Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-1

1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9000

Communicator. The Nokia 9000 Communicator is a versatile communication tool: it is a cellular phone, messaging device, access terminal and a palmtop organiser in one compact package.

This chapter helps you understand how the Nokia

9000 Communicator operates. The following

"Getting started" chapter helps you to begin using the Nokia 9000 Communicator. The rest of this manual deals with the communicator interface applications and the phone interface.

If you are an experienced cellular phone and mobile office user, read at least this introductory chapter and the "Getting started" chapter. Basic information about the communicator applications is always available in the context sensitive help, which can be activated by pressing the Help button on the communicator interface keyboard.

The Nokia 9000 Communicator has two interfaces, the phone interface (see figure 1-1) and the communicator interface (see figure 1-2). The phone interface is on the device cover and the communicator interface is under the cover.

The word “interface” emphasises the fact that both of these two aspects of the Nokia 9000

Communicator use the same resources and work closely together — they are not separate devices.

For example, the phone interface uses the names and phone numbers stored in the communicator interface’s Contacts directory, and the communicator interface uses the phone interface for communicating with the “outside world” (for example, when sending or receiving faxes and connecting to remote computers).

Figure 1-1

Figure 1-2


1-2 Important safety information

The phone interface is designed for quickly making and receiving calls. It looks and operates like other Nokia cellular phones (except that the earpiece and microphone are on the backside of the device). The phone interface is switched on and off by pressing the button on the cover.

IMPORTANT! Do not switch on the phone interface when cellular phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

The communicator interface has many organiser and communication applications. The QWERTY keyboard, command buttons and large display make using the applications easy. The communicator interface has no power on/off button – the communicator interface activates itself when you open the cover and deactivates when you close the cover.

Important safety information

Traffic safety

• Do not use the communicator while driving a vehicle. Park the vehicle before using the communicator.

• Always secure the communicator in its holder, and ensure that the locking mechanism on top of the holder is properly engaged; do not place the communicator on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

• The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.

• Remember, road safety always comes first!

Operating environment

• Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off your communicator’s phone interface whenever it is forbidden to use a cellular phone, or when it may cause interference or danger.

• Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the Nokia 9000

Communicator, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also be subject to interference.

• As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position.

• Users are advised to switch off the phone interface when at a refuelling point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the communicator, its parts or accessories.

• Only qualified personnel should install or service the communicator in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.

• Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems and other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

• Remember to make backup copies of all important data to protect against its possible loss or alteration.


Chapter 1 - Introduction

• When connecting the communicator to a PC or printer, please refer to the User’s Guides of those devices for detailed safety instructions.

• The infrared beam of the communicator may interfere with the functioning of other infrared devices that are not IrDA certified. Do not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye.

• Consult aircraft personnel as to whether you may use the communicator interface applications in an aircraft. However, always switch off the phone interface when in an aircraft.

The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is illegal.

• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.

Emergency calls

The Nokia 9000 Communicator, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals, cellular and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the communicator’s phone interface must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local cellular service providers.

Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the communicator.

To make an emergency call:

�

If the device cover is open, close the cover.

�

�

If the phone interface is not on, switch it on

(press the key).

Press and hold the key for several seconds to ready the phone interface for calls. If there is an active data or fax call, drop the call first by pressing the key.

1-3

�

�

Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g., 112 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.

Press the key.

If certain features are in use (call barring, fixed dialling, closed user group, system lock, keypad lock, etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call.

Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your cellular phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

Using this manual

The cellular phone described in this manual is approved for use in the digital cellular networks.

This manual is used for both the Nokia 9000

Communicator GSM and PCN models.

A number of features described in this manual are called Network Services. They are special services provided by cellular service providers.

Before you can take advantage of any of these

Network Services, you must subscribe to the service(s) you require from your home service provider. You can then activate these functions as described in this manual. The manual activation commands for various services are not presented in this guide (e.g., using the and characters for activating or deactivating services). The Nokia 9000 Communicator, nevertheless, is capable of handling commands given in that form. For these commands, please consult with your service providers.

WARNING! This apparatus is intended for use when supplied with power from a Lithium-Ion battery and chargers ACH-4E, ACH-4X and

ACH-4A. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous.

Use only accessories approved by the communicator manufacturer. The use of any other


1-4

types will invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the apparatus, and may be dangerous.

Facts about cellular data transmission

When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Facts about cellular data transmission

The Nokia 9000 Communicator employs the digital data transmission capabilities of the digital cellular network to send faxes, short messages, mail and to establish connections with remote computers.

Cellular data connections can be made from most locations where your cellular phone operates. However, it is recommended that you move the communicator to a location where the strongest possible cellular signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data transmission is efficient. In general, you should not expect the same performance from cellular data communications as from landline communications due to the inherent characteristics of the cellular environment.

The following factors may impair cellular connections:

Noise

Radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from other cellular phones in metropolitan areas where cellular telephones are prevalent.

Handover

As the cellular phone user moves from one network cell to another, the signal strength of the channel drops and the cellular telephone exchange may hand the user over to a different cell and frequency, where the signal is stronger. A cell handover may also occur when the user is stationary due to varying cellular traffic loads. Such handovers may cause slight delays.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or a conductor may cause erroneous functions in electric devices. The discharge can result in “garbled” display and unstable software operation. Cellular connections may become unreliable, data may be corrupted, and the transmission halted. In this case you need to end the existing call (if any), switch off the phone interface (if on) and remove the battery. Then replace the battery and establish a new cellular connection.

Dead spots and dropouts

Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the cellular phone user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographic or structural obstructions.

Signal impairment

Distance and obstacles can cause out-ofphase reflected signals that result in a loss of signal strength.

Low signal strength

Due to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal strength from a cell site may not be strong enough or stable enough to provide a reliable cellular connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember to consider the following points:

• The data connection works best when the communicator is in a stationary position.

Attempting cellular communication while in a moving vehicle is not recommended. Fax transmission is more easily impaired than data or short message transmission.

• Do not place the communicator on a metal surface.

• Check that the cellular signal strength on the communicator displays is sufficient (see chapter 2 "Getting started: Indicators - Using the applications" and chapter 14 "Phone interface: Display indicators" of this manual).


Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-5

Moving the communicator within a room especially towards a window, may result in a stronger signal. If the cellular signals are not strong enough to support a voice call, data connection should not be attempted until you can find a location with better signal reception.

To help with cellular data transmission, the communicator has an outgoing communications manager called the Document outbox. When you send faxes, short messages and mail, they always go first to the Document outbox. The Outbox prepares your fax, short message or mail and then sends it through the phone interface. If the phone interface is off or the cellular signal strength is inadequate, the document will not be sent until the phone interface is switched on and the signal strength is sufficient. You do not have to worry about whether the phone or fax called might be off or busy: after the first attempt, the

Document outbox tries to send the document nine more times.

The Document outbox can be accessed in the Fax,

SMS, Mail and Notes applications’ main views, where it is shown at the bottom of the folders list. The Document outbox is discussed in more detail in chapter 12 "Document outbox".

There is no document inbox. When you receive faxes, short messages or fetch mail, they go directly in their own received document folders.

Each application shows a received document folder containing documents that can be viewed in that application. For example, the Fax application shows the Received faxes folder and the

Mail application shows the Received mail folder.

Things to remember

Services

In order to utilise the communication capabilities of the Nokia 9000 Communicator, you may have to subscribe to certain services separately. If the service requires a separate phone number or specific settings, they must be stored in the communicator’s settings. For example,

• Fax sending and receiving requires that fax service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card.

• Using the communicator as a fax modem requires that data service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your

SIM card.

• Internet access also requires that data service is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card. In addition, to access the Internet, you must have obtained an Internet Access Point from an Internet service provider (contact your dealer for details).

Access codes

The communicator uses several access codes to protect against unauthorised use of your communicator and the SIM card. You can make changes to the access codes in the settings of the

Security application (see chapter 10 "System: Security") or in the phone interface (see chapter 14

"Phone interface: Menus - Security options

(Menu 5)").

For access codes that can be changed and are used by both interfaces, you can make the changes via either interface.

