Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-1

1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9000i Communicator. The Nokia 9000i Communicator is a versatile communications tool: it is a mobile phone, messaging device, access terminal and a palmtop organiser in one compact package.

This chapter helps you understand how the Nokia 9000i Communicator operates. The following "Getting started" chapter helps you begin using the Nokia 9000i Communicator, as it explains the start-up procedure and outlines the special features. The rest of this manual deals with the communicator interface applications and the phone interface.

If you are an experienced mobile phone and mobile office user, read at least this introductory chapter and the "Getting started" chapter. Basic information about the communicator applications is always available in the context sensitive help, which can be activated by pressing the Help button on the communicator interface keyboard.

The Nokia 9000i Communicator has two interfaces, the phone interface (see figure 1-1) and the communicator interface (see figure 1-2). The phone interface is on the device cover and the communicator interface is under the cover.

The word “interface” emphasises the fact that both of these two aspects of the Nokia 9000i Communicator use the same resources and work closely together - they are not separate devices. For example, the phone interface uses the names and phone numbers stored in the communicator interface’s Contacts directory, and the communicator interface uses the phone interface for communicating with the “outside world” (for

Figure 1-1

Figure 1-2

1-2 Things to remember

example, when sending or receiving faxes and connecting to remote computers).

The phone interface is designed for making and receiving calls quickly. It looks and operates like other Nokia mobile phones (except that the earpiece and microphone are on the backside of the device). The phone interface is switched on and

off by pressing the button on the cover.

Things to remember

Services

In order to utilise the communication capabilities of the Nokia 9000i Communicator, you may have to subscribe to certain services separately. If the service requires a separate phone number or specific settings, they must be stored in the communicator’s settings. For example,

• Fax sending and receiving requires that fax service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card.

• Using the communicator as a fax modem requires that data service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card.

• Internet access also requires that data service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card. In addition, to access the Internet, you must have obtained an Internet access point from an Internet service provider (contact your dealer for details).

Document outbox

To help with cellular data transmission (see chapter 16 "Important safety information: Facts about cellular data transmission" on page 16-3), the communicator has an outgoing communications manager called the Document outbox. When you send faxes, short messages and mail, they always go first to the Document outbox. The outbox prepares your fax, short message or mail and then sends it through the phone interface. If the phone interface is off or the cellular signal

IMPORTANT! Do not switch on the phone interface when mobile phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

The communicator interface has many organiser and communication applications. The QWERTY keyboard, command buttons and large display make using the applications easy. The communi-

cator interface has no power on/off button – the communicator interface activates itself when you open the cover and deactivates when you close the cover.

strength is inadequate, the document will not be sent until the phone interface is switched on and the signal strength is sufficient. You do not have to worry about whether the phone or fax called might be off or busy: after the first attempt, the Document outbox tries to send the document nine more times.

The Document outbox can be accessed in the Fax, SMS, Mail and Notes applications’ main views, where it is shown at the bottom of the folders list. The Document outbox is discussed in more detail in chapter 12 "Document outbox" on page 12-1.

There is no document inbox. When you receive faxes, short messages or fetch mail, they go directly in their own received document folders. Each application shows a received document folder containing documents that can be viewed in that application. For example, the Fax application shows the Received faxes folder and the Mail application shows the Received mail folder.

Access codes

The communicator uses several access codes to protect against unauthorised use of your communicator and the SIM card. You can make changes to the access codes in the settings of the Security application (see chapter 10 "System: Security" on page 10-2) or in the phone interface (see chapter 13 "Phone interface: Menus - Security options (Menu 5)" on page 13-11).

Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-3

For access codes that can be changed and are used by both interfaces, you can make the changes via either interface.

The communicator interface’s Internet applications use passwords and user names to protect from unauthorised use of the Internet and Internet services. These passwords are changed in the settings of the Internet applications.

The access codes you need most often are the lock code (provided in the sales package) and the Personal Identity Number (PIN) code (provided with the SIM card). The access codes are described in more detail in chapter 10 "System: Security" on page 10-2. See also chapter 13 "Phone interface: Menus - Security options (Menu 5)" on page 13-11.

Contact information

All contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, E-mail addresses, etc.) you store goes into the Contacts directory. Each application and interface has its own view 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 interface, you can view the name and the phone number(s) of the contact – possible fax numbers, E-mail addresses, job titles, etc., are not shown.

You can customise your contact information according to your preferences, see chapter 3 "Contacts: Contact cards - Customising contact cards" on page 3-2. Customising only affects new contact information; existing contacts will not be affected. If you customise your contact card template in an early phase, you will not have to edit your contact cards manually.

