Using NFC for short range communications

The T70 has a Near Field Communications (NFC) antenna and module.

The NFC antenna is meant for very short range radio communications with other NFC devices. The range is up to 4 cm (1.6 inches).

NFC in the T70 is used for automatically pairing to a Bluetooth device, accessing technical information like radio channels, and other tasks.

Trimble NFC systems do not support point of sale protocols.

To use NFC:

1. Access the section of the application software that supports NFC.

2. Align the T70 NFC antenna indicated by this icon on the side of the device with the NFC antenna in the other device. Make sure the antennas are less than 4 cm apart and are approximately parallel to each other. If a connection does not occur, try holding the devices closer together.

   

3. Follow the instructions in the application software.

Trimble NFC systems conform with international standards and should work with non-Trimble devices.
