5.4 Connecting to the Internet using your phone

With Nokia PC Suite’s One Touch Access application you can use your phone as a modem to create a network connection to the Internet. A connection can be established via cable, infrared, or Bluetooth wireless technology.

To use your phone as a modem, you must have the following:

• A phone and a subscription that support packet data.

• Appropriate software for data communications installed on your PC.

• A subscription to the appropriate network services from your home service provider or

Internet service provider.

• The appropriate modem drivers installed on your PC. See section 3, Installing drivers

in this guide.

Note: One Touch Access detects the connected phone and automatically uses it as a modem. However, if your phone is connected to a PC via Bluetooth, One Touch Access recognises the phone automatically only if no other connected modem is available and you have used a Bluetooth modem the previous time you used One Touch Access.

16

Note: If your phone does not support packet data you can access the Internet by creating a dial-up connection. See the instructions for using your phone as a modem in the Nokia PC Suite help.

To connect to the Internet

1. Connect your phone to the PC.

2. If you are using a CA-42 serial cable or infrared for connection between Nokia PC

Suite and your phone, the connection types need to be deselected so that you can use the connection type for the modem. One Touch Access automatically deselects the connection types when creating a connection, and reselects them when the modem is disconnected.

3. In the Nokia PC Suite main window, click Connect to the Internet to open One

Touch Access. It will automatically connect to the Internet after 10 seconds.

OR

Open One Touch Access and click Settings to select the modem you want to use and your network operator from a list of operators, and then click Connect to establish the

Internet connection.

4. When you no longer need the connection, click Disconnect to close the Internet connection.

With Nokia Application Installer you can install Symbian and Java™ applications such as calendars or games from a PC to your phone. The file types you can install with Nokia

Application Installer are .SIS, .SISX, and .JAR. You can download applications to your PC, for example, from Nokia Web pages or other service providers' pages. You can also install applications that you have created yourself.

To install an application on your phone

1. Download the .SIS, .SISX, or .JAR file for the application you want to install.

2. Connect your phone to the PC.

3. In Windows Explorer, double-click a .SIS, .SISX, or .JAR file you want to install on your phone. Nokia Application Installer installs the application on your phone.

Note that if you have a phone with a Symbian operating system, you need to finalise the installation on the phone side.

If you want to, for example, select whether you install the application on the phone’s memory or memory card, use Nokia Application Installer to install the application.

To open Nokia Application Installer, click Install applications in the Nokia PC Suite main window. For use instructions, see Nokia Application Installer help.

For more information about what kind of applications can be installed on your phone, see your phone's user’s guide.

17

Note: Nokia does not warrant for applications from non-Nokia sites. If you choose to download applications from them, you should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any site.

5.6 Managing phone contents on a PC

When you connect your phone to a PC with Nokia PC Suite, PC Suite creates a phone folder to be viewed in Windows Explorer, under Nokia Phone Browser. Nokia Phone Browser displays phone folders and subfolders for each phone that is connected to the PC. If a memory card is inserted into the phone, the memory card is displayed as a phone subfolder.

With Nokia Phone Browser you can view files and folders and transfer them between your phone and a PC in Windows Explorer in the same way as you would any files or folders on your PC.