The communicator interface’s Internet applications use passwords and user names to protect from unauthorised use of the Internet and Internet services. These passwords are changed in the settings of the Internet applications.

The access codes you need most often are the

Lock code (provided in the sales package) and the

Personal Identity Number (PIN) code (provided with the SIM card). The access codes are described in more detail in chapter 10 "System: Security". See also chapter 14 "Phone interface:

Menus - Security options (Menu 5)"


1-6

Contact information

All contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.) you store goes into the Contacts directory. Each application and interface has its own view of the Contacts directory. The information shown depends on the information the selected application can use. For example, when you are making a call via the phone interface, you can view the name and the phone number(s) of the contact – possible fax numbers, e-mail addresses, job titles, etc., are not shown.

You can customise your contact information according to your preferences, see chapter 3 "Contacts: Contact cards - Customising contact cards". Customising only affects new contact information, existing contacts will not be affected.

If you customise your contact card template in an early phase, you will not have to edit your contact cards manually.

Things to remember

Texts

With the communicator interface’s text editor, you can create new texts in many applications

(Notes, Fax, SMS, Mail, Calendar). The editor, however, works in each application in a way that corresponds to the sending format of that application. For example, because short messages cannot be longer than 160 characters or contain text formattings, the SMS editor only allows you to open texts that are shorter than 161 characters and removes text formattings. For this reason, the text editor is called Note editor in the

Notes application, Mail editor in the Mail application, and so on.

• How to personalise your communicator, see

"First start-up"

• How the communicator operates, see

"Communicator interface" and "Communicator applications"

SIM card

A valid miniature plug-in SIM card is required for making and receiving calls. The card is supplied by your network operator or service provider.

The SIM card contains all information the cellular network needs for identification of the network user. The network operator or service provider may prevent the use of the communicator with any other but the operator’s or provider’s own SIM cards. If an unacceptable SIM card is inserted, the message INVALID SIM CARD will be displayed. Should this happen, contact your dealer or network operator.

Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small children’s reach.

Before installing the SIM card, close the device cover if it is open and switch off the phone interface (use ):

�

Remove the battery: Press the catch (1) at the bottom of the battery (2) and lift away the battery (figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1


2-2

�

Slide the card into the SIM card slot (figure 2-

2). Make sure that the gold contacts of the

SIM card are facing down and the bevelled corner of the card is on the right side.

Connectors

When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the battery:

�

Insert the battery in the communicator so that the side with the four golden connector plates goes in first (figure 2-4).

Figure 2-2

When the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled corner will remain visible (figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3

Figure 2-4

�

Push the battery down towards the catch until it clicks into place. Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching the power on.

Note: The battery does not fit into place if the

SIM card is not correctly installed. Do not force the battery into place! Check that you have inserted the SIM card into the slot as described above.

Connectors

(1) IrDA-SIR infrared port for connecting to a PC or a printer (see figure 2-5). Infrared connections are described in chapter 10 "System: Connecting to a PC"

(2) Antenna connector for car installation (see figure 2-5)

(3) System connector for car installation and for the adapter (see figure 2-6)

(4) Adapter for connecting the charger and the

RS232 cable to the communicator. The connector on the left side (5) of the adapter is for the

RS232 cable plug and the one on the right (6) is for the charger plug (see figure 2-6)



Figure 2-5 Figure 2-6

Battery

Your Nokia 9000 Communicator is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The High Power Battery provides up to three hours of talk/fax/ terminal time or 35 hours of standby time. Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer.

Charging the battery

Use only those chargers approved by the communicator manufacturer for charging a Lithium-Ion battery.

The communicator can be used during charging.

To charge a battery with the adapter and a charger:

�

Install the battery.

�

Attach the adapter to the bottom of the communicator as shown in figure 2-7. Insert the curved pin into the right-hand side aperture at the end of the communicator. Push the left side of the adapter gently towards the communicator until the left locking pin engages.

(If you try to force the adapter into place upside down, you may accidentally break off the curved guiding pin.)

Figure 2-7

�

Connect the charger lead to the adapter, as shown in figure 2-8.


2-4

Figure 2-8

�

�

Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet. If the phone interface is switched on, the

CHARGING message appears on the display and segments of the battery indicator bar on the right-hand side of the phone interface display will start scrolling. (Charging information is also shown on the communicator interface display, see "Indicators: Using the applications".)

When the battery is fully charged (the bars stop scrolling and five bars are displayed), you may remove the adapter from the communicator:

Hold down the release button on the left side of the adapter (see figure 2-7), and turn the adapter away from the communicator.

When the charge is low and only a few minutes of operation time remain, a warning tone will be heard, and the message BATTERY LOW will be repeated at regular intervals on the display. When the charge level becomes too low for operation, the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be displayed, accompanied by a warning tone. If you do not connect the communicator to a charger, the communicator automatically switches itself off.

Note: If the tones have been switched off (see chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus - All sounds

(Menu 10)"), only the display messages will appear.

Using the battery

Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer. With approved chargers and accessories, the battery can be charged continuously.

The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.

Battery

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.

When the operation time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.

Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both interfaces are on, radio signal strength, various phone settings, and the length of the communicator interface’s screen blanker time-out period (set in System application’s settings, see chapter 10 "System: System settings").

It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping the battery charged maximises the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power to the communicator’s realtime clock. In case the backup battery is drained, it may be replaced by qualified personnel.

Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the cover will save all data.

Note:

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-Ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below

0°C (+32°F).

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

The communicator interface is activated by pressing the cover lock catch and opening the cover (see figure 2-9).

The applications are run in the middle of the display. The indicators (see figure 2-10) show application and system related information (see

“Indicators” in this chapter). The commands always relate to the column of four command buttons on the right side of the display cover.

Figure 2-9

In this User’s Manual, the command names appear in bold and item names, entries and values shown on the application area are in italics.

Whenever the selection frame is shown, you can select items by moving the selection frame with the scroll buttons or the up/down arrow keys (see

“Keyboard” in this chapter).

Figure 2-10


2-6 Communicator interface

When the search field appears at the bottom of the display, you can search for items by entering text into the search field with the keyboard.

After the correct item has been selected, press the command button corresponding to the command you wish to apply to the item, for example,

Open.

Note: Most applications have Settings as one of the main view commands. The values of these settings will be used as defaults for that application. Options chosen elsewhere affect only the document, card or item which is active or being sent. The following figures illustrate certain communicator interface conventions:

1. When a command appears dimmed, the command cannot be used (see the figure below).

2. When a value appears on a dotted line with a cursor, enter a new value manually via the keyboard.

3. A pop-up box. Choose an item and press OK or

Cancel (see the figure below).

When a setting with next to it is selected, pressing

Change toggles the value or opens a pop-up box. See the figure above. When a setting with next to it is selected, pressing Change opens a new settings view. When you press a command with next to its name, as in

Logs in figure 2-10, only the command set changes.


Chapter 2 - Getting started

First start-up

When you activate the communicator interface after having removed and replaced the battery, you will always see first a welcome screen while the device performs a self-test. The following steps, however, will be shown only during the first, personalisation, start-up.

�

�

�

�

�

�

If you have not already installed your SIM card, install the SIM card, as described in

"SIM card" and switch the phone interface on.

If you do not have a SIM card yet, ignore this step (see the section "SIM card contents" below).

Open the cover.

Select your home country from the list and press

OK. The capital of your home country will be set as your home city. You can change your home city later in the Clock application, see chapter 11 "Extras: Clock".

Accept or change the date shown and press

OK. If you change the date, use the format

dd.mm.yy (for example, 24.08.96 ). You can later change the date format in the System settings. (Time and date can be changed in the Clock application’s settings.)

Accept or change the time shown and press

OK. If you change the time, use the 24 hour format hh:min (for example, 17:25 ). You can later change the time format in the System settings.

Enter user data and press

OK. You can later change the information in the System application’s User data view.

The personalisation procedure is now completed.

SIM card contents

After the personalisation procedure, if the installed SIM card contains stored names or numbers, you will be asked if you want to copy the

SIM card contents into the communicator’s memory (Contacts directory). If the phone interface is switched off, the question will be asked the next time the phone interface is on and you activate the communicator interface.

