15. PC connectivity

You can send and receive e-mail, and access the internet when your phone is connected to a compatible PC through a Bluetooth or data cable connection. You can use your phone with a variety of PC connectivity and data communications applications.

Nokia PC Suite

With Nokia PC Suite, you can synchronize contacts, calendar, notes, and to-do notes between your phone and a compatible PC or a remote internet server (network service). You may find more information and PC Suite on the Nokia website at www.nokia.com/support or your local Nokia website.

Packet data, HSCSD, and CSD

With your phone, you can use the packet data, high-speed circuit switched data (HSCSD), and circuit switched data (CSD, GSM data) data services. For availability and subscription to data services, contact your network operator or service provider. The use of HSCSD services consumes the phone battery faster than normal voice or data calls.

Bluetooth

Use the Bluetooth technology to connect your compatible laptop to the internet. Your phone must have activated a service provider that supports internet access and your PC has to support Bluetooth technology PAN (personal area network profile). After connecting to the network access point (NAP) service of the phone and pairing with your PC your phone automatically opens a packet data connection to the internet. PC Suite software installation is not necessary when using the NAP service of the phone. See “Bluetooth wireless technology‚" p. 31.

Data communication applications

For information on using a data communication application, see the product’s documentation. Making or answering phone calls during a computer connection is not recommended, as it might disrupt the operation.

For better performance during data calls, place the phone on a stationary surface with the keypad facing downward. Do not move the phone by holding it in your hand during a data call.