Texts

With the communicator interface’s text editor, you can create new texts in many applications (Notes, Fax, SMS, Mail, Calendar). The editor, however, works in each application in a way that corresponds to the sending format of that application. For example, because short messages cannot contain text formattings, the SMS editor removes text formattings. For this reason, the text editor is called Note editor in the Notes application, Mail editor in the Mail application, and

The personalisation procedure is now completed.

SIM card contents

After the personalisation procedure, if the installed SIM card contains stored names or numbers, you will be asked if you want to copy the

SIM card

SIM card contents into the communicator’s memory (Contacts directory). If the phone interface is switched off, the question will be asked the next time the phone interface is on and you activate the communicator interface.

If you want to do the copying later, you can answer no, and do it manually via the phone interface, see chapter 13 "Phone interface: Menus Memory functions (Menu 8)" on page 13-13.

After start-up, the communicator (or “B”) memory is selected automatically as the active memory. If you want, you may later set the phone interface to use the SIM card (“A”) memory instead of the communicator memory. The communicator interface applications, however, will always use the communicator memory. Also, the communicator memory can hold much more information than the SIM card memory.

All phone numbers copied from the SIM memory to the Contacts directory will go to the Tel field of the contact cards. Therefore, you must move all mobile phone numbers manually into the correct field. See chapter 3 "Contacts: Contact cards" on page 3-1.

A valid miniature plug-in SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is required for making and receiving calls. The card is supplied by your network operator or service provider.

The SIM card contains all information the cellular network needs for identification of the network user. The network operator or service provider may prevent the use of the communicator with any other but the operator’s or provider’s own SIM cards. If an unacceptable SIM card

is inserted, the message INVALID SIM CARD will be displayed. Should this happen, contact your dealer or network operator.

Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small

children’s reach. Before installing the SIM card, close the device cover and switch off the phone interface (press ).

Figure 2-2

When the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled corner will remain visible (figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3

When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the battery:

1 Insert the battery in the communicator so

that the side with the four golden connector plates goes in first (figure 2-4).

Figure 2-4

2 Push the battery down towards the catch un-

til it clicks into place. Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the power.

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 into the slot as described above.

Figure 2-6

Your Nokia 9000i Communicator is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The High Power Battery provides up to three hours of talk/fax/ terminal time or 35 hours of standby time. Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer.

Charging the battery

Use only chargers approved by the communicator manufacturer for charging a Lithium-Ion battery.

The communicator can be used during charging. To charge a battery with the adapter and a charger:

1 Install the battery. 2 Attach the adapter to the bottom of the com-

municator as shown in figure 2-7. Insert the curved pin into the right-hand side aperture at the end of the communicator. Push the left side of the adapter gently towards the com-

Chapter 2 - Getting started 2-5

municator until the left locking pin engages. (If you try to force the adapter into place upside down, you may accidentally break off the curved guiding pin.)

Figure 2-7

3 Connect the charger lead to the adapter, as

shown in figure 2-8.

Figure 2-8

4 Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet. If

the phone interface is switched on, the CHARGING message appears on the display and segments of the battery indicator bar on the right side of the phone interface display will start scrolling. (Charging information is also shown on the communicator interface

display, see ”Indicators” on page 2-9.)

5 When the battery is fully charged (the bars stop

scrolling and five bars are displayed), you may remove the adapter from the communicator: Hold down the release button on the left side

of the adapter (see figure 2-7), and turn the adapter away from the communicator.

When the charge is low and only a few minutes of operation time remain, a warning tone will be heard, and the message BATTERY LOW will be repeated at regular intervals on the 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 automatically switches itself off.

Note: If the tones have been switched off (see

chapter 4 "Telephone: Telephone settings

- Ringing settings" on page 4-6), only the display messages will appear.

Using the battery

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

The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the operation time (talk-time and standby 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: it may require cooling or warming first.

Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both interfaces are on, radio signal strength, various phone settings, and the length of the communicator interface’s screen blanker period (set in System application’s settings, see chapter 10 "System: System settings" on page 10-1).

It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping the battery charged maximises the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power to the communicator’s realtime clock. In case the backup battery is drained, it may be replaced by qualified personnel.

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

2-6 Communicator interface

Note:

• 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 (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals 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.

Communicator interface

• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, 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. Li-Ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 0° C (+32° F).

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

Figure 2-9

The communicator interface is activated by pressing the cover lock catch and opening the cover (see figure 2-9).

