13. Connectivity (Menu 10)

You can connect the phone to a compatible device using an IR or Bluetooth
connection. You can also connect the phone to a compatible PC using IR or
Bluetooth; and use the phone as a modem to enable connectivity from the PC.

For vehicle and accessory compatibility to Bluetooth, check the Verizon Wireless

Bluetooth connectivity

Bluetooth connectivity enables cost-free wireless connections between
electronic devices within a maximum range of 30 feet. A Bluetooth connection
can be used to send and receive images, texts, voice recordings, video clips, notes,
business cards, and calendar notes. It can also be used to connect wirelessly to
products that use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as computers, Bluetooth
carkits, and Bluetooth headsets. You can synchronize your phone and your PC
using a Bluetooth connection.

Since devices with Bluetooth connectivity communicate using radio waves, your
phone and the other device do not need to be in direct line-of-sight.

The two devices only need to be within a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters) of each
other, although the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions
such as walls or from other electronic devices.

The Bluetooth application consumes the battery and reduces the operating
time of the phone. Take this into account when performing other operations
with your phone.

There may be restrictions on using devices with Bluetooth connectivity. Check
with your local authorities.

These devices are compliant with Bluetooth specification 1.1 supporting the
following profiles:

Object push profile (OPP)

File transfer profile (FTP)

Dial-up networking profile (DUN)

Generic object exchange profile (GOEP)

Headset profile (HSP)

Hands-free profile (HFP)

To ensure inter operability 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 reduces the battery life.

Pairing

You can set up a permanent association (pairing) between your phone and
another device with Bluetooth connectivity. Some devices may require pairing
before data transfer can take place.

To pair with a device, you and the owner of the other device must agree on a
passcode of 1–16 numeric characters. The first time you try to connect the
devices, you must each enter the same passcode. The default passcode is 0000.
Once the devices are paired, you will not need to use the passcode again, so there
is no need to remember it.

Paired devices are placed in your paired device list. You can view the list even
when Bluetooth is not active or when the devices in the list are not available
for connection.

To view the paired device list:

1. In the standby mode, select

Menu

>

other IR devices. This device is a Class 1 laser product.
