About Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology in your device enables

wireless connections between electronic devices

within a range of 10 metres (33 feet). A Bluetooth

connection can be used to send images, videos, text,

business cards, calendar notes, or to connect

wirelessly to devices that use Bluetooth technology.

Since devices using Bluetooth technology

communicate using radio waves, your device and

the other devices do not need to be in direct lineof-

sight. The two devices only need to be within a

maximum of 10 metres of each other, although the

obstructions such as walls or other electronic

devices.

Several Bluetooth connections can be active at a

time. For example, if your device is connected to a

headset, you can also transfer files to another

compatible device at the same time.

This device is compliant with Bluetooth

Specification 2.0 + EDR supporting the following

profiles: Dial-Up Networking (DUN), Object Push

Profile (OPP), File Transfer Profile (FTP), Hands Free

Profile (HFP), Headset Profile (HSP), Basic Imaging

Profile (BIP), Remote SIM Access Profile (SimAP),

Device Identification Profile (DI), Phonebook Access

Profile (PBAP), Generic Audio/Video Distribution

Profile (GAVDP), Audio/Video Remote Control Profile

(AVRCP), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

(A2DP). 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.

Send and receive data with

Bluetooth

Select Menu > Tools > Connectivity >

Bluetooth.

1. When you activate Bluetooth connectivity for

the first time, you are asked to name your device.

Give your device a unique name to make it easy

to recognise if there are several Bluetooth

devices nearby.

2. Select Bluetooth > On.

3. Select My phone's visibility > Shown to all or

Define period. If you select Define period, you

need to define the time during which your

device is visible to others. Your device and the

name you entered can now be seen by other

users with devices using Bluetooth technology.

4. Open the application where the item you want

to send is stored.

5. Select the item and Options > Send > Via

Bluetooth. The device searches for other

devices using Bluetooth technology within

range and lists them.

Tip: If you have sent data using Bluetooth

connectivity before, a list of the previous

search results is displayed. To search for

more Bluetooth devices,

6. Select the device with which you want to

connect. If the other device requires pairing

before data can be transmitted, you are asked to

enter a passcode.

When the connection has been established,

Sending data is displayed.

The Sent folder in the Messaging application does

not store messages sent using Bluetooth

connectivity.

To receive data using Bluetooth connectivity, select

Bluetooth > On and My phone's visibility >

Shown to all to receive data from a non-paired

device or Hidden to receive data from a paired

device only. When you receive data through

Bluetooth connectivity, depending on the settings

of an active profile, a tone sounds, and you are

asked if you want to accept the message in which

the data is included. If you accept, the message is

placed in the Inbox folder in the Messaging

application.

Tip: You can access the files in the device or

on the memory card using a compatible

accessory that supports the File Transfer

Profile Client service (for example, a laptop

computer).

A Bluetooth connection is disconnected

automatically after sending or receiving data. Only

Nokia Ovi Suite and some accessories such as

headsets may maintain a connection even if not

actively used.

Pair devices

Select Menu > Tools > Connectivity >

Bluetooth.

Open the paired devices tab.

Before pairing, decide on your own passcode (1-16

digits), and agree with the user of the other device

to use the same code. Devices that do not have a

user interface have a fixed passcode. You need the

passcode only when you connect the devices for the

first time. After pairing, it is possible to authorise

the connection. Pairing and authorising the

connection makes connecting quicker and easier, as

you do not have to accept the connection between

paired devices every time you establish a

connection.

The passcode for remote SIM access must have 16

digits.

When the wireless device is in the remote SIM mode,

you can only use a compatible connected accessory,

such as a car kit, to make or receive calls.

Your wireless device will not make any calls, except

to the emergency numbers programmed into your

device, while in this mode.

To make calls, you must first leave the remote SIM

mode. If the device has been locked, enter the lock

code to unlock it first.

1. Select Options > New paired device. The

device starts to search for Bluetooth devices

within range. If you have sent data using

Bluetooth connectivity before, a list of the

previous search results is displayed. To search

for more Bluetooth devices, select More

devices.

2. Select the device with which you want to pair,

and enter the passcode. The same passcode

must be entered to the other device as well.

3. Select Yes to make the connection between your

device and the other device automatic, or No to

confirm the connection manually every time a

connection attempt is made. After pairing, the

device is saved to the paired devices page.

To give a nickname to the paired device, select

Options > Assign short name. The nickname is

displayed in your device.

To delete a pairing, select the device whose pairing

you want to delete and Options > Delete. To

delete all pairings, select Options > Delete all. If

you are currently connected to a device and cancel

the pairing with that device, pairing is removed

immediately, and the connection is ended.

To allow a paired device to connect automatically

to your device, select Set as authorised.

Connections between your device and the other

device can be made without your knowledge. No

separate acceptance or authorisation is needed. Use

this status only for your own devices, such as your

compatible headset or computer, or devices that

belong to someone you trust. If you want to accept

connection requests from the other device

separately every time, select Set as

unauthorised.

To use a Bluetooth audio accessory such as a

Bluetooth handsfree or headset, you need to pair

your device with the accessory. For the passcode

and further instructions, see the accessory user

guide. To connect to the audio accessory, switch on

the accessory. Some audio accessories connect

automatically to your device. Otherwise, open the

paired devices tab, select the accessory and

Options > Connect to audio device.

Block devices

Select Menu > Tools > Connectivity >

Bluetooth.

To block a device from establishing a Bluetooth

connection to your device, open the paired devices

tab. Select a device you want to block and Options > Block

To unblock a device, open the blocked devices tab,

and select Options > Delete. To unblock all

blocked devices, select Options > Delete all.

If you reject a pairing request from another device,

you are asked if you want to block all future

connection requests from this device. If you accept

the query, the remote device is added to the list of

blocked devices.

Security tips

When you are not using Bluetooth connectivity,

select Bluetooth > Off or My phone's visibility >

Hidden.

Do not pair with an unknown device.

Data cable

To avoid corrupting data, do not disconnect the USB

data cable during data transfer.

Transfer data between your device and a PC

1. Insert a memory card in your device, and connect

the device to a compatible PC with the data

cable.

2. When the device asks which mode to use, select

Mass storage. In this mode, you can see your

device as a removable hard drive in your

computer.

3. End the connection from the computer (from the

Unplug or Eject Hardware wizard in Microsoft

Windows, for example) to avoid damaging the

memory card.

To use Nokia Ovi Suite with your device, install

Nokia Ovi Suite on your PC, connect the data cable,

and select PC Suite.

To synchronise the music in your device with Nokia

Music Player, install the Nokia Music Player software

on your PC, connect the data cable, and select Media

transfer.

To change the USB mode you normally use with the

data cable, select Menu > Tools > Connectivity >

USB and USB connection mode, and the desired

option.

To set the device to ask for the mode each time you

connect the data cable to the device, select Menu >

Tools > Connectivity > USB and Ask on

connection > Yes.
