Accessing Files Received via Bluetooth

- For a vCalendar file, select the calendar where you want to save the event, and then touch Import. The vCalendar is added to your Calendar events.
- For a vCard contact file, if there are multiple vCard files on your storage card, you can choose to import one, several, or all of those contacts to your Contacts list.
