Connectivity - Nokia 6170 User Manual

• Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device or PC using an IR connection
or a data cable. You can also use the phone as a wireless modem to enable GPRS
mobile link from a compatible PC.
For information on using a data communication application, refer to the
documentation provided with the application.
For more information on Nokia PC Suite applications, see the Nokia PC Suite
online help. Nokia PC Suite and all related software can be downloaded from

Infrared
You can send or receive data such as business cards, graphics, images, sound
clips, videos, and calendar notes to or from a compatible phone or data device
(such as a computer) using the IR port of your phone.
For better performance during an IR connection, place the phone on a stationary
surface. Do not move the phone while the IR connection is active. The preferable
distance between the two devices in an IR connection is from 3 inches to 3 feet.
Do not point the IR beam at anyone's eye or allow it to interfere with other IR
devices. This device is a Class 1 laser product.
SEND AND RECEIVE DATA
1 Verify that the IR ports of the sending and receiving devices are pointing
at each other and that there are no obstructions between the devices.
2 To activate IR in your phone, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity >

3 The user of the other device should activate IR as well.
If data transfer is not started within 2 minutes after the activation of the IR
port, the connection is canceled and must be restarted.
