Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth .
Use Bluetooth to connect wirelessly to compatible devices, such as other mobile devices, computers, headsets, and car kits.
You can also send items from your device, copy files from your compatible PC, and print using a compatible printer.
Bluetooth uses radio waves to connect, and devices must be within 10 metres (33 feet) of each other. Obstructions, such as walls or other electronic devices, can cause interference.
