[ 2 ]
Introduction
• PRINT THIS GUIDE
If you have the electronic version of this guide only, Nokia recommends
you print a copy for use during installation. No other applications should
be running during the installation of PC Suite and during wireless modem
setup. Therefore, reading this guide using Adobe Acrobat reader during
installation is not recommended.
• OBSERVE ABBREVIATIONS
For the purposes of this user guide, the following abbreviations are used:
Abbreviation Description
PC Refers to both desktop and laptop computers
IR Infrared

PIM Personal Information Manager
ISP Internet Service Provider
• OBSERVE SAFETY NOTES
• Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or
when it may cause interference or danger.
• Please make backup copies of all important data to protect against
possible loss or alteration.
• When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
• To avoid any potential loss of data, you should not make or receive calls
while synchronizing data between the phone and a PC.
• Do not point the IR beam at anyone’s eyes or allow it to interfere with
other IR devices.
• To disconnect the cable from the phone, hold the connector and remove
the cable.
[ 3 ]
1
• LEARN ABOUT INFRARED COMMUNICATIONS
You may chose to use IR as your connection between phone and PC. The
preferable distance between two IR-equipped devices is a range of three
inches to three feet maximum. There must be no obstructions between
the two devices and the IR ports of the two devices have to be pointing
at each other.
Your Nokia phone is a Class 1 Laser Product.
Enable infrared communications
Windows Millennium Edition (ME), Windows 2000, and Windows XP users
do not need to enable infrared communications on their PC prior to using
this feature. The infrared port is always active.
If you use Windows 98, you can use the Infrared Control Panel to activate
or deactivate infrared communications.
To enable infrared communications on your phone, please refer to the
infrared section in your phone’s user guide.
Interruptions to infrared communications
Windows provides visual and audible notification when it senses an
interruption to infrared communications between your phone and PC.
Windows allows you to re-establish infrared communications between
the two devices so it can re-send the data that was being transferred
when the interruption occurred.
TIME-OUT
If the infrared connection between your phone and PC has not been reestablished within 15 seconds, a “time-out” occurs, meaning Windows no
longer searches for your phone and terminates the infrared connection.

Nokia PC Suite Installation
2 Nokia PC Suite Installation
Nokia PC Suite 4.6 is a collection of powerful tools that you can use to
manage your phone’s features and data. PC Suite consists of the following
components:
• Nokia Content Copier allows you to copy data between two Nokia
phones, to back up your phone’s data to your PC, and erase data from
your phone.
• Nokia Connection Manager allows you to monitor the serial
connection between your phone and PC and switch to a different type
of connection (cable vs. infrared) when copying data from one phone
to another.
2
• Nokia PC Composer allows you to create new ringing tones for your
phone.
• Nokia PC Sync allows you to synchronize contacts, calendar and todo list notes between your phone and PIM applications such as
Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Organizer.
• Nokia Phone Editor allows you to edit your phone book and settings
from your PC.
• LEARN ABOUT IR FOR ME AND XP USERS
Your phone also functions as a wireless modem and is designed to be
detected by Windows Plug and Play.
During the PC Suite installation process, you are asked to choose how you
want to connect your phone and PC - either via IR or serial cable. If you
select IR, you are prompted to enable infrared communications on your
phone, then align the infrared ports of the 2 devices.
[ 5 ]
2
Plug and Play detection
Because infrared is always active on PCs running ME or XP (including
automatic software installation for Plug and Play devices), the Windows
Add New Hardware Wizard detects your phone as a new hardware device
during the PC Suite installation. This interferes with the PC Suite software
installation process.
Before installing PC Suite
Nokia recommends that Windows ME and XP users who want to use IR as
their serial connection for PC Suite perform the modem installation prior
to installing PC Suite. Please see “Wireless modem setup” on page 43 and
perform this task prior to installing Nokia PC Suite. Once you have
performed the modem installation, you may continue with the
installation instructions below.

plan on using IR to connect to your PC, please enable IR
communications on your PC now.
Once the software download is complete and/or the segments have been
rejoined:
1 Double-click the installation file PC Suite 4.6.exe that you
downloaded to your hard drive.

