Next. If the device you are looking for does not appear in the list, ensure that it
is in range and that it has been made discoverable, then select Refresh.
4. In Passcode, enter an alphanumeric passcode between 1 and 16 characters,
then select Next. Otherwise, leave the passcode blank. For security reasons, it is
strongly recommended that you use a passcode.
5. Enter the same passcode on the other device (there will be a prompt to do so).
6. Select the service to use from the partner device, then select Finish. One of the
most common examples of this is to choose the Microsoft ActiveSync service
from the list of your PC's available Bluetooth services.

then select the Mode tab.

3. On your PC (or other Bluetooth-enabled devices), locate the file or item you want
to send. For example, on your PC, you would use Windows Explorer to locate
the file.
4. In the example above, right-click the file and select the destination device under
"to Bluetooth".
5. Select Yes when the device prompts about receiving a file.
6. After the transmission process is finished, the file should be saved in My
Documents on the device.
