Sony Xperia XA1 - Manual (Page 116)

Connecting to an NFC-Compatible Device
You can connect your device to other NFC-compatible devices produced by Sony, such
as a speaker or a headphone. When establishing this kind of connection, refer to the
User Guide of the compatible device for more information.
You may need to have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® activated on both devices for the connection to
work.
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Use the Bluetooth® function to send files to other Bluetooth® compatible devices, or to
connect to hands-free accessories. Bluetooth® connections work better within 10
meters (33 feet), with no solid objects in between. In some cases you have to manually
pair your device with other Bluetooth® devices.
Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth® devices can vary.
If you are using a device with multiple users, each user can change the Bluetooth® settings,
and the changes affect all users.
To Turn the Bluetooth ® Function On or Off
1 From your Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > Bluetooth.
3 Tap the Bluetooth slider to enable or disable the function.
Naming your device
You can give your device a name. This name is shown to other devices after you have
turned on the Bluetooth
® function and your device is set to visible.
To Give Your Device a Name
1
Make sure the Bluetooth ® function is turned on.
2 From your Home screen, tap .
3 Find and tap Settings > Bluetooth.
4 Tap > Rename this device.
5 Enter a name for your device.
6 Tap RENAME.
Pairing with Another Bluetooth ® Device
When you pair your device with another device, you can for example connect your
device to a Bluetooth
® headset or a Bluetooth ® car kit, and use these other devices to
share music.
Once you pair your device with another Bluetooth ® device, your device remembers this
pairing. When pairing your device with a Bluetooth ® device for the first time, you may
need to enter a passcode. Your device will automatically try the generic passcode 0000.
If this does not work, refer to the User guide for your Bluetooth
® device to get the device
passcode. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a
previously paired Bluetooth
® device.
Some Bluetooth ® devices, for example, most Bluetooth ® headsets, require you to both pair
and connect with the other device.
You can pair your device with several Bluetooth ® devices, but you can only connect to one
Bluetooth ® profile at the same time.