If you want to do the copying later, you can answer no, and do it manually via the phone interface, see chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus -

Memory functions (Menu 8)".

After start-up, the communicator (or “B”) memory is selected automatically as the active memory. If you want to, you may later set the phone interface to use the SIM card (“A”) memory instead of the communicator memory (see chapter

14 "Phone interface: Menus - Memory functions

(Menu 8)"). The communicator interface applications, however, will always use the communicator memory. Also, the communicator memory can hold much more information than the SIM card memory.

Note: All phone numbers copied from the SIM memory to the Contacts directory will go to the

Tel field of the contact cards. Therefore, you must manually move all cellular phone numbers into the correct field. See chapter 3 "Contacts: Contact cards".

Storing DTMF tones

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones allow you to communicate with voice mailboxes, computerised telephony systems, etc. For information on how to send DTMF tones, see chapter

4 "Telephone: Managing calls - Sending DTMF tones" or chapter 14 "Phone interface: Sending

DTMF tones"

• If you only communicate with the contact using DTMF tones, create a contact card for the DTMF contact.

• If you need both a voice and a DTMF phone number for the contact, add a new field to an existing contact card. The DTMF sequence can be stored either in the Tel field, after the telephone number, or separately, in a DTMF field.

If you store the sequence in a Tel field, the phone number and the DTMF sequence must be separated by one of the DTMF special characters. Label the field (with

Change label) so you can identify the DTMF sequence.


Chapter 3 - Contacts

The DTMF special characters are listed in the following table:

Character

* and # p (pause) w (wait)

Contact card template — The contact card template defines which fields are included in all new contact cards you create. You can modify the contact card template in the same way as described in "Contact cards: Editing contact cards"

Changes made to the template affect all new, but not existing contact cards. You cannot enter text into the template’s fields.

Log length — With the Log length settings, you can define how recent contacts will be listed in the General and Individual log lists. Select the new log length and press

OK. The possible values are: Zero / 10 days / 30 days (default) / 1 Year /

User defined: days (0 – 365 days).

Contacts directory and the phone interface

Copying contact information between the interfaces is only possible via the phone interface (see chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus - Memory functions (Menu 8)" – except when a new SIM card is inserted into the communicator and you open the communicator interface. In that case, you will be prompted to confirm the copying of the SIM memory contents into the Contacts directory, as descibed in chapter 2 "Getting started: Keyboard".

When the memory contents of a SIM card are copied to the directory, the Contacts application will create the same number of new contact cards as the number of memory locations in use on the SIM card. The numbers in the SIM card memory locations are inserted in the telephone number field of the contact card (“Tel”).

When contact information is copied from the

Contacts directory to the SIM card, the contact names may not fully fit in the SIM card’s memory.

Entering contact information via the phone interface

Entering new or editing existing contact names and phone numbers via the phone interface will create a new contact card in the Contacts directory. See chapter 14 "Phone interface: Using memory - Storing information via the phone interface"

Note: When you store or copy phone numbers from the phone interface to the Contacts directory, the phone numbers go to the Tel field, not to the Tel(GSM) field. Sending SMS messages requires, however, that the recipient’s cellular phone number is stored in the Tel(GSM) field.

Check that the phone numbers are in the correct fields in the contact card.

Chapter 4 - Telephone 4-1

4. Telephone

In order to make phone calls, the communicator must have a proper SIM card fitted and the phone interface must be switched on. For a description of the phone interface keys and especially the button, see chapter "Phone interface". Remember that the phone interface keys are not functional when the device cover is open.

The Telephone application is started by pressing the

Tel. application button on the keyboard.

Some of the telephony operations explained here can be made in many ways, for example, via the phone interface.

Note the following Telephone features:

• Opening or closing the cover does not affect active phone calls.

• If you have made a voice call via the phone interface and you open the cover, the Telephone application starts automatically. You can continue the call after activating the handsfree mode (see "Audio control").

• When you make a call via the communicator interface (with the Telephone application), the handsfree mode is activated automatically.

Audio control

The audio control enables you to adjust the volume level and to activate the communicator’s loudspeaker for handsfree operation. The audio control can only be adjusted while you have a call.

In the handsfree mode, you can speak and listen to the phone from a short distance away when the cover is open. This function is not available when the cover is closed (except in a car installation). The Telephone setting

If some application other than Telephone is active, a note about an incoming call is shown on the screen. If you are called by a person who has a contact card (as in the figure 4-2), the caller is identified by his/her name (if supported by the network). The note can be dismissed by pressing any key.

To answer the call:

Close the device cover and answer the call via the phone interface (by pressing ).

Or, alternatively,

Press the Tel. application button to start the

Telephone application (if not already active) and press

Answer.

Note that you cannot have two active calls at the same time: the previous active call is automatically put on hold when you answer a waiting call

(the network service “Call waiting” must be activated).

If you do not want to take the voice call, press

End call. The caller will hear the alerting tone change to a “line busy” tone.


Chapter 4 - Telephone

Managing calls

4-3

When you have made a call, information about the call(s) is shown on the display within a frame

(see figure 4-2). In addition to the active call, you can at the same time have a held call and a waiting call. The conference call, which can contain up to five remote participants, is handled as a single call.

To switch between multiple calls, use the scroll keys. The command buttons change according to the selected call’s status.

Call information may include the following: the name or phone number of the caller (if available), call status (ACTIVE, ON HOLD, WAITING, AUDIO

OFF), call timer and call cost counter. The call timer displays how much time has expired since the beginning of the call. The timer also counts time spent on hold (see figure 4-2). The call cost counter shows the cumulative cost of the call, if this network service is available and the call cost setting is on. The call costs are calculated according to the settings determined in the phone interface (in currency or charging units). See chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus - Duration and cost (Menu 6)".

To end a call, select the call you want to end and press

End call.

Once you have finished the private conversation, you can add the person back into the conference call by pressing

Conference call.

Voice call transfer

The voice call transfer is a network service which enables you to connect two voice calls together and disconnect yourself from both calls.

The network may provide the possibility to transfer calls while you have one call on hold and one

Figure 4-3

(outgoing) alerting call. After the alerting has begun, you may disconnect yourself from both calls and thus leave the held caller waiting for the third party to answer.

Note: The transfer operation can be made only if you have one held call and one active call; all calls are voice calls (fax or data calls cannot be transferred); and none of the calls is a conference call.

There are two ways to transfer voice calls from the phone interface:

1) Press 4 followed by , or

2) Press and hold the Menu key for a second.

Choose the Transfer option in the menu and press OK, or press Quit to cancel.

and choose the option Transfer call. Press OK.

Answering a waiting call

Call waiting is a network service which must be activated before you can use it (see "Telephone settings").

When Call waiting is active, if you receive a new call while you already have an active voice call, you will see a note informing you of this.

A waiting call is answered, like any call, by selecting the waiting call and pressing

Answer call.

The previous call will be put on hold.



Sending DTMF tones

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones allow you to communicate with voice mailboxes, computerised telephony systems, etc. Sending

DTMF tones is not possible during a conference call. Besides the numbers 0 - 9, you can also use the characters p, w, * and # (for information on the functions of these characters, see chapter 3

"Contacts: Contact cards - Storing DTMF tones").

To send a DTMF sequence when you have an active call (remember that the active call must be selected):

�

Changing the settings of network services

The network services call diverting, call barring and call waiting, may not be supported by all operators, or you may have to subscribe to them.

Information about the status of these services is stored in the network. Therefore, the current settings are not shown until you request the information from the network.

While the communicator is making a request to the network, a query note is shown on the display. After a successful request, the new value now appears on the settings list.

• To see the value of the selected mode, press

Get status. The value is requested from the network.

• To cancel all call diverts or barrings, press

Cancel call diverts or Cancel call barrings.

When a divert is active and you make a call, a text is shown on the phone interface display, reminding you that your incoming calls will be diverted to another phone number. The text will appear only if your network operator supports this feature.

