Bluetooth connectivity
About Bluetooth connectivity
With Bluetooth connectivity, you can make a wireless
connection to other compatible devices, such as mobile
devices, computers, headsets, and car kits.
You can use the connection to send images, video and sound
clips, and notes, transfer files from your compatible PC, and
print images with a compatible printer.
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 10 metres
(33 feet) of each other, although the connection may be
subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or
from other electronic devices.
This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 +
EDR supporting the following profiles: advanced audio
distribution, basic imaging, device identification, dial-up
networking, file transfer, generic access, generic audio/video
distribution, generic object exchange, hands-free, headset,
object push, phone book access, serial port, and SIM access.
To ensure interoperability between other devices supporting
Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved accessories for
this model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to
determine their compatibility with this device.
Features using Bluetooth technology increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery life.
When the device is locked, only connections to authorised
devices are possible.
Settings
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Bluetooth.
When you open the application for the first time, you are
asked to define a name for your device. You can change the
name later.
Select from the following:
● Bluetooth — Turn Bluetooth connectivity on or off.
● My phone's visibility — To allow your device to be found
by other devices with Bluetooth wireless technology,
select Shown to all. To set a time period after which the
visibility is set from shown to hidden, select Set visibility
period. To hide your device from other devices, select
Hidden.
● My phone's name — Edit the name shown to other
devices with Bluetooth wireless technology.
● Remote SIM mode — Enable or disable another device,
such as a compatible car kit accessory, to use the SIM card
in your device to connect to the network.
Security tips
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Bluetooth.
When you are not using Bluetooth connectivity, to control
who can find your device and connect to it, select
Bluetooth > Off or My phone's visibility > Hidden.
Deactivating Bluetooth connectivity does not affect other
functions of the device.
Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an
unknown device. This helps to protect your device from
harmful content. Operating the device in hidden mode is a
safer way to avoid malicious software.
Send data using Bluetooth connectivity
Several Bluetooth connections can be active at a time. For
example, if you are connected to a compatible headset, you
can also transfer files to another compatible device at the
same time.
1. Open the application where the item you want to send is
stored.
2. Tap an item, and select Options > Send > Via
Bluetooth.
Devices with Bluetooth wireless technology that are
within range are displayed. Device icons are as follows:
computer
phone
audio or video device
other device
To interrupt the search, select Stop.
3. Select the device with which you want to connect.
4. If the other device requires pairing before data can be
transmitted, a tone sounds, and you are asked to enter a
passcode. The same passcode must be entered in both
devices.
When the connection is established, Sending data is
displayed.
Tip: When searching for devices, some devices may
show only the unique address (device address). To find
the unique address of your device, enter *#2820#.