The applications are run in the middle of the display. The indicators (see figure 2-10) show application and system-related information (see

”Indicators” on page 2-9). The commands always relate to the column of four command buttons on the right side of the display cover.

Whenever the selection frame is shown, you can select items by moving the selection frame with

Chapter 2 - Getting started 2-7

the scroll buttons or the up/down arrow keys (see

Figure 2-10

”Keyboard” on page 2-10). When the search field appears at the bottom of the display, you can search for items by entering text into the search field with the keyboard.

After the correct item has been selected, press the command button corresponding to the command you wish to apply to the item, for example, Open.

The following figures illustrate certain communicator interface conventions:

1. When a command appears dimmed, the command cannot be used (see the figure below).

2. When a value appears on a dotted line with a cursor, enter a new value manually via the keyboard.

3. A pop-up box. Choose an item and press OK or Cancel (see the figure below).

When a setting with next to it is selected, pressing Change toggles the value or opens a pop-up box. See the figure above. When a setting

with next to it is selected, pressing Change opens a new settings view. When you press a

command with next to its name, as in Logs in figure 2-10, only the command set changes.

2-8 Communicator applications

Communicator applications

The coloured application buttons on the communicator interface keyboard are used to start the corresponding applications (described in the following chapters of this manual).

Tel. — Telephone is used for managing voice calls.

Fax — Fax enables you to send any of your own documents as a fax. Received faxes can be read or forwarded.

SMS — Short Message Service enables you to send short messages. Received short messages can be read, forwarded or replied to.

Internet — Internet applications include Internet and modem-based applications: Mail, World Wide Web, Telnet and Terminal (VT100 compliant).

Contacts — Contacts is used for managing your contact information: names, numbers and addresses. You can exchange contact information as business cards via the SMS application.

Extras — The Extras application group includes Text Web, Calculator, Clock, Composer, Converter, and Wireless data backup.

Using the applications

When the cover is opened, the application that was active when you closed the cover, appears in the same state. However, if you have made or answered a voice call via the phone interface and switch to the communicator interface by opening the device cover, the Telephone application activates automatically.

To switch to another application, press the corresponding application button. You can do this even during an active call.

Note: You need not “exit” any application before

starting another. All inactive applications are run in the background until they are activated again. However, if the battery is removed or completely discharged, all data will be saved, but the applications return to their default states.

Note: Information need not be specifically saved

(there is no “Save” command). Nokia 9000i Communicator saves all data automatically.

To send or receive calls or messages with any of the communications applications, remember that the phone interface must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

Chapter 3 - Contacts 3-1

3. Contacts

The Contacts application is used for:

• Creating, editing, and managing all contact information, such as phone numbers, addresses and speed dials.

• Viewing logs of all incoming and outgoing calls (voice, data and fax calls and SMS messages), see ”Logs” on page 3-3.

Contact cards

Contacts main view shows the Contacts directory, which is a list of all contact cards. The contact cards are listed in alphabetical order according to the name in each contact card’s Name field.

To create a new contact card, press New in the Contacts main view.

To open an existing contact card, locate the contact card you want to open and press Open. A contact can be located in two ways:

1. Scrolling the contact list — Move the selection

frame with the scroll buttons until the contact you are searching for is shown within the selection frame.

2. Using the search field — Enter text into the

search field. The search looks for matches in the Name, Company and Address fields. The search re- sults can be cleared by deleting characters one by one from the search field with the backspace key.

Pressing Menu in the Contacts directory opens a new set of commands:

Delete — Erases selected card. Copy card — Creates a duplicate card. Directory info — Shows the amount of con-

Telephone, Fax, SMS and Mail applications all use information found in the Contacts application.

You will find the Nokia HelpLine contact cards in the Contacts directory. The HelpLine answers questions and offers instructions over the phone.

tact data. Settings — Allows you to change the follow- ing settings:

Contact card template — The contact card template defines which fields are included in all new contact cards you create. You can modify the contact card template as described in "Editing contact cards" below. Changes made to the template affect all new, but not existing contact cards. You cannot enter text into the template’s fields.

Log length — With Log length, you can define how recent contacts will be listed in the General and Individual logs. The possible values are: Zero / 10 days / 30 days (de- fault) / 1 year / User defined: days (0 – 365 days).

Editing contact cards

When you have opened a contact card, you can enter new and edit existing contact information in the various fields. To move from one field to another, use the scroll or arrow keys. You can add

ter key. To return to the Contacts directory, press Close.

