Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth
Smart)
Bluetooth LE is an optimised standard of Bluetooth that
uses less power and is generally used to connect to
personal wearable devices such as fitness monitor wrist
bands and watches. The 3rd party module and software
controls the connection to your phone so traditional pairing
and password exchange is not required as it is controlled
using a secure key exchanged between your personal
device and your handset. The need for manual pairing
(using a PIN) is reduced. Follow your device instructions to
connect it to your handset.
Connect to a Computer to transfer
files
Transfer audio, video and picture files between your
handset and your computer.
