NFC (Near Field Communication)

NFC is a wireless technology with a maximum range of one centimeter, so the devices sharing data must be held close to each other.

The NFC detection area is located on the back of the device. Hold your device close to another device or an NFC reader so that the N-Marks touch. Make sure that both devices have the NFC function turned on and that the screen of your device is active and unlocked.

Note

  • Using certain applications, some NFC functions can be enabled even when the device is switched off. Note that not all devices support this feature.

To turn the NFC function on or off

  1. Find and tap [Settings] > [Device connection] > [Connection preferences] > [NFC].
  2. Tap the [Use NFC] switch to enable or disable the function.


Note

  • You may need to have Wi-Fi or the Bluetooth function activated on both devices for the connection to work.

Hint

  • 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.