Figure 3-1

When entering phone numbers into the Tel fields, by storing a + character in front of the country code, you can use the same phone number abroad. You can enter numbers and the following characters in the Tel, DTMF and Fax fields (for information on the functions of these characters see table 3-1):

Tel field: +, #, *, p, w, -, [space] DTMF field: #, *, p, w, -, [space] Fax field: +, -, [space]

When storing phone numbers or DTMF sequences, you can use hyphens and spaces to arrange the appearance of the strings. This will not affect the way the numbers or DTMF tones will be dialled.

Customising contact cards

If you want to remove or add fields, or edit the field labels of the currently opened contact card, press Fields in the contact card view (see figure 3-

1). If you want to modify the field settings of all future contact cards, you must edit the contact

card template, see ”Contact cards” on page 3-1. To add new fields to the contact card:

1 Press Add field. A pop-up box opens, listing

the available fields.

2 Select a field and press OK. There can only be

one Name, Job title, Company and Note field.

ter 9 "Calendar: Calendar booking - Booking password" on page 9-4).

To customise the label of the selected field:

1 Select the field and press Change label. 2 Select one of the predefined labels or scroll

down to the field with a dotted line and write the label text, e.g., Cottage or Modem, and press OK.

To delete the currently selected field:

Press Delete field. The Name field cannot be deleted.

Note: You can only send short messages to mo-

bile phone numbers stored in the Tel(GSM) or Tel(PCN) fields.

If you press Menu in an opened contact card, the following commands become available:

Copy card — Creates a copy of the current card. Copy contents — Copies the contents of the

card to a clipboard. You can add this information to faxes, notes and other documents by pressing Ctrl-V.

Delete card — Deletes the opened card. Next card and Previous card — Opens the next

and the previous card in the list respectively. Copy to hotlist — Copies the URL field of the contact card to the WWW hotlist (see chapter 7 "Internet: Hotlist" on page 7-12).

Note: The Tel/Fax field is for alternating calls (see

chapter 4 "Telephone: Managing calls - Alternating calls" on page 4-5). The Password field is for the booking password (see chap-

Speed dials

The Speed dials command (see figure 3-1) lets you assign speed dials to eight phone numbers

Chapter 3 - Contacts 3-3

(number 1 is reserved for calling your voice mailbox, see chapter 4 "Telephone: Telephone settings" on page 4-6). For information on how to use the speed dials, see chapter 13 "Phone interface: Using memory - Dialling shortcuts" on page 13-5.

To set speed dials:

1 Press Speed dials in an opened contact card.

All phone number fields of the contact card are shown.

2 Select a field to which you want to assign a

speed dial and press Change. Select a location and press OK.

To change or remove speed dials:

1 Select the speed dial you want to change or

remove and press Change.

2 Move the selection frame to the location you

want to use and press OK. If you want to remove a speed dial location, choose None.

Storing DTMF tones

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones allow you to communicate with voice mailboxes, computerised telephony systems, etc. For information on how to send DTMF tones, see chapter 4 "Telephone: Managing calls - Sending DTMF tones" on page 4-5, or chapter 13 "Phone interface: Sending DTMF tones" on page 13-3.

• If you only communicate with the contact using DTMF tones, create a contact card for the DTMF contact.

• If you need both a voice and a DTMF phone number for the contact, add a new field to an existing contact card. The DTMF sequence can be stored either in the Tel field, after the telephone number, or separately, in a DTMF field. If you store the sequence in a Tel field, the phone number and the DTMF sequence must be separated by one of the DTMF special characters. Label the field (with Change label) so you can identify the DTMF sequence.

The DTMF special characters are listed in the following table:

Character Function

* and #

p (pause)

w (wait)

May be used if the DTMF service requires them.

Inserts a pause of 2.5 seconds in front of, or between, DTMF digits.

When the “w” character is stored in a sequence, the rest of the sequence is not sent until you press Send again in the Telephone application.

Table 3-1

Logs

The Contacts application shows all communication events as two logs:

• General log shows all (or certain types of) communication events in chronological order, see figure 3-2.

• Individual log shows a list of all communication events relating to the selected contact.

To access the logs:

1 Press Logs in the Contacts main view. The

command set changes.

2 Select the desired log type by pressing either

Individual log or General log.

To erase the contents of the log:

1 Press Clear list. A pop-up box opens to let you

define which contacts will be deleted (measured in days). The clearing procedure reflects on the other log, as well.

To create a new contact card:

1 Open the General log.

3-4 Contacts directory and the phone interface

2 Select a log event and press Create card. If

the contact card already exists, the command is dimmed.

