Bluetooth connection

Note: The Nokia N-Gage game deck is compliant
with and adopts Bluetooth Specification 1.1. However,
interoperability between the game deck and other
products with Bluetooth wireless technology is not
guaranteed and depends on compatibility. For more
information on the compatibility between Bluetooth
devices, please review each product's user information
or check with the manufacturer.
You can play two player or multiple player games via a
Bluetooth connection with a friends who have the same
game on a compatible device. See 'Games', p. 28. You can
use Bluetooth in Offline profile, in this profile the device
118
does not make or receive wireless phone calls. See 'Offline
folder. Do not switch the profile', p. 91.
Tip! You can also play game deck-to-game deck
games via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth enables cost-free wireless connections between
electronic devices within a maximum range of 10 metres.
A Bluetooth connection can be used to play games, send
images, videos, texts, business cards, calendar notes, or to
connect wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled compatible
devices such as computers.
Since Bluetooth devices
communicate using radio
waves, your game deck and
the other Bluetooth device
do not need to be in direct
line-of-sight.
The two devices only need to
be within a maximum of 10
metres of each other,
although the connection can
be subject to interference
from obstructions such as
walls or from other
electronic devices.