Voice call diverting

The voice call diverting network service allows you to direct your incoming voice calls to another phone number (fax diverting is activated via the Fax application’s settings). Choose a divert mode:

Divert all calls — All incoming calls are diverted.

Divert when phone is busy — Incoming calls are diverted only when the phone interface is busy.

Divert when not answered — Incoming calls are diverted when you do not answer them.

Divert if not reachable — Incoming calls are diverted when the phone interface is switched off or outside of the network service area.

After pressing Change, the following options become available:

To . . . — Enter the number to which you want to divert the calls.

Telephone settings

To voice mailbox — Calls will be diverted to your voice mailbox. The phone number of the voice mailbox must be set in Other settings.

Off — Calls are not diverted.

Voice call barring

The voice call barring network service allows you to place restrictions on outgoing and incoming voice calls (fax barring is activated in the Fax application’s settings and data barring is activated in the Internet application’s settings). Activating call barring or changing the barring settings requires the barring password, which you obtain from the operator. Once you have the barring password, you can change it in the Security settings (the Security application is found in the

System main view).

The available modes are:

All outgoing calls — Calls cannot be made.

All international calls — Calls cannot be made to foreign countries.

International except home country — When abroad, calls can be made only within the current country and to your home country, i.e., the country where your home network operator is located.

All incoming calls — Calls cannot be received.

Incoming calls when abroad — Calls cannot be received when you are outside your home country.

Note: When calls are barred, calls may be possible to certain emergency numbers in some networks (e.g., 112 or other official emergency number).

Voice call waiting

When the voice call waiting network service is set on, the network will notify you of a new incoming voice call while you have a call in progress. If your network allows you to view the caller’s phone number, the caller’s phone number

(or name) and the text WAITING will be displayed.



Other settings

Call cost display — This setting turns the charge counter on or off. The counter is shown only if the network operator supports this feature.

Audio when cover opened — When you have a voice call and this setting is Off (default), each time you open the cover, you must press the

Au-

dio on command before you can use the communicator in the handsfree mode. If you change this

4-7

setting to On , the handsfree mode is activated automatically after the cover is opened.

Voice mailbox number — Set a new or change the current voice mailbox phone number. To listento your voice messages, create a contact card for your voice mailbox and make the call normally.

Alternatively, you can listen to your voice messages via the phone interface Menu 2 1, see chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus - Messages

The Short Message application is activated by pressing the SMS application button on the communicator interface keyboard.

Short message sending and receiving requires that the Short Message Service (SMS) is supported by the network you are using and activated for your SIM card. Contact your home service provider for details.

The Short Message Service enables you to send and receive short alphanumeric text messages of up to 160 characters over the digital cellular network. The advantages of the short messages are: sending is practically instantaneous, messages can be sent or received even during a voice or data call and messages can be read in any cellular phone that has the capability. The SMS Service centre will take care of delivering the message even if the receiving phone is off at the time of sending.

Before you can send short messages, you must store the SMS Service centre number in the SMS application’s settings.

The SMS main view shows four folders and the

Document outbox. The Own texts folder contains texts that you have written, Received messages contains short messages you have received,

Standard messages contains predefined message templates (see "Standard messages") and Business cards contains all contact cards in the Contacts directory (see "Business cards"). Document outbox is described in chapter 12 "Document outbox".

Note: You can only send short messages to phone numbers stored in the Tel (GSM) fields of contact cards. (This also applies to the Nokia

9000 Communicator PCN model.)

Chapter 7 - Internet 7-1

7. Internet

The Internet applications are used to access computerised information services. Internet access requires that you have obtained an Internet

Access Point from an Internet service provider

(contact your dealer for details) and configured the Internet settings correctly. Your service provider will give you instructions on how to configure the Internet settings. Follow the instructions carefully.

The connection to the Internet is established via a data call. This requires that data calls are supported by the network you are using and that this service is activated for your SIM card. Contact your home service provider for details.

The Internet applications are:

• Mail — An electronic text mail application which lets you send and receive text messages all over the world using the Internet network.

• World Wide Web (WWW) — A hypertextbased system for finding and accessing resources on the Internet network.

• Telnet — Allows your communicator to connect to computers which provide terminal services through the Internet network.

• Terminal — Allows your communicator to connect to computers, like mainframe computers, which provide direct dial-in terminal services. Both the Telnet and

Terminal application emulate the VT100 terminal.

The Internet applications are started by pressing the Internet application button, selecting an application in the Internet main view and pressing

Select. If an Internet application is already active, you must close it before you can start another.

Note: Depending on the network configuration and load, establishing an Internet connection may take up to one minute (or even longer).

When you want to disconnect from the host, press

Hang up. If a connection is idle for longer than the factory set time-out period (12 minutes), the connection is terminated automatically. The time-out period applies to connections made with all Internet applications. In addition, the World Wide Web application has its own autodisconnect period, see "World Wide Web:

WWW settings". Disconnecting is indicated by a note and the data call indicator disappears.

When the Internet applications main view returns to the display, the communicator is no longer connected to the Internet.

Internet glossary

Domain name and Host name

Terms “domain name” and “host name” are sometimes, slightly inaccurately, used as synonyms. In a fully qualified domain name (e.g.,

www.club.nokia.com ), the first part of the name is the name of the host and the following parts are names of domains the host belongs to. Each host name corresponds to a certain IP address (see below). Host names are used because they are easier to remember than IP addresses.

Chapter 7 - Internet

World Wide Web

7-9

The World Wide Web (WWW) application is started by selecting WWW in the Internet applications main view, and pressing

Select.

To exit the WWW application, press Close in the

WWW main view (the Hotlist). If you are still connected to the Internet, the command is

Hang

up. Pressing Hang up will end the data call and close the WWW application.

Hotlist

The WWW main view shows the Hotlist and, below the Hotlist, the URL entry field.

The Hotlist is a list of predefined WWW page locations. The address of the last visited WWW page is shown automatically in the URL entry field. To view a page, select a page in the Hotlist or enter another address in the URL entry field

(use the backspace key to delete the address shown) and press Fetch.

To edit the Hotlist, press Define. A new set of commands is activated:

Press Edit to edit the parameters of the selected Hotlist entry. The editable parameters are Item name and URL. The item name can be

Connecting to WWW

edited freely. A valid URL address is, for example, http://www.nokia.com/. If the WWW page is stored locally, also the prefix “file:///” can be used (see "Connecting to WWW: Locally stored WWW pages").

Press New to define a new Hotlist item. The default beginning of a URL address is “http:/”, but also the prefix “file:///” can be used. The

WWW application checks that the syntax of the URL you enter is correct. If a prefix is missing, “http://” will be added automatically.

Press Delete to delete the selected Hotlist entry.

Select a WWW page from the Hotlist or enter a

URL address into the URL entry box (see "Navigating in WWW") and press

Fetch. If the WWW page was already recently fetched, the page is fetched from temporary working memory (or

“cache”). If not, the page is fetched from the Internet by making a data call to the selected Internet access point. You can also fetch WWW pages stored on the communicator by using the prefix “file:///.” See "Locally stored WWW pages" at the end of this section.

Some servers have access restrictions which require a valid user name and password. In this case, you must enter the user name and password before the document can be fetched. The communicator stores the passwords and user names that you enter to gain access to that domain, and the next time you connect to the same domain, they will be offered automatically. If automated login does not succeed, you must enter the information manually.

The fetched WWW page is loaded in the WWW browser. The status line on top of the display shows the status of the connection, the title of the document and how many bytes of the document file have been received.


7-10 Navigating in WWW

Figure 7-6

After the WWW page has been fetched, the following commands are available (see figure 7-6):

Go activates the WWW navigation commands, see "Navigating in WWW".

Save activates a new set of commands:

Copy text copies the text on the opened page into the Downloaded files folder. Possible text formattings are retained in the copy.

Add to hotlist adds on the Hotlist a link pointing to this WWW page.

Copy HTML saves the HTML code of the currently opened WWW page into the Downloaded files folder and adds on the hotlist a link pointing to this WWW page. See "Locally stored WWW pages".

Back returns the previous set of commands.

