Bluetooth device compatibility

The Nokia 3600 and Nokia 3650 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 protocols
and profiles supported by the Nokia 3600 and Nokia 3650 are:

•

Logical Link Control and Adaptation protocol

•

Service Discovery protocol

•

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.

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.

Scroll to the device you want to connect with and press

Select

.

The item you are sending is copied to Outbox and the note

Connecting

is shown.

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. 141).

Glossary: 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. 85 for further information.

SET A DEVICE TO BE AUTHORIZED OR UNAUTHORIZED
After you have paired with a device, you can
set it to be authorized or unauthorized:

Unauthorized (default) - Connection requests
from this device need to be accepted separately
every time.

Authorized - Connections between your
phone and this device can be made without
your knowledge. No separate acceptance or
authorization is needed. Use this status for
your own devices, for example, your PC, or
devices that belong to someone you trust. The icon

is added next to

authorized devices in the Paired devices view.
