Important: If you are unable to order the RS-232C serial cable as an accessory, you may be able to purchase a USB-to-RS-
232C adapter. This device may be available at your local computer retailer, or via the Internet. Or you may consider using IR
as your connection method.
IR (infrared) connection
Your PalmOS device may be equipped with an infrared port. You may find it more convenient to connect your phone and PalmOS
device using IR, especially if you prefer to leave your serial cable or docking cradle attached to your PC.
Before dialing, make sure you enable infrared communications on your PalmOS device, then align the IR ports of the 2 devices. The
preferable distance between the two devices in an infrared 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.
Bluetooth connection
You may be able to purchase a Bluetooth adapter that adds Bluetooth connectivity to your Palm device. Before you can make
Bluetooth connection between your PalmOS device and phone, please make sure the Bluetooth adapter and accompanying
software is installed properly.
Once your Bluetooth device's connection software is installed, Bluetooth is added to the list of connection methods in the PalmOS
software.