Off line ends the data call and disconnects from the Internet. You may use this function, for example, to read the copied text off line. The copied text can be read or edited normally, as described in chapter 8 "Notes: Editing". When you press

Off

line, or the communicator autodisconnects from the Internet (see "WWW settings"), this command changes to

On line. To reconnect to the Internet, press

On line. While you are off line, commands

Fetch, Fetch image or Previous, or other applications may also return you to on line.

Close returns to the Hotlist.

Locally stored WWW pages

You can store fetched WWW pages locally, on your communicator. When you press

Copy

HTML, the current WWW page is stored in the

Downloaded files folder and a link pointing to this WWW page is added on the hotlist. Locally stored WWW pages are marked by in the

Hotlist. If you want to view or edit the HTML code of the saved WWW page, open the document in the Note editor (in the Notes application). If you want to view the document as it would appear in the World Wide Web, open the document in the WWW browser (in the WWW application). A locally stored WWW page is opened in the WWW browser by using the prefix

“file:///” (note: three slashes) instead of “http://”

(two slashes).

A fetched WWW document may contain an SMS form. You can send the contents of an SMS form as a short message. However, before you can send the short message, you have to first save the SMS form with the

Copy HTML command.

Navigating in WWW

If there are hyperlinks or hot spots in the part of the WWW document shown in the application window, one will always be selected (see figure

7-7).



Hyperlinks are used to send or receive information from the World Wide Web. Hyperlinks are typically links to other documents or images.

Hot spots enable you to input information into the World Wide Web. There are several kinds of hot spots, like selection lists, text entry fields and reset/submit buttons.

Use the scroll buttons to scroll the view and to choose hyperlinks and hot spots. Each scroll key press selects the nearest hyperlink or hot spot, or, if there are no hyperlinks or hot spots in the view, a key press moves the view one line up or down.

The following commands may appear as the first command in this view, depending on what kind of item is selected on the page: Fetch follows a hyperlink; Fetch image loads an image; Press sends the form contents to the server or resets selections to their default settings; Change activates various items, such as check boxes.

Previous opens the previously visited WWW page. Command is dimmed if there is no previous page.

Back returns the WWW browser commands.

History activates the History view. You can move back and forward in the history list by selecting a previously fetched WWW page from the list and pressing Fetch. The history list contains the most recently fetched documents (and their URLs

– shown in the URL entry box). After the maximum list length is reached, older pages are deleted one by one as new ones are stored.

Figure 7-7

Image viewer

Images that are part of the fetched WWW page are called inline images. By default, inline images are not fetched with the WWW page (see the option Autoload images in the WWW settings). Unfetched images are displayed on the WWW page as icons. An unfetched image can be fetched by selecting the icon and then pressing

Fetch image.

Inline images can also be image maps. An inline image map acts like a hyperlink. A fetched and selected image map contains a cursor which can be moved with the keyboard arrow keys. When you press

Fetch, the pixel coordinates of the cursor are sent to the URL, and the corresponding

WWW page is fetched.

Images that are separate documents and not part of a hypertext document are called external images. When an external image is fetched, it is viewed separately from the hypertext document in the image viewer. The external image viewer commands are:

Copy image copies the external image in the

Downloaded files folder with its server-given name.

View loads the external image in the image viewer, described in chapter 5 "Fax: Received faxes".

Downloading add-on software

The WWW application can be used to install applications on your communicator. When the se-


7-12

lected hypertext link points to an add-on software package, press

Fetch to fetch the package. After the software package has been successfully fetched, the software installation view opens. Press

Show E-mail address – Yes (default) / No . Show

E-mail includes your E-mail address with the fetch request when fetching a WWW page. The

E-mail address is defined in Mail application’s

Remote mailbox settings.

Proxy settings – Proxy settings allows you to use a proxy (a brief description of the proxy is included in the section “Internet: Internet glossary”).

The HTTP proxy server name and Proxy port have to be defined before using the proxy.

Use proxy – Yes / No (default). Determines whether a proxy is used or not when using the selected Internet Access Point.

HTTP Proxy – The hostname of the HTTP proxy server.

Proxy port – The port number that the proxy server uses.

No proxy for – You may define domains for which the proxy must not be used. Domain names are delimited by commas (for example,

nokia.com,edu.fi ). You may specify the domains as accurately as you wish.

Empty cache – Yes (default) / No . Most recently fetched WWW pages are kept in the communicator’s temporary memory, called the cache. If

Empty cache is set to Yes , the cache is automatically emptied after you exit the WWW application. The next time you want to view a WWW page, a “fresh” page is fetched from the Internet.

If Empty cache is set to No , the cache is not emptied when you close the WWW application.

When you restart the WWW application, the most recently fetched WWW pages can be retrieved from the cache without making a new data call.



Telnet

When you open a document, the document is opened in the appropriate editor or viewer (received faxes are opened in the fax viewer, downloaded figures in the image viewer, etc.). The available commands vary according to the editor/viewer.

If the opened document is very large (dozens of pages), the time required before the document opens and can be scrolled or edited is longer than with smaller documents.

Documents that open in the Note editor can be directly edited and formatted. To format the text, press Style. The following options are available:

Font: URW Roman / URW Sans (default) /

URW Mono (true type fonts)

Size: 10 / 12 (default)/ 14 / 18 / 24 / 36 / user

defined (measured in points)

Bold (Ctrl-B): On / Off

Italics (Ctrl-I): On / Off

Underline (Ctrl-U): On / Off

Justification: Left / Centred / Right / Full

Margins — Opens a new view where you can choose a value (default is 2.54 centimetres/1 inch) for the top, left, right and bottom margins. The unit of measurement is chosen in the System settings (see chapter 10 "System:

System settings").

A new style setting affects all new text from the cursor point forward. The margin settings, however, apply to the whole document. To change the settings permanently, you must do it in the main view settings (see chapter 10 "System: System settings").

Special characters and shortcuts

The special character key Chr (on the keyboard) is used to create letters that are not included in the keyboard. The character key can always be used when you are able to enter characters from the keyboard. The case of the inserted special character is determined by whether the Shift or

Caps lock key has been pressed.

To enter special characters from the character table:

Press and release the Chr key and a special character table opens on the screen. Move the selection frame over the desired special character with the arrow keys, scroll buttons or by pressing a keyboard key.

Press the

Insert command button to close the character table and to insert the selected character to the left of the cursor.

To insert special characters from the keyboard:

Press and hold the Chr key and simultaneously press a key with a special character printed on the key as the third (green) character. The special key will be inserted on the display.

In addition, special characters can be generated in the above described way using certain unmarked keys, for example, “a” and “e.” If you continue to hold the Chr key down and press the same letter key again, the second special character is shown in the place of the first, and so on, until the first character is shown again.

The following shortcuts can be used in many editors to edit the text. To use the key combinations, press two keyboard keys at the same time

(indicated with hyphen “-” in the following table).

Printing

Printing

Documents can be directly printed only in Notes.

Printing is possible only to a printer that has an

IrDA compatible infrared port. To print to other printers, transfer the file to a PC, as described in chapter 10 "System: File transfer".

Please refer to the User’s Guide of the printer for detailed safety instructions on the device.

To establish an infrared serial connection:

Make sure that the communicator’s infrared port faces the infrared port of the printer.

Keep the infrared connection clear. In the event the infrared connection is obstructed for too long (for example, something is moved between the infrared sensors or the communicator is moved), printing is interrupted.

To print a document, open the document, press

Print/Send and select Print. For information on the printers supported, read the readme.txt file on the diskette supplied in the communicator sales package, or see the Club.Nokia home page in the World Wide Web (found at the address http://www.club.nokia.com).

After the communicator has checked that you do not already have an active PC connection, it starts to scan for a printer. This means that you cannot print while you are, for example, transferring files from the communicator to a PC. If the printer cannot be found, a failure note is shown and the editor view returns. If the correct printer is found, the printer driver is selected automatically and the printing view shows the name of the document and the selected printer.

Press Start to start printing.

Printing problems

Though the communicator may detect a connected printer, certain complications might still occur.

If the printer found is not recognised:

Select the correct printer driver manually.

You can choose another printer after pressing

Printers.

