■ Connectivity
To connect your phone to compatible devices, use an infrared or
Bluetooth wireless connection. You can also define the settings for
packet data dial-up connections.
Bluetooth wireless technology
This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.2 supporting the following
profiles: SIM access profile, object push profile, file transfer profile, dial-up
networking profile, headset profile, hands-free profile, generic access profile,
serial port profile, and generic object exchange profile. To ensure interoperability
between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved
enhancements for this model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to
determine their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations.
Check with your local authorities or service provider.
Features that use Bluetooth technology or allow such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power
and reduces battery life.
Bluetooth technology allows you to connect the phone to a compatible
Bluetooth device within 10 meters. Since devices using Bluetooth
technology communicate using radio waves, your phone and other
devices do not need to be in line-of-sight, although the connection can
be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or from other
electronic devices.

Enter the Bluetooth passcode of the device to associate (pair) the device
to your phone. You only must give this passcode when you connect to
the device for the first time. Your phone connects to the device, and you
can start data transfer.

with whom you agree.
Infrared
You can set up the phone to send and receive data through its infrared (IR)
port. To use an IR connection, the device with which you want to establish
a connection must be IrDA compliant. You can send or receive data to or
from a compatible phone or data device (for example, a computer) through
the IR port of your phone.
Do not point the IR (infrared) beam at anyone's eyes or allow it to interfere with
other IR devices. Infrared devices are Class 1 laser products.
When sending or receiving data, ensure that the IR ports of the sending
and receiving devices are pointing at each other and that there are no
obstructions between the devices.
To activate the IR port of your phone to receive data using IR, select
Menu

If data transfer is not started within 2 minutes after the activation of
the IR port, the connection is cancelled and must be started again.

When
is shown continuously, the IR connection is activated, and
your phone is ready to send or receive data through its IR port.
When
blinks, your phone is trying to connect to the other device, or
a connection has been lost.
Packet data (EGPRS)
Enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS), packet data, is a
network service which allows mobile phones to send and receive data
over an Internet protocol (IP)-based network. It enables wireless access
to data networks such as the Internet.
The applications that may use packet data are MMS, browsing sessions,
remote SyncML, Java application downloading, and the PC dial-up.
