details.

Before you can use your phone as a wireless modem with your data or fax software, there are a few things you need to know about
recent developments in the wireless data technology. Once you understand more about the different types of digital data and fax
services available to you, you can configure your data or fax software for the right type of service.
Please read "Learn about digital data" on page 35 for more information about digital data services before trying to configure your
Pocket PC device.

• USE AN IR CONNECTION

Your Pocket PC device should be equipped with an IR port. You may find it more convenient to connect your phone and Pocket PC
device using IR, especially if you prefer to leave your data cable or docking cradle attached to your PC.
Before dialing, make sure you enable IR communications on your Pocket PC device, then align the IR ports of the two devices. The
preferable distance between the two devices in an IR connection 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.

• CONFIGURE A GPRS/EDGE MODEM CONNECTION

The procedure for creating a new modem connection for use with your Nokia phone is similar to that found in the various Windows
desktop operating systems.
Important: You may need to first disable the Pocket PC option that automatically begins synchronization when an IR
connection is detected. For more information on this task, consult the user guide for your handheld device.
