Nokia 7710 manual Sending data via Bluetooth, Receiving data via Bluetooth, Paired devices

Connectivity

To deactivate the Bluetooth application, tap on the status indicator area and select Switch off. Bluetooth cannot be used for sending or receiving data until you select the Switch Bluetooth on: check box again. Note that a Bluetooth connection is normally disconnected automatically after sending or receiving data. Only with some accessories like headsets the connection may be maintained even if it is not actively used.

Sending data via Bluetooth

You can only send data to one device at a time.

1Open an application where the item you wish to send is stored. For example, to send a photo to another device, open the Images application.

2Select the item you want to send and tap Send, or press

and look for the Send > Via Bluetooth command.

3If you have searched for Bluetooth devices earlier, a list of the devices that were found previously is shown first. You can see a device icon and the device’s Bluetooth name.

4To start a new search, tap New search.

5Select the device you want to connect with and tap Send.

6If the other device requires pairing before data can be transmitted, you are asked to enter a passcode. Create your own passcode (1-16 characters long, numeric) and agree with the owner of the other Bluetooth device to use the same code. This passcode is used only once and

you do not have to memorise it. Devices that do not have a user interface have a factory-set passcode. When the connection has been successfully established, the note Sending is shown.

Data received via Bluetooth can be found in the Inbox folder in Messaging. For more information, see “Folders” on page 48.

Note that if sending fails, the message or data will be deleted. The Drafts folder in Messaging does not store messages sent via Bluetooth.

Receiving data via Bluetooth

To be able to receive data via Bluetooth, make sure you have set Bluetooth as active and selected the Visible to all: check box in the Bluetooth dialog.

When you receive data via Bluetooth from a device that is not authorised, you are first asked if you want to accept the Bluetooth message. If you accept, the item is placed in the Inbox folder in the Messaging application.

Paired devices

Pairing means authentication. Pairing with a device makes device searches quicker and easier.

The users of the Bluetooth-enabled devices should agree together what the passcode is, and use the same passcode for both devices in order to pair them.
