Bluetooth wireless technology
Different Bluetooth functions are available depending on the
usage mode selected.
Bluetooth wireless technology is an
international standard for wireless
short-range communication. It allows
you to establish a wireless connection
between your car kit and a compatible device supporting
Bluetooth wireless technology. Such devices may include a
mobile phone, a laptop computer, or a wireless headset.
Since devices with Bluetooth technology communicate using
radio waves, your car kit and the other device do not need to be
in direct 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 the car
body or from other electronic devices.
The car kit consistently utilizes the security features offered by
Bluetooth wireless technology:
Data transmissions are encrypted.
The car kit checks the identity of remote devices to avoid
unwanted connections.
To create a connection using Bluetooth wireless technology to a
device for the first time, this verification must be done
manually by exchanging Bluetooth passcodes. This procedure is
called pairing (see “Pairing” on page 60). If the devices are

successfully paired, you do not need to repeat this procedure
when establishing further Bluetooth wireless connections
between the devices. However, you can delete a device from the
list of paired devices. If you wish to establish a Bluetooth
wireless connection to this device again later, you must pair it
with the car kit.
To ensure interoperability with the devices from different
manufacturers, the Bluetooth standard defines so-called
profiles for many applications. The Nokia 616 car kit supports
the following Bluetooth profiles:
y
SIM access profile to connect to a compatible mobile phone
and use the remote SIM card installed in the mobile
y
Hands-free profile to connect to a compatible mobile phone
y
Hands-free profile or headset profile to connect to a
compatible wireless headset
