connectivity to send images, video clips, music and sound
clips, and notes; connect wirelessly to your compatible PC
(for example, to transfer files); and connect to a
compatible printer to print images with

Image print

. See

‘Image print’, p. 36.

Since devices with Bluetooth technology communicate
using radio waves, your device and the other device do not
need to be in direct line-of-sight. The two devices only
need to be within 10 meters (33 feet) of each other, but the
connection may be subject to interference from
obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.

This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0
supporting the following profiles: Basic Printing Profile,
Generic Access Profile, Serial Port Profile, Dial-up
Networking Profile, Headset Profile, Hands-free Profile,
Generic Object Exchange Profile, Object Push Profile, File
Transfer Profile, Basic Imaging Profile, SIM Access Profile,
and Human Interface Device 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.

Glossary: A profile corresponds to a service or a

function, and defines how different devices connect.
For example, the Hands-free Profile is used between the
handsfree device and the phone. For devices to be
compatible, they must support the same profiles.

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.

When the device is locked, you cannot use Bluetooth
connectivity. See ‘Security’, p. 117 for more information
on locking the device.

Remote SIM mode

To use the remote SIM mode with a compatible car kit
enhancement, set Bluetooth connectivity on, and enable
the use of the remote SIM mode with your device. Before
the mode can be activated, the two devices must be
paired and the pairing initiated from the other device.
When pairing, use a 16-digit passcode, and set the other
device as authorized. See ‘Pair devices’, p. 91. Activate the
remote SIM mode from the other device.

When the remote SIM mode is on in your Nokia device,

Remote SIM

is displayed in the standby mode. The

connection to the wireless network is turned off, as
indicated by

in the signal strength indicator area, and

you cannot use SIM card services or features requiring
cellular network coverage. However, a wireless LAN
connection remains active during the remote SIM mode.

When the wireless device is in the remote SIM mode, you
can only use a compatible connected enhancement, 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.

To exit the remote SIM mode, press

way, you can better control who can find your device with
Bluetooth wireless technology, and connect to it.

Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an
unknown device. In this way, you can better protect your
device from harmful content.

Send data

Several Bluetooth connections can be active at a time. For
example, if you are connected to a headset, you can also
transfer files to another compatible device at the same
time.
