Learn how to use Bluetooth on your Nokia Lumia2520. You can connect wirelessly to other compatible devices, such as phones, headsets, mice, and keyboards. You can also send your photos to compatible phones or to your computer.

To switch Bluetooth on, swipe in from the right of the screen, and tap Settings icon > Change PC settings > PC and devices > Bluetooth. Then switch Bluetooth to On.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate using radio waves, they do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. However, they must be within 33 feet (10 meters) of each other, although the connection may be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.
Paired devices can connect to your tablet when Bluetooth is switched on. Other devices can detect your tablet only if the Bluetooth settings view is open.
Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an unknown device. This helps to protect your tablet from harmful content.
