SIM access profile

With the SIM access profile, you can access the SIM card of

your device from a compatible car kit device. This way, you

do not need a separate SIM card to access SIM card data and

connect to the GSM network.

To use the SIM access profile, you need the following:

Compatible car kit device that supports Bluetooth wireless

technology

Valid SIM card in your device

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 from your device, you must first leave the

remote SIM mode. If the device has been locked, enter the

lock code to unlock it first.

For more information about car kit devices and compatibility

with your device, see the Nokia web site and your car kit user

guide.

Use the SIM access profile

1. Select Menu > Control panel > Connectivity >

Bluetooth and Remote SIM mode > On.

2. Activate Bluetooth connectivity in the car kit.

3. Use your car kit to start a search for compatible devices.

For instructions, see the user guide of your car kit.

4. Select your device from the list of compatible devices.

5. To pair the devices, enter the Bluetooth passcode shown

on the display of the car kit to your device.

Wireless LAN

Your device can detect and connect to a wireless local area

network (WLAN). To use WLAN, a network must be available

in the location and your device must be connected to it.

WLAN connections

Important: Always enable one of the available

encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless

LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of

unauthorized access to your data.

To use a WLAN, you must create an internet access point in a

WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to

connect to the internet. A WLAN connection is established

when you create a data connection using a WLAN access

point. The active WLAN connection is ended when you end

the data connection. You can also end the connection

manually.

You can use a WLAN during a voice call or when packet data

connection is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN

access point device at a time, but several applications can use

the same internet access point.

When the device is in the Offline profile, you can still use a

WLAN, if available. Remember to comply with any applicable

safety requirements when establishing and using a WLAN

connection.

If you move the device to another location within the WLAN

and out of range of a WLAN access point, the roaming

functionality can automatically connect your device to

another access point that belongs to the same WLAN. As long

as you remain within range of access points that belong to

the same network, your device can stay connected to the

network.

Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC)

address that identifies your device, for example, to

configure the MAC address of your device to a WLAN

router, enter *#62209526# in the home screen. The

MAC address is displayed.
