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.
