Send and receive data with Bluetooth
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.
1. When you activate Bluetooth for the first time, you are asked to give a name to your device. Give your device a unique name
to make it easy to recognize if there are several Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
2. Select
Bluetooth
>

.
3. 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.
4. Open the application where the item you want to send is stored.
5. Select the item, and select
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 before, a list of the previous search results is displayed. To search for
more Bluetooth devices, select
More devices
.
6. 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.

to receive data from a non-
paired device or

to receive data from a paired device only. When you receive data through Bluetooth, 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.
Tip: 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 PC Suite and some
enhancements such as headsets may maintain a connection even if not actively used.
