Using the NFC devices

Depending on the model, your computer might come with the near field communication (NFC) feature. 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.