If the printer found is not recognised, and the communicator does not have the correct driver for the printer:

You can try to print the document using one of the available printer drivers.

Notes settings

You can change the note editor’s default settings by pressing the

Settings command button in the

Press

Send to send the booking.

Receiving requests

When you receive an event request, a note appears on the display showing the details of the event, and the name or number of the sender.

If you press

Accept or Deny, your communicator immediately sends a reply to the sender informing about your decision.

The request can be dismissed by pressing

Cancel and choosing

Yes.

Receiving reservations

When you receive an event reservation, a note appears on the display giving the details of the event. When you press OK, the reservation is moved to your Calendar. Old events are never removed when new events are added, even if they have the same date and time.

Alarms

Alarms are set in the Day view by pressing the

Details command button and then selecting the

Alarm option. The alarm will be attached to the currently selected event. In the System application’s System settings, you can choose from three different alarm tones.

To set alarms that are not related to any calendar event, use the Clock application (in the Extras

application group), see chapter 11 "Extras: Clock

- Alarm clock".

The alarm options are

None (default) / At start

time / . . . minutes before event (enter a value).

An active alarm is indicated by an icon in the Day view (in the figure 9-2, the 15:00 o’clock event).

When the alarm occurs, an alarm note is shown on both interface displays. The alarm sound can be turned off by pressing any key. If you have set the communicator to silent service (in the System application’s System settings), only the alarm note will be shown.

To-do list

The To-do list is accessed by pressing the

To-do

list command button in the Month view. The Todo list is a list of tasks which must be completed eventually, but are not connected to any specific time or day. After a calendar alarm has occurred, you have the opportunity to move the message contents of the alarm to the To-do list by pressing the Move to To-do list command button.

The entries in the To-do list are numbered, and they can be given high priority. High priority entries are always shown at the top of the list (see figure 9-3).

To change the status of the selected task, press

Mark as. A pop-up box opens, and you can change the status of the entry to High priority or

Normal priority (default), or mark the task as

Backup/Restore

The Backup/Restore application enables you to make backups of various data on your communicator, and to restore it later. Data is backed up in sets which are stored in separate directories on the PC.



When data is backed up the previous contents of the backup directories will be deleted. If you want to keep the previous backup set, you should copy the files to another directory on the PC, or change the backup directory in the Backup/Restore settings before making a new backup.

When data is restored, only files with similar names in the destination folder will be overwritten.

The Backup/Restore main view shows the data group which will be backed up or restored, the connection type (infrared or cable) and the backup or restoration directory. Press

Settings to change the connection type or the path to the PC directory.

The sets of data you can back up are:

All data — Backing up all data means backing up your communicator exactly as it is at the moment (except for contact logs and applications’ settings).

Documents — Document backup covers all documents in the application folders that can be opened for viewing (except contact cards and logs).

Contacts — The contact directory backup file cannot be edited. If you want to edit the Contacts database contents, use the Import/ Export contacts application (see the next section).

Press

Backup or Restore to start the respective operations. The backup directory will be created if necessary.

While backup is being made/restored, the communicator’s other applications cannot be used.

To interrupt the operation, for example, to make an emergency call, press

Close (the Backup/Restore main view returns).

Import/Export contacts

The Import/Export contacts application allows you to export contact cards to a PC and import them back to the communicator. The contact information is exported to the PC as a single ASCII text file, contacts.txt, which can be edited as any

ASCII file. If you edit the contents of the file, you should be very careful not to delete accidentally any record or field definition strings, placed inside brackets [ ]. Do not delete any of the brackets, either. It is always a good idea to back up your data before doing any editing.

Alternatively, you can open the exported contact information in an application or database compatible with the Nokia 9000 Communicator’s contact card format.

The main view shows the connection type used and the default path in the PC. To change the connection settings, press Settings.

To import contacts:

Press Import in the Import/Export contacts main view. When the data in the defined PC directory has been copied to the communicator, you will be asked to confirm the conversion of the imported data as contact cards.

The imported contacts will be added to your contacts directory.

To export contacts:

Press

Export in the Import/Export contacts main view. If a file with the default name

( contacts.txt) already exists on the PC, the existing file will be overwritten.


10-6

Import/Export calendar data

Import/Export calendar data

The Import/Export calendar data application allows you to export calendar data (events, event details and to-do list) onto a PC and import it back to the communicator. The calendar data is exported to the PC as a single ASCII text file,

cal-

endar.txt. You can edit the calendar data the same way as exported contact cards. Note that memos attached to the events are referenced in the calendar.txt file, but not exported (to export memos, use the File Transfer application).

The main view shows the connection type used and the default path in the PC. To change the connection settings, press Settings.

To import calendar data:

Press Import in the Import/Export calendar data main view. When the data in the defined

PC directory has been copied to the communicator you will be asked to confirm the conversion of the imported data as calendar data.

Note: The imported calendar data will replace all your current calendar data.

To export calendar data:

Press Export in the Import/Export calendar data main view. If a file with the default name ( calendar.txt) already exists on the PC, the existing file will be overwritten.

Data removal

The Data removal application comes in handy if you want to remove personal information from the communicator, for example, before lending it to someone else. This way you do not need to remove data one by one.

The removable data is arranged in four groups:

All data, Calendar data, Documents, Contacts and

Speed dials

Select the desired data group in the normal way by moving the selection frame and press Delete.

Before any data is removed, you must enter the lock code (see "Security"). When deleting calendar data, you can choose to delete all calendar data or only events that occur before a given date.

If you want to restore your communicator in the same state it was in at the time of purchase, see chapter 15 “Troubleshooting: 4. Resetting the communicator”.

Fax modem

The Nokia 9000 Communicator can be used as a

9600 bps PC fax modem. Using the communicator as a fax modem requires that data calls are supported by the network you are using and that this service is activated for your SIM card. If you want to receive data calls, your SIM card also needs a data number. Contact your home service provider for details.

Connect the communicator to the PC via an infrared link as described in "Connecting to a PC"

After connection has been established, you can change the communicator to a fax modem by pressing

Activate in the Fax modem main view.

When the communicator is used as a fax modem, the call status indicator shows the text MODEM.



To stop using communicator as a fax modem, press

Disable.

Operations of a modem can be controlled by AT commands and S-registers. These commands give the advanced user an opportunity to control all the features of the modem. However, it is not always necessary to enter the AT commands manually. Most PC communications applications have a user-friendly interface that hides the AT commands from the user. Should you need to enter the commands manually, consult the documentation of the PC application that you are using. A list of the common AT commands (based on the ETSI 07.07 standard) supported by the Nokia 9000 Communicator are available as an ASCII text file on the diskette that came with the sales package of your communicator.

When the communicator is used as a fax modem, its normal communication features are disabled

(otherwise, the applications remain functional).

If an active PC connection is idle for longer than

20 minutes, the fax modem mode is automatically disabled to conserve power. However, when the communicator is connected to an electrical outlet (for example, while charging a battery), the time-out is not active.

To change the Fax modem settings, press

Set-

tings and select:

Connection type: Infrared (recommended) /

Cable — The cable connection is intended for use with the communicator’s own PC connectivity applications for backup, file transfer, export/import and software installation purposes. The functionality of a cable connection when the communicator is used as a fax modem is not guaranteed.

User data

The User data card contains your personal information. You can freely edit the information in the Name, Company, Job Title, Address, Tel, Fax,

Tel(GSM), Fax(GSM) and Mail fields.

The Fax application automatically includes the information in the User data card in the corresponding fields of the fax cover page. The SMS application uses this information when you send your own business card.

OK.

Choose a new value.

If you are changing a code, you will be prompted for the current code and then the new code twice. The code cannot be changed if the respective security feature is not in use.

Note: Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers to prevent accidental dialling of the emergency number.

PIN code request — On / Off (default)

If you set the PIN (Personal Identity Number) code request on, the system requests the code every time when the phone interface is turned on by pressing . You can also turn the PIN code request on or off in the phone interface

Security Options menu (Menu 5 1). This setting cannot be changed if the phone interface is switched off.

Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the PIN code request off.

