You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN access point device at a time, but several applications can use the same internet access point. When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a WLAN connection. Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, open the dialler and enter *#62209526#. WLAN wizard Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > WLAN. The WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN) and manage your WLAN connections. If the search finds WLANs, to create an internet access point (IAP) for a connection and start the web browser using this IAP, select the connection and Start web browsing. If you select a secured WLAN, you are asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID). If you already have the web browser running using the currently active WLAN connection, to return to the web browser, select Continue web browsing. To end the active connection, select the connection and Disconnect WLAN. WLAN internet access points Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > WLAN.

Operating modes There are two operating modes in WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc. The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication: wireless devices are connected to each other through a WLAN access point device, or wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through a WLAN access point device. In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive data directly with each other. Wireless LAN settings In the wireless LAN (WLAN) settings, you can define whether the WLAN indicator is displayed when a network is available and how often the network is scanned. You can also define whether and how the internet connectivity test is performed, and view advanced WLAN settings.

You can use the connection to send items from your device, transfer files from your compatible PC, and print files with a compatible printer. Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Bluetooth. Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate using radio waves, they do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. However, they must be within 10 metres (33 feet) of each other, although the connection may be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices. This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR supporting the following profiles: Dial-Up Networking (DUN), Object Push Profile (OPP), File Transfer Profile (FTP), Hands Free Profile (HFP), Headset Profile (HSP), Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), Remote SIM Access Profile (SimAP), Device Identification Profile (DI), Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP), Human Interface Device Profile (HID), Generic Audio/Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP), Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). To ensure interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved accessories for this model.Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this device. When the device is locked, only connections to authorised devices are possible. Features using Bluetooth technology increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
