Facts about your communicator

About system services

The wireless phone described in this user guide is GSM 1900 MHz. A number of features included in this user guide are called network or system

services. They are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these services, you must subscribe to the service(s) you require from your home service provider and obtain instructions for their use. You can then activate these functions as described in this user guide. The manual activation commands for various services are not presented in this user guide (for example, using the and characters for activating or deactivating services). The Nokia 9290 Communicator, nevertheless, is capable of handling commands given in that form. For these commands, please consult with your service providers.

Introduction

Services that need to be subscribed to are typically the short message service, Internet, and fax.

Because the number of special services depends on what services are available in your home network, it is, unfortunately, impossible to provide a comprehensive list of the services and settings you need in this user guide. Therefore, this user guide gives general information about additional services. Please contact your service

Tip: Write the information you obtain from your service provider down on the Getting Started card for future reference.

provider for further information about the availability and the details of services in your home system.

If a service requires separate phone numbers or specific settings, they must be stored in the settings of the communicator. For example:

Sending and receiving short messages requires that this service is supported by the system you are using and activated for your SIM card, and that the phone number of the message

is stored in the settings of the SMS application. Internet access requires that data service is supported by the system you are using

and activated for your SIM card. In addition, you must have obtained an Internet access point from an Internet service provider.

Access codes

The Nokia 9290 Communicator uses several access codes to protect against unauthorized use of your communicator and SIM card. The access codes you need most often are:

• the lock code to lock up your communicator, and

• the PIN code, which is provided with the SIM card.

Introduction

IMPORTANT: The default lock code is 12345. For security reasons, it is

imperative that you change the lock code. Keep the code secret and in a safe place, separate from the communicator. For more information on changing access codes, see section ‘Security’ on page 212.

You can change access codes that are used by both the phone and the communicator interface via either of them, provided that the code can be changed. For further details on access codes, see ‘Security’ on page 212.

The Internet applications of the communicator use passwords and user names to protect against unauthorized use of the Internet and its services. These passwords are changed in the settings of the Internet applications.

Contact information

All contact information that you store in the Contacts application, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, goes into the Contacts directory. The phone, the communicator interface, and each of the applications have their own views of the Contacts directory. The information shown depends on the information the selected application can use. For example, when you are making a call via the phone, you can view the name and phone number(s) of the contact. Possible fax numbers, e-mail addresses, job titles, and so on, are not shown.

GSM data transmission

The Nokia 9290 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the GSM 1900 MHz system to send faxes, short messages, and e-mail, and to establish connections with remote computers.

Tip: You can synchronize

the contact information on your communicator with a corresponding application on a compatible PC. See the PC Suite Guide on the CDROM for details.

Introduction

Wireless data connections can be made from most locations where your phone operates. However, it is recommended that you move the communicator to a location where the strongest possible wireless signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data transmission is efficient. In general, you should not expect the same performance from wireless data communications as from landline communications, due to the inherent characteristics of the wireless environment. The following factors may impair wireless connections:

Noise

Radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from other phones will affect the quality of wireless data transmission.

Cell handover

As the phone user moves from one network cell to another, the signal strength of the channel drops and the wireless telephone exchange may handover the user to a different cell and frequency, where the signal is stronger. A cell handover may also occur when the user is stationary, due to varying wireless traffic loads. Such handovers may cause slight delays in the transmission.

Electrostatic discharge

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or a conductor may cause erroneous functions in electric devices. The discharge may result in distorted display and unstable software operation. Wireless connections may become unreliable, data may become corrupted, and the transmission halted. In this case you need to end

Introduction

the existing call (if any), close the cover and switch off the phone (if on) and remove the battery. Then replace the battery and establish a new wireless connection.

Dead spots and dropouts

Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the phone user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographical features or large structures.

Signal impairment

Distance and obstacles can cause signals to become out-of-phase. They can also cause reflected signals. Both situations result in a loss of signal strength.

Low signal strength

Due to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal strength from a cell site may not be strong or stable enough to provide a reliable data connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember the following points:

• The data connection works best when the communicator is in a stationary position. Attempting wireless data communication while in a moving vehicle is not recommended. Fax transmission is more easily impaired than data or short message transmission.

• Do not place the communicator on a metal surface.

Introduction

• Check that the signal strength on the communicator display is sufficient. Moving the communicator within a room, especially towards a window, may result in a stronger signal. If signals are not strong enough to support a voice call, data connection should not be attempted until you can find a location with better signal reception.

Note: When the antenna is up, the signal is stronger.

Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page 69.

1 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the communicator, as shown in

Figure 17.

Tip: To check the current

battery level, see the battery indicator on the communicator or phone display.

General information

Figure 17

2 Connect the charger to the proper voltage AC wall outlet. While charging is in

progress, the battery level indicator scrolls on the phone display.

3 When the battery is fully charged, the bars stop scrolling and four bars are

displayed. You may now remove the charger plug from the communicator.

Note: You can use all the features of the communicator during charging.

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of operation time remain, a warning tone will sound, and the message BATTERY IS LOW will be repeated at regular intervals on the phone display. When the charge level becomes too low for operation, the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be displayed, accompanied by a warning tone. If you do not connect the communicator to a charger, the communicator switches itself off.

Note: When you connect a communicator with a fully discharged battery to a

charger, it will take 30-60 seconds before the CHARGING message appears on the display and the battery indicator bar starts scrolling. After that, it may take 10-30 seconds before you can switch the phone on.

General information

Battery information

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a

metallic object (for example coin, clip, or pencil) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the bottom of the battery), for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold conditions, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. The performance of Lithium-ion batteries is particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C (+32°F).

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not be disposed

of in municipal waste. Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three

complete charge and discharge cycles. Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer and recharge the

battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. With approved chargers and accessories, the battery can be charged continuously.

Tip: Read this section for

information on how to prolong the life of your battery.

General information

The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since excessive charging may shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and stand-by time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.

Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the phone and the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength, various phone settings, and the length of the screen blanker period.

It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping the battery charged maximizes the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power to the real-time clock of the communicator. In case the backup battery is drained, it will be automatically charged the next time a charged battery is reconnected to the communicator.

Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the cover will save all data.

Note: The battery does not fit into place if the SIM card is not correctly

installed. Do not force the battery into place! Check that you have inserted the SIM card as described in the Getting Started Guide. If the SIM card is incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it out of the slot, and insert it again.

General information

Memory card

You can use the memory card delivered in your sales package to manage your documents, contacts databases, applications, backups, and so on.

Use the items on the memory card in the same way as corresponding items on the communicator. You can, for example, install and remove software to and from the memory card with the Install/Remove software application, and send messages to contacts in the contacts directory of the memory card.

Note: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation.

Inserting the memory card

1 Close the device cover and make sure that the phone is switched off. If it is on,
