Introduction

Tip: 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.

The Nokia 9210 Communicator consists of two parts: the phone and the communicator interface. The phone is on the device cover and the communicator interface is inside the cover, both as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

communicator interface

Figure 2

Both these parts use the same information from the memory of the communicator

- 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 voice and data communications, for example, when sending and 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 phone is designed for making and answering calls quickly. The communicator looks and operates like other Nokia wireless phones, except the earpiece and microphone are at 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.

Getting help

Online Help

The communicator has a help function, which you can access from any application or view.

To view help, press the key on the communicator interface keyboard. You are shown a page of information relevant to the task you are doing. You can also search the help topics for specific subjects and keywords.

Note: The help application is located on the memory card. If you remove or

replace the original memory card, you will not be able to view the help topics, unless you use PC Suite to install the help from the sales

package CD-ROM onto the new memory card. For more information, see troubleshooting section 20 on page 246 and the PC Suite Guide on the CD-ROM.

Introduction

About the guides in the sales package

To help you begin to use your communicator, turn to the Getting Started Guide supplied in your sales package. It explains the start-up procedure and gives basic information on how to use the various applications.

Introduction

This user’s guide explains in more detail how the Nokia 9210 Communicator operates. “General information” identifies the various parts of the communicator and their functions, as well as the common features of the communicator.

The rest of this user’s guide deals with the communicator applications and the phone. There is a short glossary of Internet and wireless terms and abbreviations at the back of the user’s guide.

The PC Suite Guide explains the functionality of PC Suite for Nokia 9210 Communicator. With PC Suite you can move, copy, synchronise, back up, and restore data between your communicator and a compatible PC.

The Software on CD-ROM Guide explains in detail the functionality of the applications found on the CD-ROM that you can install on your communicator.

The PC Suite Guide and the Software on CD-ROM Guide are both on the CD-ROM under the section “Using the Nokia 9210 Communicator”.

The Add-on Applications Guide gives a brief introduction of other software available for the Nokia 9210 Communicator. This guide is only available in a printed version.

The Settings Checklist helps you to connect your Nokia 9210 Communicator with different kinds of wireless services.

If you are switching from the Nokia 9000 Communicator, the Nokia 9000i Communicator, the Nokia 9110 Communicator, or the Nokia 9110i Communicator to the Nokia 9210 Communicator, see ‘To transfer data from other devices’ on page 36 and in the PC Suite Guide on the CD-ROM.

Note: In this user’s guide and the Getting started guide, the names of the

commands on the display are in bold and the settings and options are in italics.

Facts about your communicator

About network services

The wireless phone described in this user’s guide is a dual band phone using either GSM 900 or 1800 networks automatically.

A number of features included in this user’s guide are called network services. They are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these network 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’s guide. The manual activation commands for various services are not presented in this user’s guide (for example, using the and characters for activating or deactivating services). The Nokia 9210 Communicator, nevertheless, is capable of handling commands given in that form. For these commands, please consult with your service providers.

Introduction

Tip: Write the information you obtain from your service provider down on the Settings Checklist for future reference.

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’s guide. Therefore, this user’s guide gives general information about 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 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 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.

Stickers on the sales package

The stickers contain important information for service and customer support purposes. Keep these stickers in a safe and secure place.

Attach the sticker to the page preceding the Table of Contents of this user’s guide. The correct place for the sticker is indicated with a frame.

Attach the sticker to the Club Nokia Invitation Card, if supplied in the sales package.

Access codes

The Nokia 9210 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 (the predetermined default lock code is 12345), 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 further details on access codes, see ‘Phone security’ on page 215.

The Internet applications of the communicator use passwords and user names to protect against unauthorised 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.

Introduction

Tip: You can synchronise the contact information on your communicator with a corresponding application on a compatible PC. See the PC Suite Guide on the CDROM for details.

GSM data transmission

The Nokia 9210 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the GSM network to send faxes, short messages, and e-mail, and to establish

Introduction

connections with remote computers. 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 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:

Introduction

• 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.
