get damaged.
