About connectivity

Your device offers several options to connect to the internet
or to another compatible device, PC, or Mac. The available
connection methods are wireless LAN (WLAN) connection and
a packet data connection. Using a WLAN connection, you can
connect to the internet without a SIM card inserted.
You can enable automatic transfers between WLAN and
packet data connections, to keep your device constantly
online. You can also set your device to ask which connection
to use. When you connect to the internet for the first time
using a packet data connection, the device prompts you to
select whether you want to allow automatic transfer without
further confirmation.
You can also connect to a PC or other compatible device using
Bluetooth wireless technology, or by using a USB data cable.

phone or device operates reliably and that your personal
content is saved safely.
Any information from an unknown or unreliable source, for
example, via Bluetooth connectivity, infrared, or cable, may
harm your PC, mobile phone, or device. You may protect your
mobile phone or device from damage and keep it secured by
following simple measures:
Always keep Bluetooth connectivity closed unless you
•
want your phone or device to be visible to others, when
your phone or device supports Bluetooth.
Always be alert when receiving information, like
•
Bluetooth file, from an unknown or untrustworthy
source.
Do not download or install any applications that may
•
include software harmful to your phone or device.
Always download and install applications or content, like
