Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device using Bluetooth wireless technology or a
USB data cable. You can also define the settings for EGPRS dial-up connections.

Bluetooth wireless technology

This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR supporting the following
profiles: generic access, network access, generic object exchange, hands-free, headset,
object push, file transfer, dial-up networking, SIM card access, personal area network
profile, generic audio/video distribution profile, service discovery application profile,
advanced audio and distribution profile, audio/video remote control profile, and serial port.
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 using Bluetooth technology or allowing such features to run in the background
while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery
life.

Bluetooth technology allows you to connect the phone to a compatible Bluetooth device
within 10 meters (32 feet). Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using
radio waves, your phone and the other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-sight,
although the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or
from other electronic devices.

Key message:

Operating the device in hidden mode is a safer way to avoid malicious software.

Do not accept Bluetooth connectivity from sources you do not trust.

Alternatively, switch off the Bluetooth function. This does not affect other functions of

the phone.

Data transfer

Synchronise your calendar, contacts data, and notes with another compatible device (for
example, a mobile phone), a compatible PC, or a remote internet server (network service).

Your phone allows data transfer with a compatible PC or another compatible device when
using the phone without a SIM card.

Transfer contact list

To copy or synchronise data from your phone, the name of the device and the settings must
be in the list of transfer contacts. If you receive data from another device (for example, a
compatible mobile phone), the corresponding transfer contact is automatically added to the
list, using the contact data from the other device. Server sync and PC synchronisation are the
original items in the list.

To add a new transfer contact to the list (for example, a mobile phone), select Menu >
Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer > Options > Add transfer contact > Phone
synchronisation
or Phone copy, and enter the settings according to the transfer type.

To edit the copy and synchronise settings, select a contact from the transfer contact list and
Options > Edit.

To delete a transfer contact, select it from the transfer contact list, and Options > Delete.

Data transfer with a compatible device

For synchronisation, use Bluetooth wireless technology or a cable connection. The other
device must be activated for receiving data.

To start data transfer, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer and the
transfer contact from the list, other than Server sync or PC synchronisation. According to the
settings, the selected data is copied or synchronised.

Synchronise from a compatible PC

To synchronise data from calendar, notes, and contacts, install the Nokia PC Suite software
for your phone on the PC. Use Bluetooth wireless technology or a USB data cable for the
synchronisation, and start the synchronisation from the PC.

Synchronise from a server

To use a remote internet server, subscribe to a synchronisation service. For more information
and the settings required for this service, contact your service provider. You may receive the
settings as a configuration message. See “Configuration settings service”, p. 10 and
“Configuration”, p. 37.
