Operating modes
There are two operating modes in wireless LAN: 
infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of 
communication: wireless devices are connected to each 
other through a wireless LAN access point device, or 
wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through a 
wireless LAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive 
data directly with each other. To create an internet access 
point for an ad hoc network, see ‘Access points’, p. 121.
Bluetooth connectivity 
You can connect wirelessly to other compatible devices 
with Bluetooth connectivity. Compatible devices may 
include mobile phones, computers, and enhancements 
such as headsets and car kits. You can use Bluetooth 
connectivity to send images, video clips, music and sound 
clips, and notes; connect wirelessly to your compatible PC 
(for example, to transfer files); connect to a compatible 
printer to print images with 
Image print
The two devices need to be within 10 meters (33 feet) of 
each other, but 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 
supporting the following profiles: Advanced Audio 
Distribution Profile, Basic Imaging Profile, Dial-up 
Networking Profile, File Transfer Profile, Generic Object 
Exchange Profile, Generic Access Profile, Hands-Free 
Profile, Headset Profile, Object Push Profile, and Serial Port 
Profile. To ensure interoperability between other devices 
supporting Bluetooth connectivity, use Nokia approved 
enhancements for this model. Check with the 
manufacturers of other devices to determine their 
compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth connectivity 
in some locations. Check with your local authorities or 
service provider.
Features using Bluetooth connectivity, or allowing such 
features to run in the background while using other 
features, increase the demand on battery power and 
reduce the battery life.
