Bluetooth connectivity
About Bluetooth connectivity
With Bluetooth connectivity, you can make a wireless
connection to other compatible devices, such as mobile
phones, computers, headsets, and car kits.
You can use the connection to send images, videos, music and
sound clips, and notes, and transfer files from your
compatible PC.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology
communicate using radio waves, they do not need to be in
direct line-of-sight. However, they must be within 10 meters
(33 feet) of each other, although the connection may be
subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls or
from other electronic devices.
This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.1 +
EDR supporting the following profiles: General Access Profile,
File Transfer Profile, Object Push Profile, Generic Object
Exchange Profile, Headset Profile, Hands Free Profile,
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, and Audio/Video
Remote Control Profile. 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.
