Near Field Communications
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for devices to establish radio communication with each other by
bringing them into close proximity. Communication is possible between an NFC device and an un-powered NFC
chip, NFC tag or two NFC devices.
Using NFC, the TC55 can:
•
send and receive photos, videos, contacts and web pages with another NFC enabled device.
•
transmit and read information to and from an NFC chip or tag.
•
pair with NFC enabled Bluetooth devices.
The NFC antenna is located at the bottom of the battery door indicated by an antenna icon.
Sharing Information Using NFC
You can beam a web page, a video, or other content from your screen to another device by bringing the devices
together back to back.
Prerequisites: Make sure both devices are unlocked, support NFC, and have both NFC and Android Beam turned on.
Procedure:
1 Open a screen that contains a web page, video, photo or contact.
2 Move the back of the TC55 toward the back of the other device.
