The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a radio frequency (RF) communication connection method for the electronic device. A method of connecting an electronic device to an external device includes searching for at least one external device connectable with an electronic device within a preset communication range by using first short-range communication, determining an operation period of a second short-range communication module for performing second short-range communication with the at least one external device, based on a search result with respect to the at least one external device, activating the second short-range communication module according to the determined operation period and detecting a contact of a user of the electronic device with respect to an external device among the at least one external device by using the activated second short-range communication module, and receiving address information of the external device by performing second short-range communication with the external device, upon detecting the contact of the user.
