Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications

a distance of about 10 m without requiring a physical 
connection.
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information 
with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another, 
you can exchange information between them even if they are 
located in different rooms.

Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception,  
●
or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth 
wireless feature. 
Always ensure that you share and receive data with 
 
●
devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there 
are obstacles between the devices, the operating 
distance may be reduced.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested 
 
●
or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible 
with your device.
