Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity,
cutting the cords that used to tie up digital devices
such as mobile phones, PCs, printers, digital cameras
and even household appliances. Bluetooth technology is
based on a low-cost, short-range radio link that operates
in a globally available ISM band at 2.4 GHz, making Bluetooth
usable worldwide.
Bluetooth wireless technology is one important step on
the way to the Mobile World. Together with other industry
initiatives, such as WAP and Java, Bluetooth will have
tremendous effects on everyday life, blurring the borders
between home, office and the outside world.
The Nokia 8910 comes with an integrated Bluetooth radio
that allows the user to connect wirelessly to other compliant
Bluetooth devices within a range of 10 metres. With Bluetooth,
users can synchronise the phonebook and calendar information
between their phone and a compatible PC. Calendar synchronisation
works between the Nokia 8910 and, for example, Microsoft
Outlook or Lotus Notes using Nokia PC Suite. The 8910
also serves as a wireless modem allowing laptops users
to access the Internet and handle emails when on the move
or in remote locations. The Nokia 8910 complies with Bluetooth
Specification 1.1, making it compatible with other Bluetooth
enabled laptops, handheld computers and PC cards. The
phone also supports wireless audio based on Bluetooth,
allowing users to enjoy the freedom of being truly wireless
with Nokia Bluetooth audio accessories.

A Bluetooth chipset enables wireless data connectivity
between various electronic devices within a radius of
about 10 metres, outside the line of sight, unlike infrared,
which requires a shorter distance and immediate line of
sight. There is a huge base of IrDA compatible products,
and both technologies will continue to co-exist.

You can set up the phone to send and receive data through
Bluetooth. In the Bluetooth menu, you can manage connections
and define settings. Since Bluetooth devices communicate
using radio waves, your phone and the other Bluetooth
device do not need to be in line-of-sight. The two devices
only need to be within a maximum of 10 meters of each
other, although the connection can be subject to interference
from obstructions such as walls or other electronic devices.
In some countries, there may be restrictions on using
Bluetooth devices. Check with your local authorities.
Activating and deactivating Bluetooth:
Press Menu and select Bluetooth. When Bluetooth is displayed,
select On or Off. The phone displays a notification that
Bluetooth is activated or deactivated. When Bluetooth
is on, the following indicator is displayed. NOTE! Using
Bluetooth consumes the battery and the phone's operating
time will be reduced. Take this into account when using
other operations of your phone.
Bluetooth device name:
When the user activates the Bluetooth module for the first
time, the phone asks for the Bluetooth device name of
your phone by showing Enter name:, the user can accept
the default name or change it. The name can be up to 15
characters. After the user has accepted the name, Name
saved is shown. Bluetooth device names help you to distinguish
one Bluetooth device or accessory from another.
Pairing with Bluetooth Passcode:
To create a secure connection, you may need to exchange
Bluetooth Passcodes with the device you are connecting
to for the first time. This operation is called pairing.
The Bluetooth Passcode is a 1 to 16 character-long numeric
code. Accessories, as well as data and fax connections
to a compatible computer, require a pairing. Nokia accessories
have fixed passcodes that are supplied with the accessory.
When forming a Bluetooth connection to devices other than
a Nokia accessory, for example to another mobile phone,
you can create your own passcode. This passcode is used
only once and you do not have to memorise it. Make up
identical passcodes with the other person with whom you
want to share a Bluetooth connection. If you need to create
the pairing between the two devices again, you can make
up a new code.
Bluetooth connection:
Press Menu, select Bluetooth and Search for Bluetooth
accessories. The phone starts searching for devices and
accessories. Devices responding to the inquiry appear
on a list of Bluetooth accessories one by one starting
from the device found first. The phone shows the device
found last on the bottom of the list. To end the inquiry,
press Stop.
Scroll to the device you want and press Select. When the
connection has been established, the device shows Connected
to followed by the device's name, and the Bluetooth indicator
 .
If devices have not been paired, the user is asked to
enter the passcode of the desired device. Note that if
the device in the list moves out of range and you try
to connect to it, an error note is shown.
Note that you can have only one active connection at a
time.
To view the currently active device, press Menu, select
Bluetooth and View active device. From here, you can also
close the connection to the device.
To view the list of paired devices, press Menu, select
Bluetooth and View paired devices. The oldest pairing
is on the top of the list. When you press Options under
View paired devices, some of the following options may
be available, depending on the status of the device or
connection: Assign short name, to give a name (visible
to you only) to the paired device, Delete pairing to remove
the selected device from the list, Request conn. authorisation
to define whether the connection from the paired device
is established automatically (No) or if the phone asks
permission before connecting (Yes).
Bluetooth settings:
The settings are for changing the phone's own Bluetooth
related settings. Press Menu, select Bluetooth and Bluetooth
settings. You have the following options:
- My phone's visibility, to change the way
the phone is visible to other Bluetooth devices. The
options are as follows:
- Shown to all, which is the default mode
- Hidden to make the device non-discoverable,
responding only to devices that it has been paired
with.
- My Phone's name to change your phone's
Bluetooth device name, which is shown to others.

Nokia Bluetooth accessories are specially designed for
Nokia mobile phones supporting Bluetooth wireless technology,
like the Nokia 8910. They can, however, be used with other
compatible Bluetooth devices that support the required
profiles.
Nokia Bluetooth accessories provide the best performance
when used with a compatible Nokia phone. Since Bluetooth
devices communicate using radio waves, your Bluetooth
phone and Nokia Bluetooth accessories do not need to be
within line-of-sight. The devices only need to be within
10 metres from each other.
In some countries, there may be restrictions on using
Bluetooth devices. Check with local authorities.
Nokia Bluetooth accessories:
- Wireless Headset HDW-1
- Wireless CarKit CARK112
- Connectivity Card DTL-4

to use: Simply press the remote button on the headset
to voice dial, to answer and end phone calls, and to adjust
the volume.

The Nokia Wireless Car Kit sales package does not include
a mobile charger, and, as the connection between the phone
and the Wireless Car Kit does not require cables, there
is no need for a mobile holder with charging. The phone
can, however, be charged normally with the compatible
Nokia Mobile Charger also when connected to the Wireless
Car Kit.
^ Back to top.
You can connect your Nokia 8910 phone and laptop (PC)
wirelessly. While connected, you can handle email, browse

easily without a physical cable connection using the Nokia
8910 phone. You can also use the Nokia 8910 as a GSM modem
for connecting wirelessly to a computer within a 10-metre
range. The Nokia 8910 supports GSM data (CSD), HSCSD and
GPRS data.
^ Back to top.
The laptop must support the Windows 98, NT4 (with SP5
or later), 2000, Me, or XP operating system and have the
Bluetooth functionality installed.
^ Back to top.
When the connection is created for the first time, the
user enters a Bluetooth Passcode in order to create the
connection. The next time, the connection is automatic
if the devices have been selected as "trusted devices."
