Send Information Using Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to transfer information between your tablet and another Bluetooth-enabled
device such as a tablet or notebook computer. The first time you transfer information between your
tablet and another device, you need to enter or confirm a security passcode. After that, your tablet
and the other device are paired, and you will not need to exchange passcodes to transfer information
in the future.
You can send the following types of information, depending on the device you are sending to:
n
Images and videos
n
Calendar events
n
Contacts
n
Audio files
The location where the information is saved depends on the type of information and the receiving
device.