Figure 3-2

To view only certain communication types:

1 Open the General log and press Filter. 2 Select the communication type you want to

view and press OK.

Note: Remote mailbox, Terminal and Internet

connections are logged as data calls.

Contacts directory and the phone interface

Copying contact information between the interfaces is possible only via the phone interface (see chapter 13 "Phone interface: Menus - Memory functions (Menu 8)" on page 13-13, except when a new SIM card is inserted into the communicator and you open the communicator interface. In that case, you will be prompted to confirm the copying of the SIM memory contents into the Contacts directory, as described in chapter 2 "Getting started: First start-up - SIM card contents" on page 2-2.

When the memory contents of a SIM card are copied to the directory, the Contacts application will create the same number of new contact cards as the number of memory locations in use on the SIM card. The numbers in the SIM card memory locations are inserted in the Tel field of the contact card.

When contact information is copied from the Contacts directory to the SIM card, the contact

names may not fully fit in the SIM card’s memory.

Entering contact information via the phone interface

Entering new or editing existing contact names and phone numbers via the phone interface will create a new contact card in the Contacts directory. See chapter 13 "Phone interface: Using memory - Storing information via the phone interface" on page 13-5.

Note: When you store or copy phone numbers

from the phone interface to the Contacts directory, the phone numbers go to the Tel field, not to the Tel(GSM) or Tel(PCN) field. Sending SMS messages requires, however, that the recipient’s mobile phone number is stored in the Tel(GSM) or Tel(PCN) field.

Check that the phone numbers are in the correct fields in the contact card.

Chapter 4 - Telephone 4-1

The audio control enables you to adjust the volume level and to activate the communicator’s loudspeaker for handsfree operation. The audio control is available only when you have an active call.

In the handsfree mode, you can speak and listen to the phone from a short distance away when the cover is open. This function is not available when the cover is closed (except in a car installation). The Telephone setting Audio when cover opened (in the settings group Other settings, see

can be made in many ways, for example, via the phone interface.

Note the following Telephone features:

• Opening or closing the cover does not affect active phone calls.

• If you have made a voice call via the phone interface and you open the cover, the Telephone application starts automatically. You can continue the call after activating the handsfree mode (see "Audio control").

• When you make a call via the communicator interface (with the Telephone application), the handsfree mode is activated automatically.

”Telephone settings” on page 4-6), determines whether the handsfree mode is activated automatically after you open the cover. To activate the handsfree mode manually, press the Audio on command button.

After audio has been activated, the command changes to Audio control. Pressing Audio con- trol lets you adjust the speaker volume or turn audio off. The indicator in the audio control view shows the chosen volume level.

Making a call

Figure 4-1

There are three ways to make a call:

1. Make the call manually: Write the telephone number to the search

field and press Call.

2. Call the selected contact using the Telephone

directory:

When you have no active voice calls, the Telephone main view shows the Telephone directory (figure 4-1). Contact cards that do not contain any phone numbers appear dimmed in the Telephone directory and cannot be selected. (Phone numbers can be added to the contact cards in the Contacts application.)

Choose a contact in the Telephone directory, either by scrolling or by searching (type text in the search field), and press Call.

If the contact has more than one phone number, a pop-up box opens, listing all phone numbers. Choose a number from the list and press Call.

3. Call a number in the Recent calls list:

1 Press the Recent calls command button. 2 Select one of the recent calls lists (dialled, re-

ceived or missed calls) and press Open.

3 Select a number from the list and press Call.

Once you have made the call, you can close the cover and continue the call in the phone interface, unless you want to use the handsfree mode.

Note: If you press Clear all lists in the Recent

calls view, all the information in the lists is removed. When you open one of the lists and select a contact, Copy number copies the phone number to a clipboard where it can be copied to documents by pressing Ctrl-V.

Calling card call

A phone calling card is a credit or debit card especially for phone charges. A calling card may be useful when making long distance calls while travelling, to benefit from the discounted rates offered by certain calling card companies.

Define the calling card information in the Calling card settings (see "Telephone settings: Calling card settings" on page 4-7).

To make a call with a calling card:

1 Select a contact from the Telephone directo-

ry, or enter the number in the search field.

2 Press Call for more than three seconds until

the command changes into Calling card call.

3 Release the button, wait for a tone and then

press OK.

You can also make a calling card call from the phone interface:

1 After entering the phone number, press the

key for three seconds.

2 Wait for the tone and then press OK.