interface to help you
perform the tasks listed
above. If you are copying
data from one of the
compatible phones above using a cable connection, please make sure the
phone is connected to your PC via cable before you begin.
[ 10 ]
Nokia Content Copier
Launch Content Copier from the Start Menu (Start - Programs - Nokia PC
Suite 4 - Content Copier), then select the task you would like to perform.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the task you want to
perform.
The following pages contain basic information and tips on using Nokia
Content Copier.
Important: Windows ME and XP users who are connecting to a PC

installation before installing PC Suite. If the Add New Hardware
Wizard launches when you establish an IR connection between
phone and PC, please click the wizard’s Cancel button. Close
Content Copier, then proceed to “Wireless modem setup” on
page 43 and follow the instructions. You can return to Content
3
Copier once the modem setup has been completed.
Copy information from the source phone
When you select Copy
data from a phone to a
PC, Content Copier
transfers all compatible
data types (phone book,
calendar, to-do, caller
groups, etc.) from the
phone containing the
data you want to back
up or transfer. This
phone is called the
“source phone” and can
be one of the phones listed on the previous page, or another Nokia 6370
or 6385 phone.
• If you are copying your phone’s data and want to save it on your PC,
Nokia Content Copier guides you through the process of saving the
information to your PC’s hard drive.
• If you are copying data from a different source to your Nokia 6370 or
[ 11 ]
3
6385 phone, the data must first be saved to your PC. Once you have
connected your 6370 or 6385 phone (“target” phone) via IR or cable,
follow the instructions found below: “Copy information to the target
phone”.
Save the source phone data
Once the source phone’s data has been read, Content Copier allows you
to save the information to your PC’s hard drive. Click the Save Data
button, then navigate to the location on your hard drive where you want
the information stored.

the information into the PC’s memory. You should have already saved the
source phone’s data to your PC via the Copy data from a phone to a PC
option.
1 Launch Content Copier, then click Next.
2 Click Next, then click Copy data from a PC to a phone.
3 Click the Select source Folder button. Locate the directory containing
the information you want to use.
4 Click Next to begin copying data from your PC to your phone.
[ 12 ]
Nokia Content Copier

drive, you are asked to determine the types of information you want
copied into your phone. The compatible data types are displayed along
with the ability to select the types of data you wish to transfer.
Use the check boxes next to the data types to select or deselect the
3
information you want to copy to your phone, then click Next.

detected right away,
switch to one of the other
connection types, then
back to the desired
connection type. This forces Connection Manager to redetect your phone.
Note: If you are copying data from one phone to another and the
source phone uses an infrared connection, interrupt the infrared
connection between source phone and PC. Allow the Windows
warning message regarding interrupted infrared communications to
completely time-out before aligning the target phone with your
PC’s infrared port. By doing so, you allow Connection Manager to
detect your phone more quickly.

• CREATE RINGING TONES FROM MIDI FILES
Nokia PC Composer allows you to open Standard MIDI files, then convert
the data to ringing tone format. Now you can carry your favorite PC MIDI
file as a ringing tone in your phone!

About Standard MIDI files
Standard MIDI files of popular music frequently consist of multiple
instruments (bass, drums, organ, etc.). Typically, there is also a track
dedicated to the song’s melody. There are two types of Standard MIDI
files:
• Type 0 files - 1 track of MIDI data containing all the various
instruments; each instrument assigned to different MIDI “channel.”
• Type 1 files - each instrument has its own dedicated track and MIDI
channel. Track/instrument names are embedded in the file as text
information.
PC Composer’s interface interprets the multiple track information and
allows you to choose the correct track or instrument.
Before you begin
If the MIDI sequence you want to use contains too many notes, the
following error message is displayed when trying to open the file:
Nokia PC Composer processes MIDI notes in octave 5 and 6 of the MIDI
keyboard. If your MIDI sequence contains notes outside this range, the
following error message is displayed when opening the file:

• WORK WITH RTTTL RINGING TONE FILES
Ringing Tones Text Transfer Language (RTTTL) files are text files that
contain various types of information that make up a ringing tone. When
your phone receives a ringing tone over the air, your phone is actually
receiving the information in RTTTL format. The RTTTL file includes song
title, scale and tempo indications, and the actual note information.
An RTTTL formatted ringing tone may appear as follows:
babbino:d=4,o=5,b=140:g#,g#,g#,2c6,g,2f,8p,2d#,g#
song title
scale and tempo data
note data
Use RTTTL data from the Internet
The Internet has become a popular source for sharing ringing tones in
RTTTL format. If you find a ringing tone Web site displaying the RTTTL
data, you can create your own RTTTL files by pasting the data into
Notepad, then save it using the .txt file extension.
PC Composer can open (and save) ringing tones in RTTTL format. Songs
you compose in PC Composer can be saved as RTTTL files, then shared with
family and friends via e-mail (for example).
Open an RTTTL file
1 Click the Open button (or select Open from the File menu).
2 Click the File of type drop down arrow, then select RTTTL files (*.txt)
from the list of available file types.
3 Locate the RTTTL file on your hard drive or other removable disk drive,
then double-click the file name to open.
4 Click the Convert track to tone button.
You can now send the ringing tone to your phone, edit the ringing tone
(as needed) and/or save the ringing tone as .ott (ringing tone) format on
your hard drive.
