1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9110 Communicator. The Nokia 9110 Communicator is a complete communications tool: it is a wireless phone, messaging device, access terminal and a palmtop organiser in one pocketable package.

Figure 1

The Nokia 9110 Communicator consists of two parts: the phone and the communicator interface. The phone is on the device cover (figure 1) and the communicator interface is under the cover (figure 2).

Introduction

Figure 2

Both of these parts use the same resources and work closely together – they are not separate devices. For example, the phone uses the names and phone numbers stored in the Contacts directory of the communicator interface, and the communicator interface uses the phone for communicating with the

Introduction

“outside world”, for example, when sending or receiving faxes and connecting to the Internet.

The communicator interface contains many organiser and communications applications. The large keyboard, command buttons and display make using the applications easy. The communicator interface has no power on/off button – it switches itself on when you open the cover and switches off when you close the cover.

Tip: Press the button on the communicator interface keyboard to find basic information about the communicator applications.

The phone is designed for making and answering calls quickly. It looks and operates like other Nokia wireless phones, except that the earpiece and microphone are on the rear of the device. The phone is switched on and off by pressing the button on the cover.

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

About this manual

This chapter explains how the Nokia 9110 Communicator operates. The following chapter, "Getting started", helps you begin using the Nokia 9110 Communicator. It explains the start-up procedure and gives information about the various aspects of the device, such as the keyboard and the display. "Special features" explains special functions, and "Computer connectivity" shows how to connect your communicator to a PC.

The rest of this manual deals with the communicator applications and the phone. There is a short glossary of Internet and cellular terms and abbreviations at the back of this manual.

If you are switching from the Nokia 9000 Communicator or the Nokia 9000i Communicator to the Nokia 9110 Communicator, please, see ”To transfer data from older communicator models” on page 37.

Note: In this manual, the names of the commands on the display are in bold and the settings and options are in italics.

Facts about your communicator

Services

The GSM system provides a number of various wireless services, but they are not automatically enabled to the wireless phone user. Even though the Nokia 9110 Communicator represents the latest development in wireless phone technology, using its various communications applications requires that you have subscribed to these services and that your network operator has activated these services for you. 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 manual. Therefore, this manual gives general information about the additional services. Please, contact your network operator for further information about the availability and the details of services in your home network.

If a service requires a separate phone number 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 network you are using and activated for your SIM card, and that the phone number of the message centre is stored in the settings of the SMS application.

Internet access requires that data service is supported by the network 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 9110 Communicator uses several access codes to protect against unauthorised use of your communicator and SIM card. The access codes you need most often are the lock code, which is provided in the sales package, and the PIN code, which is provided with the SIM card.

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 more details on the access codes, see ”Security” on page 127.

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

Introduction

Contact information

All contact information, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, that you store, goes into the Contacts directory. The phone, the communicator

Introduction

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 the phone number(s) of the contact. Possible fax numbers, e-mail addresses, job titles, etc., are not shown.

Facts about cellular data transmission

The Nokia 9110 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the GSM network to send faxes, short messages and e-mail, and to establish connections with remote computers.

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

Noise

Radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from other wireless phones in metropolitan areas where wireless phones are prevalent.

Handover

As the wireless phone user moves from one network cell to another, the signal strength of the channel drops and the cellular telephone exchange may hand the user over 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 cellular traffic loads. Such handovers may cause slight delays.

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 “garbled” display and unstable software operation. Cellular connections may become unreliable, data may be corrupted, and the transmission halted. In this case you need to end the existing call (if any), switch off the phone (if on) and remove the battery. Then replace the battery and establish a new cellular connection.

Dead spots and dropouts

Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the wireless phone user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographic or structural obstructions.

Signal impairment

Distance and obstacles can cause out-of-phase reflected signals that 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 cellular connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember to consider the following points:

The data connection works best when the communicator is in a stationary position. Attempting cellular 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. Check that the cellular signal strength on the communicator displays is

sufficient. See ”Communicator display” on page 20 and ”To make a call” on page 149. Moving the communicator within a room especially towards a window, may result in a stronger signal. If the cellular 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.

