Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device using Bluetooth wireless
technology or a USB data cable connection.

Connecting with Bluetooth

This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 supporting the following profiles:
SIM access, object push, file transfer, dial-up networking, headset, hands-free, service
discovery application, generic access, serial port, and generic object exchange. 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.

Bluetooth technology allows you to connect your phone to a compatible
Bluetooth phone within 10 meters (33 feet). Since phones using Bluetooth
technology communicate using radio waves, your phone and the other phones do

interference from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.

Features using Bluetooth technology increase the demand on battery power and reduce the
battery life.
