network (MCN) technology and to activate cell info reception.Wireless LAN Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have WLAN support.About WLANYour device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that support WLAN. To use a WLAN connection, you need the following: •WLAN must be available in your location. •Your device must be connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access key from the service provider to connect to them. •An internet access point created for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet. A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN internet access point. The active WLAN connection ends when you end the data connection. 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 access point. Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life. Your device supports the following WLAN features: •IEEE 802.11b/g standard •Operation at 2.4 GHz •WEP, WPA/WPA2, and 802.1x authentication methods. These functions can be used only if they are supported by the network. Important: Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access to your data. 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, enter *#62209526# in the home screen.Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you are only allowed to use WLAN indoors. For more information, contact your local authorities. WLAN connectionsTo use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet. 51Connectivity
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN internet access point. The active WLAN connection ends when you end the data connection. 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.

Bluetooth connectivityAbout Bluetooth connectivityWith Bluetooth connectivity, you can make a wireless connection to other compatible devices, such as mobile devices, computers, headsets, and car kits. You can use the connection to send images, video and sound clips, and notes, transfer files from your compatible PC, and print images with a compatible printer. 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: Advanced Audio Distribution, Audio Video Remote Control, Basic Imaging, Basic Printing, Dial-up Networking, File Transfer, Generic Access, Hands-free, Headset, Human Interface Device, Object Push, Phone Book Access, SIM Access, Serial Port. 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. Features using Bluetooth technology increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life. When the device is locked, only connections to authorised devices are possible. SettingsSelect Menu > Ctrl. panel > Connectivity > Bluetooth. When you open the application for the first time, you are asked to define a name for your device. You can change the name later. Select from the following: •Bluetooth — Turn Bluetooth connectivity on or off. •My phones visibility — To allow your device to be found by other devices with Bluetooth wireless technology, select Shown to all.

If you accept the query, the remote device is added to the list of blocked devices.Remote SIM modeBefore the remote SIM mode can be activated, the two devices must be paired and the pairing initiated from the other device. When pairing, use a 16-digit passcode, and set the other device as authorised. To use the remote SIM mode with a compatible car kit enhancement, activate Bluetooth connectivity, and enable the use of the remote SIM mode with your device. Activate the remote SIM mode from the other device. When the remote SIM mode is on in your device, Remote SIM mode is displayed in the standby mode. The connection to the wireless network is turned off, as indicated by in the signal strength indicator area, and you cannot use SIM card services or features requiring cellular network coverage. When the wireless device is in the remote SIM mode, you can only use a compatible connected enhancement, such as a car kit, to make or receive calls. Your wireless device will not make any calls while in this mode, except to the emergency numbers programmed into your device. To make calls from your device, you must leave the remote SIM mode. If the device is locked, enter the lock code to unlock it. To leave the remote SIM mode, press the power key, and select Exit remote SIM mode. 56Connectivity
