3. CONNECTING A COMPATIBLE PHONE AND A COMPATIBLE PC

You may need to connect a compatible Nokia phone and a compatible PC for two purposes:

• for transferring information between Nokia PC Suite and the phone or

• for using the phone as a modem to access a data network with the PC.

You can use an infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth technology, or a cable connection, depending on what connection types the phone or the PC supports and what options are selected during the installation of Nokia PC Suite.

3.1 CONNECTION BETWEEN A COMPATIBLE PHONE AND NOKIA PC SUITE

• Used when transferring information between a compatible phone and Nokia PC Suite (for example when you synchronise compatible calendar items and contacts between your phone and the PC, transfer images or ringing tones, or install applications with Nokia PC Suite)

• Use Nokia Connection Manager to define or change the connection type. Nokia Connection Manager is installed automatically with any of the Nokia PC Suite applications, except Nokia Modem Options, which does not use it.

• The connection between Nokia PC Suite applications and a compatible phone is created automatically, if the phone is connected to the PC when opening the applications.

• For more information on using Nokia Connection Manager with different connection types, see Appendix A in this document.

3.2 USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM

• Used when sending and receiving data over a data network such as the Internet

• Install Nokia Modem Options during Nokia PC Suite installation.

"Network and Dial-up Connection” in Windows 2000 and “Network Connection” in XP). Change the modem settings in Windows Control Panel -> Nokia Modem Options.

Note: You cannot use Nokia Connection Manager for using your phone as a modem with Nokia Modem Options! Make sure that all connection types are disabled in Nokia Connection Manager when making a data call.