If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times in a row, you will need a PUK code to unblock the SIM card. When the SIM card is blocked, you cannot make or receive any calls

(including faxes, short messages, mail, etc.), except emergency calls. Otherwise, the communicator can be used normally.

Figure 10-2



Autolock period — Autolock off (default) / 1 / 2 / 5

/ 10 / 15 minutes

This setting determines the security time-out period, after which the system will lock. The timer is reset by any input, calls or data transfer/printing activity.

SIM change security – On (default) / Off

When active, this security option checks whether the SIM card in the communicator has been changed. The check is made every time the phone interface is switched on. The

SIM change security option can also be activated in the phone interface Security options menu (Menu 5 2).

If the SIM card has been changed and the new SIM card has not previously been used with your communicator, the communicator locks itself until the lock code, supplied with the phone, is correctly entered. The communicator recognises five different SIM cards as the owner’s cards.

PIN code

When the phone interface is switched on, this setting allows you to change the PIN code.

The changing procedure is as described at the beginning of this "Security" section. The new

PIN code must be 4 to 8 digits long. The PIN code can also be changed in the phone interface Security options menu (Menu 5 6 2).

The PIN code is supplied with the SIM card.

When the PIN code request is enabled, the code is required each time the phone interface is switched on. The PIN code request must be turned on to change the code.

If you enter a wrong PIN code three times in succession, the PIN code is disabled and cannot be used any more. At the prompt, key in the PUK code (see below) and follow the instructions on the display.

Lock code

This setting allows you to change the Lock code. The changing procedure is as described at the beginning of this "Security" section.

The new code must be 5 digits long. The Lock code can also be changed in the phone interface Security options menu (Menu 5 6 1).

The lock code is needed to lock (except when the autolock period is in use) and unlock the communicator. The device can be locked in both the communicator interface (System,

Security:

Lock system) and the phone interface (System Lock, Menu 5 8). The lock code is also required when you change the SIM change security setting and turn the Autolock period on or off. You can find the lock code on a sticker in the sales package of your communicator. Keep it secret and in a safe place, separate from the communicator.

If you key in an incorrect lock code (you get a code error message) several times in succession, the communicator must be sent back to the dealer to unlock the device.

Barring password

When the phone interface is switched on, this setting allows you to change the barring password. The new code must be 4 digits long.

The Barring password can also be changed in the phone interface Security options menu

(Menu 5 6 4).

The barring password is needed to change call barrings, see chapter 4 "Telephone: Telephone settings". You obtain the password from your network operator when you subscribe to the service.

If the password is changed correctly, the communicator requests the network to perform the desired operation (see chapter 4

"Telephone: Telephone settings - Changing the settings of network services").

Booking password

You can give your calendar booking password to those whom you allow to send event reservations to your own Calendar. The maximum length of the booking password is 8 characters, and it may contain letters, numbers, spaces, “-” and “_”. See chapter 9 "Calendar:

Calendar booking".


10-10

Other codes

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN2 code can only be changed in the phone interface Security options menu (Menu

5 3).

The PIN2 code is supplied with some SIM cards. The PIN2 code is required to access some functions, such as call charging unit counters, which must be supported by the

SIM card. If you enter a wrong PIN2 code three times in succession, the PIN2 code is disabled and cannot be used any more.

PUK and PUK2 codes (8 digits)

You cannot change the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) codes. If you lose the code, contact your network operator.

Security

The PUK is supplied with the SIM card. The code is required when you want to change a disabled PIN code. If you enter a wrong PUK code ten times in succession, the SIM card is blocked and you cannot make or receive any calls, except emergency calls. Contact your network operator for a new card.

The PUK2 code is supplied with some SIM cards. The code is required when you want to change a disabled PIN2 code. If you enter a wrong code ten times in succession, you will not be able to access the functions which require the PIN2 code. To utilise these functions, contact your network operator for a new card.

Sending DTMF tones

Sending DTMF tones

If you need to send long DTMF strings, it is more convenient to send them within the communicator interface, see chapter 4 "Telephone: Managing calls - Sending DTMF tones".

�

�

Make a call to the desired phone number.

Key in the digits you want to send as DTMF tones. The digits are sent one by one to the network. DTMF tones can be transmitted even when the keypad tones are set off.

Automatic transmission

In order to send DTMF tones automatically, you must store them first. Storing DTMF strings is most conveniently done in the communicator interface, see chapter 3 "Contacts: Contact cards -

Storing DTMF tones". If you want to store DTMF strings in the phone interface, see "Using memory: Storing information via the phone interface".

�

Press Memory. Key in the name of the contact card which contains the DTMF service phone number and the DTMF digits and press

Find.

For how to recall information, see "Using memory: Recalling information".

�

Note: When stored DTMF tones are recalled in the phone interface, only DTMF strings which have been stored in a Tel field can be used.

When the recalled string (containing the phone number and the DTMF digits) is on the display, press .

After the connection has been established, the DTMF tones will be sent directly, after a small pause (if the sequence contained the

p character) or after you press for the second time (if the sequence contained the w character).

Using memory

The phone numbers and names you store are normally located in the standard memory of the communicator, indicated by the letter “B” on the phone interface display.

The “B” memory is the communicator memory, called the Contacts directory. When the communicator is started-up for the first time, the “B” memory is selected automatically.

The “A” memory is located on the SIM card that is inserted in the communicator. The SIM card memory uses numbered memory locations to store data. When numbers are saved in the SIM card (“A”) memory, a message will indicate its location number. The number of standard memory locations available on SIM cards varies from one card to another.

When the “A” memory is selected, the phone interface stores all contact information on the SIM card and cannot access the Contacts directory.

Therefore, the use of the communications applications of the communicator interface will be less convenient (you will have to enter most contact information manually). This manual will assume that you use the standard “B” memory.

Chapter 15 - Troubleshooting 15-1

15. Troubleshooting

1. Phone interface or communicator interface does not start (both displays remain blank)

Make sure the battery is properly installed and charged.

Make sure that the contacts on the battery and the charging stand are clean.

Battery charge may be too low for operation.

Check the display and listen for the low battery warning tones. Charge the battery with the adapter and charger as described in chapter 2 "Getting started: Battery". If the NOT

CHARGING message is displayed, the charging is suspended. In that case check that the temperature of the battery is not above

+45°C (+113°F). Wait for a while, disconnect the charger, connect it again and retry. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.

2. Power comes on, but the phone interface does not work

Check the field strength indicator, you might be out of the cellular service area. See the answer to problem number 6.

Check if there is an error message on the display after switching on. If so, contact your local dealer.

Check that the SIM card is correctly installed, see chapter 2 "Getting started: SIM card".

3. Communicator does not activate or applications stop responding

Close the cover and open it again. If this does not help, close the cover and remove the battery. Replace the battery and open the cover again. Wait while the communicator performs a self-test and starts. See also problem 4.

4. Resetting the communicator

�

�

�

�

�

�

�

Sometimes, for example, removing the battery in mid-sending may cause errors in the communicator’s file system. If you receive internal memory or system error messages and/ or reboot prompts, or the device does not respond to commands normally, the reset operations help you to recover from most of these problems. Try the reset operations in the order they have been listed: if checking the file system does not help, try deleting temporary files, and so on. To reset the communicator, follow these steps:

Close the cover.

Remove the battery.

Place the connector end of the battery (the end with the four metal strips) in the battery cavity, but do not press the other end in place yet.

Place the communicator on a flat surface with the phone interface display upwards (do not let the battery slip from its place).

Open the cover.

Press and hold down the required key combination and simultaneously push the battery end of the communicator down, so that the battery clicks in place. Hold down the keys until you see progress messages or a confirmation prompt on the display.

In some cases you must confirm the action by pressing a command button.

After the reset, the communicator will reboot and start normally.

1) Check the file system

Key combination: Ctrl-Shift-(left arrow)

Symptoms: The Memory application (in the System main view) shows too much


15-2

(over 2 megabytes) or too little memory

(even if you have just deleted some documents), or the communicator interface applications crash when opening a document.

Caution: If there are problems in the file system, the corrupted files will be removed.

If there are no problems, this operation does not affect any documents or settings.

