phones or to your computer.
CONNECT TO A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
You can connect your phone with many useful Bluetooth devices. For example,
with a wireless headset (sold separately), you can speak on the phone hands-
free – you can continue what you’re doing, such as working at your computer,
during a call. Connecting a phone to a Bluetooth device is called pairing.
-
Tap Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Bluetooth.

-
You may need to type in a passcode. For details, see the user guide for the other device.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate using radio
waves, they do not need to be in a direct line of sight. Bluetooth devices
must, however, be within 10 meters (33 feet) of each other, although the
connection may be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or
from other electronic devices.
Paired devices can connect to your phone when Bluetooth is turned on. Other
devices can detect your phone only if the Bluetooth settings view is open.
Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an unknown device. This
helps to protect your phone from harmful content.

- Turn Use Bluetooth to ON.
- Go to the content you want to send, and tap > Bluetooth.
- Tap the device to connect to. You can see the Bluetooth devices within range.

fixed. For details, see the user guide of the other device.
The passcode is only used when you connect to something for the first time.

Battery and charger safety info
Once charging of your device is complete, unplug the charger from the device
and electrical outlet.
Please note that continuous charging should not exceed 12 hours. If left
unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always
keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) for optimal
performance. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily.
Note that the battery may drain quickly in cold temperatures and lose enough
power to turn off the phone within minutes. When you are
outdoors in cold temperatures, keep your phone warm.
Obey local regulations. Recycle when possible. Do not dispose of as household
waste.
Do not expose the battery to extremely low air pressure or leave it to
extremely high temperature, for example, dispose of it in a fire, as that may
cause the battery to explode or leak flammable liquid or gas.
Do not dismantle, cut, crush, bend, puncture, or otherwise damage the battery
in any way. If the battery leaks, do not let liquid touch skin or eyes. If
this happens, immediately flush the affected areas with water, or seek medical
help. Do not modify, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or
immerse or expose it to water or other liquids.
Batteries may explode if damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only. Improper use or
use of unapproved or incompatible batteries or chargers may present a risk of
fire, explosion, or another hazard, and may invalidate any approval or
warranty. If you believe the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a
service center or your phone dealer before continuing to use it. Never use a
damaged battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors. Do not charge your
device during a lightning storm. When the charger is not included in the sales
pack, charge your device using the data cable (included) and a USB power
adaptor (may be sold separately). You can charge your device with third-party
cables and power adaptors that are compliant with USB 2.0 or later and with
applicable country regulations and international and regional safety
standards. Other adaptors may not meet applicable safety standards, and
charging with such adaptors could pose a risk of property loss or personal
injury.
Third-party chargers that comply with the applicable CTIA requirements and
bear the USB-IF logo, and can connect to your device’s USB connector, may also
be compatible.
Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the
system per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to
IEEE 1725. The use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or another hazard.
Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the
system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. The use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or another hazard.
Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a
service center for inspection.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or another hazard.
