Bluetooth
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology in your device enables wireless connections between electronic devices within a range of 10 metres (33 feet). A Bluetooth connection can be used to send images, videos, text, business cards, calendar notes, or to connect wirelessly to devices that use Bluetooth technology.
Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using radio waves, your device and the other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. The two devices only need to be within a maximum of 10 metres of each other, although the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or other electronic devices.
Several Bluetooth connections can be active at a time. For example, if your device is connected to a headset, you can also transfer files to another compatible device at the same time.
This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR supporting the following profiles: Advanced Audio Distribution, Audio/Video Remote Control, Basic Imaging, Basic Printing, Device ID, Dial-up Networking, File Transfer, Generic Audio/Video Distribution, Generic Access, Generic Object Exchange, Handsfree, (Human Interface Device) Headset, Object Push, Phone Book Access, Serial Port, and SIM Access . To ensure interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved accessories for this model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this device.
Features using Bluetooth technology increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Security tips
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 device.
When you are not using Bluetooth connectivity, select Bluetooth > Off or My phone's visibility > Hidden .
Do not pair with an unknown device.
Send and receive data with Bluetooth
Select 
> Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth .
-
When you activate Bluetooth connectivity for the first time, you are asked to name your device. Give your device a unique name to make it easy to recognise if there are several Bluetooth devices nearby.
-
Select Bluetooth > On .
-
Select My phone's visibility > Shown to all or Define period. If you select Define period, you need to define the time during which your device is visible to others. Your device and the name you entered can now be seen by other users with devices using Bluetooth technology.
-
Open the application where the item you want to send is stored.
-
Select the item and Options > Send > Via Bluetooth . The device searches for other devices using Bluetooth technology within range and lists them.
Tip:If you have sent data using Bluetooth connectivity before, a list of the previous search results is displayed. To search for more Bluetooth devices, select More devices.
-
Select the device with which you want to connect. If the other device requires pairing before data can be transmitted, you are asked to enter a passcode.
When the connection has been established, Sending data is displayed.
The Sent folder in the Messaging application does not store messages sent using Bluetooth connectivity.
To receive data using Bluetooth connectivity, select Bluetooth > On and My phone's visibility > Shown to all to receive data from a non-paired device or Hidden to receive data from a paired device only. When you receive data through Bluetooth connectivity, depending on the settings of an active profile, a tone sounds, and you are asked if you want to accept the message in which the data is included. If you accept, the message is placed in the Inbox folder in the Messaging application.
You can access the files in the device or on the memory card using a compatible accessory that supports the File Transfer Profile Client service (for example, a laptop computer).
A Bluetooth connection is disconnected automatically after sending or receiving data. Only Nokia Ovi Suite and some accessories such as headsets may maintain a connection even if not actively used.
Pair devices
Select > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth .
Open the paired devices tab.
Before pairing, decide on your own passcode (1-16 digits), and agree with the user of the other device to use the same code. Devices that do not have a user interface have a fixed passcode. You need the passcode only when you connect the devices for the first time. After pairing, it is possible to authorise the connection. Pairing and authorising the connection makes connecting quicker and easier, as you do not have to accept the connection between paired devices every time you establish a connection.
The passcode for remote SIM access must have 16 digits.
In remote SIM mode you can use your device's SIM card with compatible accessories.
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, you must first leave the remote SIM mode. If the device has been locked, enter the lock code to unlock it first.
-
Select Options > New paired device . The device starts to search for Bluetooth devices within range. If you have sent data using Bluetooth connectivity before, a list of the previous search results is displayed. To search for more Bluetooth devices, select More devices.
-
Select the device with which you want to pair, and enter the passcode. The same passcode must be entered in the other device as well.
-
To make the connection between your device and the other device automatic, select Yes. To confirm the connection manually every time a connection attempt is made, select No. After pairing, the device is saved to the paired devices page.
To give a nickname to the paired device, select Options > Assign short name . The nickname is displayed in your device.
To delete a pairing, select the device whose pairing you want to delete and Options > Delete . To delete all pairings, select Options > Delete all . If you are currently connected to a device and cancel the pairing with that device, pairing is removed immediately, and the connection is ended.
To allow a paired device to connect automatically to your device, select Set as authorised. Connections between your device and the other device can be made without your knowledge. No separate acceptance or authorisation is needed. Use this status only for your own devices, such as your compatible headset or computer, or devices that belong to someone you trust. If you want to accept connection requests from the other device separately every time, select Set as unauthorised.
To use a Bluetooth audio accessory, such as a Bluetooth handsfree or headset, you need to pair your device with the accessory. For the passcode and further instructions, see the accessory user guide. To connect to the audio accessory, switch on the accessory. Some audio accessories connect automatically to your device. Otherwise, open the paired devices tab, and select the accessory and Options > Connect to audio device .
Block devices
Select > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth .
-
To block a device from establishing a Bluetooth connection to your device, open the paired devices tab.
-
Select a device you want to block and Options > Block .
To allow the pairing of a device again after it was blocked, delete it from the blocked devices list.
Open the blocked devices tab, and select Options > Delete .
If you reject a pairing request from another device, you are asked if you want to block all future connection requests from this device. If you accept the query, the remote device is added to the list of blocked devices.
