Bluetooth wireless technology

This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.1 supporting
the following profiles: Headset Profile, Handsfree Profile, Object Push
Profile, File Transfer Profile, and Dial Up Networking Profile. To ensure
interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth wireless
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 wireless 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.

Bluetooth technology enables wireless connections between electronic devices
within a maximum range of 10 meters. A Bluetooth connection can be used to
send images, videos, texts, business cards, calendar notes, or to connect wirelessly
to compatible devices using Bluetooth technology, such as computers. Not all
computers using Bluetooth technology are necessarily compatible.

Packet data

GPRS (general packet radio service) is a network service that allows mobile phones
to be used for sending and receiving data over an Internet Protocol (IP)-based
network. EGPRS (enhanced GPRS) is similar to GPRS, but enables faster
connections. For more information on availability of (E)GPRS and data transfer
speed, subscription, and pricing, contact your service provider. Save the (E)GPRS
settings for each of the applications used over (E)GPRS.
