2. Near Field Communication ■ NFC Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless connectivity technology that enables two-way communication between electronic devices. You can perform contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect devices with a single touch. NFC operates over a distance of a few centimeters. NFC technology is supported by leading mobile device manufacturers and is compatible with the majority of available non-contact payment and ticketing card infrastructures. To change your NFC device name, select Menu > NFC > NFC device name. The NFC device name is used by other NFC devices to recognize your phone. For more information about NFC, select Menu > NFC > NFC Introduction. ■ NFC detection To switch NFC on or off, select Menu > NFC > NFC settings. To save battery power, your device automatically switches off the screen backlight and sets NFC to standby mode. Any action on the device re-activates the screen backlight and NFC.

Touch the service tag or other NFC device with the detection area. The reading range is typically 0 to 3 centimetres.
