3. Transfer content between devices
You can transfer content, such as contacts, from a compatible Nokia device to your Nokia E61i using Bluetooth connectivity or
infrared. The type of content that can be transferred depends on the phone model. If the other device supports synchronization,
you can also synchronize data between the other device and your Nokia E61i.
Transfer data with Bluetooth or infrared
Tip: If you transfer data from your previous device, the device may require you to insert the SIM card. Your Nokia E61i
does not need a SIM card when transferring data.
To start transferring data from a compatible device, select Menu > Tools > Transfer > Transfer data.
Bluetooth connectivity
1. In the information view, select Continue.
2. Select Via Bluetooth. Both devices must support the selected connection type.
3. Activate Bluetooth in your other device, and select Continue in your Nokia E61i to start searching for devices with active
Bluetooth connectivity.
4. Select Stop in your Nokia E61i after it has found your other device.
5. Select your other device from the list. You are asked to enter a passcode (1 to 16 digits) on your Nokia E61i. The passcode is
used only once to confirm this connection.
6. Enter the code on your Nokia E61i, and select OK. Enter the passcode on your other device, and select OK. The devices are
now paired. See "Pair devices," p. 51.
For some phone models, the Transfer data application is sent to your other device as a message. To install Transfer data on
your other device, open the message, and follow the instructions on the display.
7. From your Nokia E61i, select the content you want to transfer from your other device, and OK.
Infrared connectivity
1. In the information view, select Continue.

4. From your Nokia E61i, select the content you want to transfer from your other device, and OK.
Content is copied from the memory of the other device to the corresponding location in your device. Copying time depends on
the amount of data to be transferred. You can also cancel and continue later.
The necessary steps for data transfer may vary depending on your device, and whether you have interrupted data transfer
earlier. The items that you can transfer vary depending on the other device.
Synchronize data with another device
If you have previously transferred data to your Nokia E61i, and your other device supports synchronization, you can use
