Connecting to virtual private networks
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to resources inside a secured local network, from outside that network.
VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions so that their users can access local network resources when not on campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
NOTE
There are numerous systems for securing VPN connections, including some that rely on secure certificates or other methods to ensure that only authorized users can connect. For instructions on how to install secure certificates, see “Installing a secure certificate from the microSD card” on page 123.

Connecting to Bluetooth ^® devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that devices can use to exchange information over a distance of about 8 meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headphones for placing calls or listening to music, hands-free kits for cars, and other portable devices, including laptops and cell phones.
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your phone's Bluetooth radio. The first time you use a new device with your phone, you must "pair" them, so that they know how to connect securely to each other. After that, you can simply connect to a paired device. The Status bar displays icons that indicate Bluetooth status.
| * | Bluetooth is on |
| * | Connected to a Bluetooth device |
NOTES
There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the features and • communications standards for Bluetooth devices. Your phone supports the Bluetooth profiles: HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP, OBEX, OPP, PBAP, GAVDP, AVDTP, and AVCTP.
OPP (Object Push Profile) allows you to send and receive the following types of files between Bluetooth devices: Contacts (vCard), image (JPEG, Bitmap, PNG, WinBMP, GIF), and movie (3G2, 3GP, MP4). Movie (WMV) and music (MP3, M4A) files can only be received.

Accounts and sync
You can sync contacts, email, calendar events, and other information with your phone, from multiple Google Accounts, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts, or other types of accounts, depending on the applications installed on your phone.
For example, you can start by adding your personal Google Account, so your personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available.
You can also add an Exchange ActiveSync account from work, so you can read your work email and have your work contacts handy.
Adding and removing accounts
You can add multiple Google Accounts and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts.
You may also be able to add other types of accounts, depending on your applications.
NOTES
For more information on how to set up your email, visit https://smartphones.verizonwireless.com/. Click on the Smartphone Support tab and select your phone.
You can add accounts in the Accounts & Sync settings, as • described in this section.
You can add other accounts using an application that works with those types of accounts; for example, you can add IMAP and POP3 email accounts with the Email application (see “Adding and editing email accounts” on page 144).
Adding an account
NOTE
To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from an IT support representative about the service to which the account connects. For example, you may need to know the account's domain or server address.
- On the Home screen, touch the Menu key ☐ > Settings > Accounts & sync.
The Accounts & Sync Settings screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.
-
Touch Add account.
-
Touch the type of account to add.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the required and optional information about the account.
Most accounts require a username and password, but the details depend on the type of account and the configuration of the service you are connecting to.
Depending on the type of account, you may be asked to configure the types of data you want to sync to the phone, name the account, and provide other details.
When you are finished, the account is added to the list in the Accounts & Sync Settings screen. Depending on how you configured the account, email, contacts, and other information will start syncing to your phone.

Configuring account sync settings
You can configure background data use and synchronization options for all of the applications on your phone. You can also configure what types of data you synchronize for each account. Some applications, such as Gmail™ and Calendar, have their own synchronization settings.
NOTES
Some applications, such as Contacts, Gmail, and Calendar, can sync data from multiple applications. Others sync data only from the first Google Account you sign into on your phone, or from an account associated specifically with that application.
For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information on your phone are made to the copy of that information on the web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only one-way sync; the information on your phone is read-only.
Configuring general sync settings
- On the Home screen, touch the Menu key > Settings > Accounts & sync.
The Accounts & Sync Settings screen opens.
- Check or uncheck Background data to control whether applications and services can transmit data when you are not working with them directly (that is, when they are running in the background).
If you uncheck this option, Gmail stops receiving new mail, Calendar stops syncing events, and so on, until you touch the Refresh menu item or send an email.
- Check or uncheck Auto-sync to control whether changes you make to information on the phone or on the web are automatically synced with each other.
For example, when this option is checked, changes that you make in Contacts on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on the web.
If you uncheck this option, you may be able to use an application's tools to sync data manually. You can also sync account data manually from the Accounts & Sync Settings screen. For more information, see "Syncing information manually" on page 137.
Changing account sync settings
- On the Home screen, touch the Menu key ☐ > Settings > Accounts & sync.
