Dual mode, the device uses the GSM or UMTS network
automatically, according to the network parameters and the
roaming agreements between the wireless service providers.
For details and roaming costs, contact your network service
provider. This option is shown only if supported by the
wireless service provider.
A roaming agreement is an agreement between two or more
service providers to enable the users of one service provider
to use the services of other service providers.
Operator selection  — Select Automatic to set the device to
search for and select one of the available networks, or
Manual to manually select the network from a list. If the
connection to the manually selected network is lost, the
device sounds an error tone and asks you to reselect a
network. The selected network must have a roaming
agreement with your home network.
Cell info display  — Set the device to indicate when it is used
in a cellular network based on microcellular 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 WLAN
To use a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection, it
must be available in the location, and 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.
Note: In France, you are only allowed to use WLAN
indoors.
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.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.
WLAN connections
To 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.
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.
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

the connection details are displayed.
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.

2 The device asks to check for available connections. After
the search, connections that are already available are
shown and can be shared by a new access point. If youskip this step, you are asked to select a connection
method and to define the settings needed.
To view access points stored in your device, select an access
point group. The different access point groups are the
following:
Internet access pointsMultimedia messaging access pointsWAP access pointsUncategorised access points
The different access point types are indicated with the
following:Protected access pointPacket data access pointWireless LAN (WLAN) access point
Manage access point groups
To avoid selecting a single access point every time the device
makes a network connection, you can create a group that
contains various access points to connect to that network and
define the order in which the access points are used. For
example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and packet data
access points to an internet access point group, and use the
group for browsing the web. If you give WLAN the highest
priority, the device connects to the internet through WLAN,
if available, and through a packet data connection if not.

With 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 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),
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.
