Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device using a Bluetooth wireless technology or
a USB data cable connection. 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: audio/video remote control profile, advanced audio distribution profile, general audio/
video distribution profile, generic access, generic object exchange, hands-free, headset, object
push, file transfer, dial-up networking, SIM access, 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.

Set up a Bluetooth connection

Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth and from the following options:

Packet data (GPRS)

General packet radio service (GPRS) is a network service that 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, video streaming, browsing sessions, e-
mail, remote SyncML, Java application downloading, and the PC dial-up.

To define how to use the service, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Packet data >
Packet data connection and from the following options:

Data transfer

Synchronize 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. Note that when you use the phone without a SIM card,
some functions appear dimmed in the menus and cannot be used. Synchronizing with a
remote internet server is not possible without a SIM card.

Transfer contact list

To copy or synchronize 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 synchronization and PC synchronization
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 synchronization or
Phone copy, and enter the settings according to the transfer type.

To edit the copy and synchronize settings, select a contact from the transfer contact list and

device is in the standby mode.

To start data transfer, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer and the transfer
contact from the list, other than Server synchronization or PC synchronization. According to
the settings, the selected data is copied or synchronized. The other device also must be
activated for receiving data.

Synchronize from a compatible PC

Before you synchronize data from calendar, notes, and contacts from a compatible PC, you
must install the Nokia PC Suite software of your phone on the PC. Use Bluetooth wireless
technology or a USB data cable for the synchronization, and start the synchronization from
the PC.

Synchronize from a server

To use a remote internet server, you must subscribe to a synchronization 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. 9
and "Configuration," p. 57.

If you have saved data on the remote internet server, to synchronize your phone, start the
synchronization from your phone.

Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer > Server synchronization.
Depending on the settings, select Initializing synchronization or Initializing copy.

Synchronizing for the first time or after an interrupted synchronization may take up to 30
minutes to complete, if the contacts or calendar are full.

USB data cable

You can use the CA-101 USB data cable to transfer data between the phone and a compatible
PC

with Nokia PC Suite. To activate the phone for data transfer, connect the data cable to the
