For the Windows 7 operating system, you also can check the wireless-WAN connection status through the
Access Connections gauge in the Windows notification area. The more bars encompassed, the better the
signal is.
Using the Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth can connect devices that are within a short distance from one another. Bluetooth is commonly
used in the following scenarios:
• Connecting peripheral devices to a computer
• Transferring data between hand-held devices and a personal computer
• Remotely controlling and communicating with devices such as mobile phones
Depending on the model, your computer might support the Bluetooth feature. To transfer data through the
Bluetooth feature, do the following:
Note: It is not recommended to use the wireless feature (the 802.11 standards) of your computer
simultaneously with a Bluetooth option. The data transmission speed can be delayed and the performance of
the wireless feature can be degraded.
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature is enabled.
• For Windows 7: Go to Control Panel, and change the view of Control Panel from Category to Large
icons or Small icons. Click Network and Sharing Center ➙ Change adapter settings. Then enable
Bluetooth Network Connection.
• For Windows 10: Do one of the following:
– Press the Bluetooth-control key
and turn on the Bluetooth feature.
– Open the Start menu, and then click Settings ➙ Network & Internet ➙ Airplane mode. The
Bluetooth feature is enabled.
2. Right-click the data that you want to send.
3. Select Send To ➙ Bluetooth Devices.
4. Select a Bluetooth device, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
For more information, see the Windows help information system and the help information system of the
Bluetooth device.
Using the NFC devices
If your computer supports the NFC feature, you will see an NFC mark or label around the trackpad area.
NFC is a high-frequency and short-range wireless communication technology. By using NFC, you can
establish radio communications between your computer and another NFC-enabled device over a few
centimeters or inches.
This section provides instructions on how to pair your computer with an NFC device. For more information
about data transfer, see the documentation of the NFC device.
Attention:
• Before handling the NFC card, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. Otherwise the card might
get damaged by the static electricity from your body.
• During the data transfer, do not put your computer or NFC-enabled smartphone into sleep mode;
otherwise, your data might get damaged.
