Fast downloading

High-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA, also called 3.5G,

indicated by ) is a network service in UMTS networks and

provides high-speed data downloads. When HSDPA support

in the device is activated and the device is connected to a

UMTS network that supports HSDPA, downloading data such

as messages, e-mail, and browser pages through the cellular

network may be faster. An active HSDPA connection is

indicated by . The icon may vary between regions.

To turn HSDPA on or off, select Menu > Control panel >

Settings and Connection > Packet data > High speed

packet access. Some cellular networks do not allow

incoming voice calls when HSDPA is active, in which case you

need to deactivate HSDPA to receive calls. For more

information, contact your service provider.

For availability and subscription to data connection services,

contact your service provider.

HSDPA only affects the download speed; sending data to the

network, such as messages and e-mail, is not affected.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology enables wireless connections between

electronic devices within a range of 10 meters (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 line-of-sight. The two devices only need

to be within a maximum of 10 meters of each other, although

the connection can be subject to interference from

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: Advanced Audio

Distribution, Audio/Video Remote Control, Basic Imaging,

Basic Printing, Device ID, Dial-up Networking, File Transfer,

Generic Audio/Video Distribution, Generic Access, Generic

Object Exchange, Handsfree, Human Interface Device,

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.

Send and receive data with

Bluetooth

Select Menu > Control panel > Connectivity >

Bluetooth.

1. When you activate Bluetooth connectivity for the first

time, you are asked to give a name to your device. Give

your device a unique name to make it easy to recognize

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

Pair devices

Select Menu > Control panel > 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

authorize the connection. Pairing and authorizing 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.

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 only 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 authorized. Connections between your

device and the other device can be made without your

knowledge. No separate acceptance or authorization is

needed. Use this status 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

unauthorized.

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 > Control panel > 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.
