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 applications 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 Synchronization and backup on page 100.

Bluetooth wireless technology

The Bluetooth™ wireless technology uses radio waves to connect devices at a range of up to ten meters. The connection may be improved if there are no solid objects between your phone and the other Bluetooth device.

See Bluetooth wireless technology on page 118 for information on how to make the Bluetooth settings.

Item exchange

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 and your phone will search for available devices. Select one of them.

If another Bluetooth device sends a file 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 you select Save instead you will not get any option to decide where to store the file. You then have to look under Messaging to find it. If the device is paired with your phone, you can mark Trust this device to allow it to connect to your phone again in the future without confirmation.
