Bluetooth & Wi-Fi one-touch setup

Just touch the back of your smartphone to an NFC-enabled
Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi access point to automatically pair or

Security

Wireless connections and content sharing all demand security:

• Range: NFC only works over a short range (about

4 cm/1.5 inches), so it's unlikely you’ll connect by
mistake—if you did, you would still have to accept the
connection to send or receive information.

• Encryption: Your smartphone uses the latest security,

encryption, and authentication features to protect your
personal information for content sharing.