Introduction

2. Getting started

This chapter explains how to start up your communicator and install a SIM card, how the communicator operates, and how to supply power to the communicator.

When you open the sales package, check that it contains the following:

• Nokia 9110 Communicator

• This User’s manual, the combined Quick guide and Accessories guide, and the Solution guide

• High Power Battery

•AC charger

• RS-232 Adapter Cable

• Diskette package

• CD-ROM with PC connectivity software

• Stickers with the serial number and the lock code of the communicator

For information about the Nokia 9110 Communicator accessories, see the Accessories guide.

First start-up

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

on, press .

A valid miniature SIM card is required for sending and receiving calls and messages. The card is supplied by your network operator or service provider. If you do not have a SIM card yet, go to step 6.

Getting started

Note: Keep all miniature

SIM cards out of small children’s reach.

2 If the battery is connected to the communicator, remove the battery: press

the catch at the top of the battery and lift the battery away from the battery cavity. See figure 1.

Getting started

Figure 1

3 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot: make sure that the gold contacts

of the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled corner of the card is on the right. See figure 2.

Figure 2

4 When the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled

corner will remain visible. See figure 3.

Figure 3

Note: If an unacceptable SIM card is inserted, the message INVALID SIM CARD will be displayed. Should this happen, contact your dealer or network operator.

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

battery.

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. If the SIM card is incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it away from the slot, and insert it again.

6 If there is little or no charge in the battery, it is recommended that you

connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the battery before continuing with the start-up procedure. See ”Battery” on page 27.

7 Open the cover of the communicator. You will see a welcome screen while

the communicator performs a self-test.

8 After the self-test is complete, you will see a list of countries on the

display, see figure 4. Scroll the dark grey selection frame using the arrow keys on the keyboard over the name of your home country. Press the button on the right side of the display next to the command OK. The capital of your home country will be set as your home city. You can change your home city later in the Clock application, see ”Clock” on page 138.

Getting started

Figure 4

11 Enter your contact information in the user data card and press OK. You can

Getting started

later change the information in the User data application under System. The first start-up is now completed. After the start-up, do not immediately remove the battery, as the battery

charges the backup battery that supplies power to the real-time clock of the communicator.

Note: When taking the phone into use, observe the instructions given by your network operator.

To copy the SIM card contents to the Contacts directory

If the installed SIM card contains names or numbers, you will be asked after the start-up procedure if you want to copy the SIM card contents into the memory of your communicator. If the phone is switched off, the question will be asked the next time the phone is on and you open the cover of the communicator.

If you want to do the copying later, press Cancel, and do it in the Contacts application, see ”Contacts directory” on page 49.

All phone numbers copied from the SIM card to the communicator memory will go to the Tel field of the contact cards. Therefore, you must move all wireless phone numbers manually into the Tel(GSM) field. See ”To make contact cards” on page 51. The quickest way to copy a phone number is to select the number with the key combination Shift-Ctrl-left arrow, cut it with Ctrl-X, and paste it to the right contact card field with Ctrl-V.

Communicator display

The communicator interface is switched on by opening the cover. See figure 5. The applications are run in the middle of the display. The indicators (figure 6)

show application and system-related information. The commands always correspond to the column of four command buttons on the right side of the display. The functions of the Menu, Zoom and Backlight buttons are explained in ”Communicator features” on page 31.

The scroll bar indicates that there are more items than currently shown on the display. The display can be scrolled with the up and down arrow keys.

Whenever the selection frame is shown, you can select items by moving the selection frame over the desired item with the up and down arrow keys.

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: If the battery is fully discharged, 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.

To use the battery

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.

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 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: 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, the use of the backlight, and the length of the screen blanker period, see ”System settings” on page 125.

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 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

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery which 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 (metal strips at the bottom of the battery), for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Shortcircuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

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. 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.
