This device is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR supporting the following profiles: General Access Profile, File Transfer Profile, Object Push Profile, Generic Object Exchange Profile, Headset Profile, Hands Free Profile, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile. 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.
