Connecting to
other devices
When you want to exchange information
between your phone and another device,
connect them together using Bluetooth, an
infrared link, or a USB cable.
With such a connection you can, for example:
• Send a file (a picture, for example) to a
computer or to another phone.
• Use a Bluetooth headset in a phone call.
• Synchronize calendar events and contacts
with the corresponding data on a
computer.
• Back up phone data onto a computer.
• Use your phone as a computer modem.
For more information on synchronizing and
making backups, see
Bluetooth wireless
technology
The Bluetooth™ wireless technology uses
radio waves to connect devices at a range of up
to ten metres.
See
for information on how to make the Bluetooth
settings.
Sending and receiving files
From any application with a
Send as
option,
you can send a file via Bluetooth without first
having to pair with the receiving device. To
send a file, select
Send as > Bluetooth
in the
More
menu and your phone will search for
available devices. Select one of them.
If another Bluetooth device sends an item to
your phone, a dialog may appear (operator-
dependent) with options for accepting or
rejecting the file transfer. When the transfer is
complete, select the file name and choose
where to store the file. If the device is paired
with your phone, you can mark
Trust this
device
to allow it to connect with your phone
again in the future without confirmation.
Infrared port
When you connect your phone to another
device using an infrared link, the ports of both
devices have to be within one metre from each
other, in line of sight, and at an angle of no
more than about 30 degrees.
See
on page 83 for information
on how to activate the infrared port.
WARNING!
Never point an active infrared
port at somebody’s eye, or at the port of other
infrared devices than the one you are
connecting to.
