Data and Fax Communication
You can use your mobile phone for sending and receiving data with a variety
of Windows compatible fax, terminal, and data programs. Remember to close
the Nokia PC Suite user interface, when you are making a data call. The data
transfer and fax functions depend on the programs you have chosen, not on
the computer nor this program. For information on how to use a
communications software package, please refer to its documentation for a
step by step description.
The phone's internal data supports three PC Fax standards: EIA/TIA Class 1,
Class 2 and Class 2.0. lf you have problems using the program for fax
transmission, ensure that the remote end fax machine is Group 3 compatible.
Before you can benefit from the functions provided by the program, you must
subscribe to the corresponding services (data, fax or SMS) from your cellular
network operator.
Charge in Phone and Computer Batteries
The power consumption of the phone is approximately the same for data/fax
calls as it is for voice calls of the same length. For charging the phone battery,
refer to the user's guide of your phone.
You can use the phone with the PC Suite for Nokia 8250 even when the phone
is being charged.
For portable usage, it is recommended that you have a charged computer
battery. lt is possible to charge the battery while in use.
Signal Strength Affecting Cellular Transmissions
When you are sending a fax, data, or an SMS message, you need to be in an
area with network coverage. Cellular connections can be made from most
locations where your mobile phone operates.
Cellular networks differ from landline networks in many ways, for example,
traffic loads and the strength of radio signals may vary in a cellular network
and cause handovers.
lt is recommended that you move the phone to a location where the strongest
possible cellular signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, cellular
transmission is efficient.
