Your Data Adapter

The data adapter grants you access from your personal computer to network services via your PremiCell terminal. Please ask your network operator for information on the availability of different services. Before you can benefit from the services provided by the data adapter, you may need to subscribe to the corresponding services (data, fax and SMS short messages service) available from your network operator.

Note: Use the data adapter and its cable only with PremiCell 09i/18i terminals.

Please note that normal landline modem is not compatible with the Nokia

PremiCell 09i/18i, so you cannot connect it to the terminal’s phone or fax socket. If you have a fax-modem, however, you can connect it to the terminal’s fax socket to send faxes from your computer.

Please also note that normal computer fax applications cannot be used with the direct RS232 data connection. You can have access to computer fax-services with the Nokia DataSuite software, described later in this User’s guide.
