Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is a short-range, wireless technology that lets you
quickly and wirelessly exchange information between your phone and other NFC-enabled
smartphones, smart accessories, and NFC-enabled access points. You can also use NFC
technology to save, view, create, or change smart tags.
Depending on the apps that you have added to your phone, you might be able to use your
phone as a transit pass or as an access pass, by tapping the back of your phone against an
NFC-enabled access point, subject to applicable terms and conditions from the particular
vendor.
To use NFC technology on your phone, your phone must be within approximately 0.78 in. (2
cm) of the NFC-enabled smartphone, smart accessory, NFC-enabled access point, or smart tag
that you want to exchange information with. When information is transferred over an NFC
connection, your smartphone vibrates.

Turn NFC On and Off

When NFC is turned on, data can be exchanged when your phone touches another device.

2. Touch the check box next to NFC to turn the feature On or Off.
