Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device using an infrared,
Bluetooth wireless technology, or USB data cable (CA-53 or DKU-2)
connection. You can also define the settings for packet data dial-up
connections.

Bluetooth wireless technology

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

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.

Bluetooth technology allows you to connect the phone to a compatible
Bluetooth device within 10 meters (32 feet). Since devices using
Bluetooth technology communicate using radio waves, your phone and
the other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-sight, although the
connection can be subject to interference from obstructions such as
walls or from other electronic devices.

Operating the phone in hidden mode is a safer way to avoid malicious software.

Do not accept Bluetooth connectivity from sources you do not trust.

As another alternative, - switch off the Bluetooth functionality. This will not
affect other functionalities of the phone.

Infrared

You can send or receive data to or from a compatible phone or data
device (for example, a computer) through the infrared (IR) port of your
phone. To use an IR connection, the device with which you want to
establish a connection must be IrDA compliant.

Do not point the IR (infrared) beam at anyone's eye or allow it to interfere with
other IR devices. This device is a Class 1 laser product.

When sending or receiving data, ensure that the IR ports of the sending
and receiving devices are pointing at each other and that there are no
obstructions between the devices.

To activate the IR port of your phone, select

If data transfer is not started within 2 minutes after the activation of
the IR port, the connection is canceled and must be started again.

When

is shown continuously, the IR connection is activated, and

your phone is ready to send or receive data through its IR port.

a connection has been lost.

Packet data

WCDMA and general packet radio service (GPRS) are network services
that allow mobile phones to send and receive data over an Internet
protocol (IP)-based network. WCDMA and GPRS are data bearers that
enable wireless access to data networks such as the Internet.

Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS but enables faster
connections. For more information on availability of EGPRS and data
transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider.

The applications that may use WCDMA or (E)GPRS are MMS, video
streaming, browsing sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application
downloading, and the PC dial-up.

When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS
instead of GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot select
between EGPRS and GPRS, but for some applications you may be able to
select GPRS or

Synchronize from a compatible PC

Before you synchronize data from calendar, notes, and contacts from a
compatible PC, you must install the Nokia PC Suite software of your
phone on the PC. Use Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared, or a USB
data cable for the synchronization, and start the synchronization from
the PC.

Synchronize from a server

To use a remote Internet server, you must subscribe to a synchronization
service. For more information and the settings required for this service,
contact your service provider. You may receive the settings as a
configuration message. See “Configuration settings service,” p. 10 and
“Configuration,” p. 72.

If you have saved data on the remote Internet server, to synchronize
your phone, start the synchronization from your phone.

after an interrupted synchronization may take up to 30 minutes to
complete.

USB data cable

You can use the USB data cable to transfer data between the memory
card inserted in the phone and a compatible PC or a printer supporting
PictBridge. You can also use the USB data cable with Nokia PC Suite.

To activate the memory card for data transfer or picture printing,
