Tip: The communicator

Getting started

interface has no power on/ off button - it switches on when you open the cover and switches off when you close the cover.

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 organizer 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.

Support options

To get the most from your Communicator, Nokia’s support options are designed to be flexible and comprehensive. You can find online learning, developer’s forums, and customer care.

If a valid SIM card is inserted in your communicator, the business card may have retrieved some information from the SIM card.

10 A note confirming that you have completed start-up successfully appears.

Press OK.

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 out of the slot, and insert it again.

Memory card

The memory card supplied with your Nokia 9290 Communicator is already inserted in the memory card slot. You can use a memory card 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: The memory card is hot-swap-capable between the Communicator and

some digital cameras, MP3 players, and PC card readers. However, file formats may vary between the Communicator and other devices. Check the user manual of your camera, MP-3 player, or PC card reader to determine compatibility with the Communicator. Do not remove the memory card while reading or saving a file.

Inserting a memory card

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

press .

2 Open the hatch at the back of the communicator, using a minimum of two

fingers - one finger on each side of the hatch.

3 Slide the memory card under the memory card holder as shown in Figure 5.

Make sure that the gold contacts of the card are facing down.

Tip: To use the online

help, open the cover and press the

(help) key.

Getting started

Tip: To check the current

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

4 When you have secured the card in place, close the hatch.

Charging the battery

Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page 9.

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

in Figure 6.

Figure 6

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.

WARNING: Keep all SIM cards and memory cards out of the reach of

small children.

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.

Getting started

Tip: Read this section

for information on how to prolong the life of your battery.

Getting started

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.

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 always recommended 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.