2) Delete temporary files

Key combination: Ctrl-Shift-(right arrow)

Symptoms: The communicator interface is in a reboot cycle or a note saying that an

.ini file is corrupted is displayed.

Caution: All temporary files are removed.

The Document outbox is cleared, default application settings are restored (for example, the SMS service centre number, Internet Access Point and remote mailbox settings are lost).

Stored documents are not affected.

3) Format file system

Key combination: Shift-ESC-F

Symptoms: The communicator interface is in a reboot cycle or does not boot up.

Caution: Formats the file system. All data you have entered will be lost. This operation will restore your communicator in the same state it was in at the time of purchase.

Remember that backed up data can be restored in all cases. If these measures do not help, contact your local dealer.

5. Calls cannot be made or received

The phone interface is off. Close the cover and switch the phone interface on.

If you get the message INVALID SIM CARD, your SIM cannot be used in the communicator. Contact you dealer or network operator.

Check the status of your call barrings and diverts, see chapter 4 "Telephone: Telephone settings".

The phone interface is already busy (data or fax being sent or received, the communicator is used as a fax modem). Wait for the data/fax transmission to end or drop the call (by pressing the board).

key on the phone interface key-

6. Call quality is poor

Your location may not allow better call quality. This problem may occur especially in a moving car or train. Move to a location where radio signal reception is better. See chapter 1

"Introduction: Facts about cellular data transmission".

Reception is usually better above ground level, outdoors and while stationary. Sometimes even moving the cellular phone slightly will improve reception. You can also try using the communicator in the handsfree mode with the communicator interface’s Telephone application (see chapter 4 "Telephone: Audio control"). Remember to turn the antenna to an upright position.

7. Calls, faxes or data cannot be diverted or barred

The service in question may not be subscribed to, or is not supported by the network, or the service centre number and voice mailbox number (required for call diverting) may be missing or incorrect.

Fax diverts and barrings are set in the Fax application’s settings. Data barring is set in the

Internet main settings (data cannot be diverted).

8. Cannot access numbers stored on the SIM

Use the phone interface’s Menu 8 3 2 to copy the SIM card entries into the Contacts directory. See chapter 14 "Phone interface: Menus

- Memory functions (Menu 8)".

9. Cannot open a directory entry in the directory view

If you cannot select a contact in the Telephone, Fax, SMS or Mail directory, it means that the contact card does not have a telephone number, fax number, cellular telephone number or an e-mail address. Within the Contacts application, add the missing information to the contact card.

10.Common reasons why faxes, short messages or mail cannot be sent or received

The phone interface is off, or you have no subscription to the network service, or the communicator is low on memory (see problem 16).

The number format used is invalid, or the called number does not answer (within 10 tries) or you are calling to a wrong phone number.

The phone interface is already busy (data or fax being sent or received, the communicator is used as a fax modem). Wait for the data/fax transmission to end or drop the call (by pressing the board).

key on the phone interface key-

Fax/data barrings or fax diverts may be active

(fax barrings/diverts are set in Fax application’s settings, data barrings are set in the Internet settings).

Fax reception: The SIM does not have a fax number.

Mail reception: The SIM does not have a phone number for data connections. Contact your cellular service provider.

Short message sending: You have not subscribed to the Short Message Service or the

Short Message Service centre number is missing or incorrect. Contact your cellular service provider.

Mail sending: You do not have a remote mailbox service or the mail server (which delivers your mail) does not comply with the SMTP protocol. Contact your e-mail service provider. If you are using the Send upon request option, mail sending must be started in the

Document outbox, see chapter 12 "Document outbox".

The failure reason can also depend on the cellular network: no network support for SMS, no network support for fax, no network support for data/mail, network out of order, network is busy, the field strength is not adequate for sending.

11.Cannot establish a terminal or Internet connection

Internet, Mail, WWW, Telnet or Terminal settings and configurations may be missing or incorrect. Check your Internet access point number (in Internet main settings). Contact your Internet service provider for the correct settings. See also chapter 7 "Internet: Internet settings".

If you receive internal error messages, remove and replace the battery and try again. If the problem persists, see problem 4.

If you receive service provider error messages when connecting to your remote mailbox, contact your remote mailbox service provider.

Your remote mailbox may contain corrupted mail messages or the mail server settings may be incorrect.

12.Cannot print

Direct printing is possible via an infrared link only. The remote infrared port must be compatible to the IrDA standard. Check the IR connection, see chapter 10 "System: Connecting to a PC".

You are using an incorrect printer driver, see chapter 8 "Notes: Printing".

If you fail to establish a working infrared connection, transfer the file to a PC and use the

PC to print the document. See chapter 10

"System: File transfer". Alternatively, you can send the document as a fax to the nearest fax machine. See chapter 5 "Fax: Sending faxes".

13.PC connectivity problems

The PC software for desktop connectivity is not installed, see chapter 10 "System: Connecting to a PC". The software is found on the diskette included in the communicator sales package.

Check the cable or IrDA connection used. If an infrared connection is used, the IR ports must be facing each other, see chapter 10 "System:

Connecting to a PC".


15-4

14.Fax modem problems

When the communicator is used as a fax modem (see chapter 10 "System: Fax modem"), use autobauding. The communicator and the

PC must be using the same baud rate. For the communicator, this is set in System settings.

For the PC, the baud rate is set in the PC’s connectivity software.

If a cable connection is used, fully compatible operation with all PC fax and terminal software cannot be guaranteed (consult with your dealer). If you experience problems with your PC fax software, use the infrared connection.

If you experience problems establishing a data connection with the remote modem, you can try fixing the data transmission rate by using an AT command, for example, ATS35 6, which defines the remote modem as a V.32 modem. Common AT commands (based on the ETSI 07.07 standard) supported by the

Nokia 9000 Communicator are listed in the file atcomm.txt on the diskette supplied with the product. For information on how to use the AT commands, consult the documentation of the telecommunication or fax application that you use on your PC.

15.Access code problems

The lock code is included in the communicator sales package. If you forget or lose the lock code, contact your communicator dealer.

If you forget or lose a PIN or PUK code, or you have not received such a code, contact your cellular service provider.

For information about Internet or terminal passwords, contact the service provider.

16.Low on memory

If you notice that your communicator’s memory is getting low (see chapter 10 "System:

Memory") or you receive a warning note about insufficient memory, you should delete some documents. If you want to keep a copy of the documents to be deleted, you can do any of the following: print the document; send it (as a fax, mail or short message); transfer it onto a PC; make a backup of all data in your communicator. See chapter 10

"System: File transfer" and “Backup/Restore.”

Especially downloaded pictures and received faxes can take up significant amounts of memory space.

17.Adjusting system time and date

This is done in the Clock application’s settings. Clock can be found in the Extras application group. See chapter 11 "Extras: Clock".

The date and time format can be selected in the System settings (Preferences), see chapter

10 "System: System settings".

18.Distorted characters in Terminal

If the data bits/stop bits/parity settings are different from those defined to the data service by the operator, characters may look distorted on the display.

19.Infrared connection

The communicator may be connected to a computer, laptop or printer via an infrared connection.

If you wish to use an infrared connection, the computer to which you want to establish a connection must have an IrDA compatible infrared port; installed and activated IrDA drivers; and Microsoft Windows 95 (for more information on IrDA drivers and their use in

Windows 95, contact Microsoft).

If the IrDA drivers are activated on your computer, the computer will automatically detect the presence of the communicator.

If you want use a printer which does not have an infrared port, you may try to connect to the printer via an IrDA adapter (not supplied with the Nokia 9000 Communicator).

For further information see readme.txt file on the diskette supplied with the communicator.

16. Care and maintenance

Your Nokia 9000 Communicator is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfil any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.

Keep the communicator and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s reach.

Keep the communicator dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

Do not use or store the communicator in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.

Do not store the communicator in hot areas.

High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

Do not store the communicator in cold areas.

When the communicator warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside the communicator, which may damage electronic circuit boards.

Do not attempt to open the communicator. Nonexpert handling of the communicator may damage it.

Do not drop, knock or shake the communicator.

Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the communicator.

Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.

If the communicator or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
