is set to be discoverable, then tap Search for devices.
3.Choose the device you want to pair up with from the list. Depending on
the type of device, you will have to confirm pairing, enter a code, or it
will automatically pair.
4.Once the paring is successful, your device will connect to the device.
Sending pictures using Bluetooth
1.Open the Gallery and touch a picture, then touch
> Bluetooth
2.Check if Bluetooth is on, then select Search for devices.
3.Choose the device you want to send data to from the list.
Sharing your phone's data connection
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are
no wireless connections available. You can share your phone's mobile data
connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You can
also share your phone's data connection with more than a single device at a
time by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the
Status Bar and as an ongoing notification in the Notifications Panel.

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health
effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?

RadiologicalHealthConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
Theavailablescientificevidencedoesnotshowthatanyhealthproblems
areassociatedwithusingwirelessphones.Thereisnoproof,however,that
wirelessphonesareabsolutelysafe.WirelessphonesemitlowlevelsofRadio
Frequency(RF)energyinthemicrowaverangewhilebeingused.Theyalso

findingshavenotbeenconfirmedbyadditionalresearch.Insomecases,other
researchershavehaddifficultyinreproducingthosestudies,orindetermining
thereasonsforinconsistentresults.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreviewthesafetyofradiation-emitting
consumerproductssuchaswirelessphonesbeforetheycanbesold,
asitdoeswithnewdrugsormedicaldevices.However,theagency
hasauthoritytotakeactionifwirelessphonesareshowntoemitRadio
Frequency(RF)energyatalevelthatishazardoustotheuser.Insucha
case,theFDAcouldrequirethemanufacturersofwirelessphonestonotify
usersofthehealthhazardandtorepair,replace,orrecallthephonessothat
thehazardnolongerexists.
AlthoughtheexistingscientificdatadonotjustifyFDAregulatoryactions,
theFDAhasurgedthewirelessphoneindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,
includingthefollowing.
• SupportneededresearchintopossiblebiologicaleffectsofRFofthetype
emittedbywirelessphones;
• DesignwirelessphonesinawaythatminimizesanyRFexposuretothe
userthatisnotnecessaryfordevicefunction;and
• Cooperateinprovidingusersofwirelessphoneswiththebestpossible
informationonpossibleeffectsofwirelessphoneuseonhumanhealth.
TheFDAbelongstoaninteragencyworkinggroupofthefederalagencies
thathaveresponsibilityfordifferentaspectsofRFsafetytoensure

thisworkinggroup:

• EnvironmentalProtectionAgency
• OccupationalSafetyandHealthAdministration

Safety
TheNationalInstitutesofHealthparticipatesinsomeinteragencyworking
groupactivities,aswell.TheFDAsharesregulatoryresponsibilitiesfor
wirelessphoneswiththeFederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC).All
phonesthataresoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFCCsafety
guidelinesthatlimitRFexposure.
TheFCCreliesontheFDAandotherhealthagenciesforsafetyquestions
aboutwirelessphones.
TheFCCalsoregulatesthebasestationsthatthewirelessphonenetworks
relyupon.Whilethesebasestationsoperateathigherpowerthandothe
wirelessphonesthemselves,theRFexposuresthatpeoplegetfromthese
basestationsaretypicallythousandsoftimeslowerthanthosetheycan
getfromwirelessphones.Basestationsarethusnotthesubjectofthe
safetyquestionsdiscussedinthisdocument.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswith
built-inantennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.These
typesofwirelessphonescanexposetheusertomeasurableRadio
Frequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshortdistancebetweenthephone
andtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatwere
developedwiththeadviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafety
agencies.Whenthephoneislocatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,
theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylowerbecauseaperson'sRFexposure
decreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefromthesource.Theso-called
“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedtothetelephone
wiringinahouse,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthus
produceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafetylimits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmany
studieshavesufferedfromflawsintheirresearchmethods.Animal
experimentsinvestigatingtheeffectsofRadioFrequency(RF)energy
exposurescharacteristicofwirelessphoneshaveyieldedconflicting

aboutlong-termexposures,sincetheaverageperiodofphoneuseinthese
studieswasaroundthreeyears.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones poses a health risk?

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure
I can get by using my wireless phone?
