Bluetooth

.

Bluetooth connectivity enables cost-free
wireless connections between electronic
devices within a maximum range of 30 feet.
A Bluetooth connection can be used to send
images, texts, business cards, and calendar
notes. It can also be used to connect wirelessly
to products with or using Bluetooth wireless
technology, such as computers.

Since Bluetooth devices communicate
using radio waves, your phone and the
other Bluetooth device do not need to
be in direct line-of-sight.

The two devices only need to be within a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters)
of each other, although the connection can be subject to interference
from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.

Using the Bluetooth application consumes the battery and the phone's
operating time will be reduced. Take this into account when performing
other operations with your phone.

There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth devices. Check with your
local authorities.

Connectivity

Bluetooth device compatibility

The Nokia 3620 and Nokia 3660 phones are designed to be compliant with
and to adapt to Bluetooth Specification 1.1. Compatibility between the
phone and other products with Bluetooth wireless technology depends also
on the profiles and protocols used by both devices. The current profiles
supported by the Nokia 3620 and Nokia 3660 are:

Dial-Up Networking profile (DUN) as a gateway

Fax profile (FAX) as a gateway

Object Push profile (OPP) as a client and server

File Transfer profile (FTP) as a server

Handsfree profile (HFP) as an audio gateway

Generic Object Exchange profile (GOEP)

Generic Access profile (GAP)

Serial Port profile (SPP) with the PC connectivity software

For information on compatibility with other Bluetooth devices, contact
their manufacturers.

Activate the Bluetooth application for the first time

When you activate the Bluetooth application
for the first time, you are asked to give a
Bluetooth name to your phone.

After you have set the Bluetooth application
to be active and changed

My phone's visibility

The phone starts to search for devices within range. Bluetooth enabled
devices that are within range start to appear on the display one by
one. You can see a device icon, the device’s Bluetooth name, the
device type, or a short name. Paired devices are shown with

.

Note: If you have searched for Bluetooth devices earlier, a list
of the devices that were found previously is shown first. To start
a new search, select

More devices.

If you switch off the phone,

the list of devices is cleared and the device search needs to be
started again before sending data.

To interrupt the search, press

Stop

. The device list freezes and you can

start to form a connection to one of the devices already found.

If required to pair with the other device, consider the following:

If the other device requires pairing before data can be transmitted,
a tone sounds and 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 memorize it.

After pairing, the device is saved to the Paired devices view
(see “Paired devices view” on p. 144).

Note: Pairing means authentication. The users of the
Bluetooth enabled devices should agree on the passcode
and use the same passcode for both devices in order to pair
them. Devices that do not have a user interface have a
factory set passcode.

When the connection has been successfully established, the note

Sending data

is shown.

Note: Data received by a Bluetooth connection can be
found in the Inbox folder in Messaging. See “Inbox” on p. 87
for further information.
