Notes about data calls

•Do not terminate digital data/fax calls by pressing your phone’s key. This action may cause your data application to lock up temporarily and could cause loss of data.

•Data calls cannot be initiated using your phone’s keypad. All data calls must be initiated using the data software.

•Any touch tones (DTMF tones) needed for calling cards, special long-distance access numbers, etc. must be programmed into the dialing string.

•OTHER DATA APPLICATIONS

There are several other types of telecommunications applications that can be used with your Nokia phone and your computer. Some of these include:

•Terminal Programs - used to connect to BBS services (bulletin board system) and mainframe or mini-mainframe computers. Quarterdeck’s Procomm Plus, Microsoft HyperTerminal, Microsoft Works (Communications Module), R-Link, and P-Term are just a few examples of this type of program.

•Remote Administration - used to remotely access your home or office computer for file sharing or remote control.

Symantec’s PCAnywhere, McAfee’s Remote Desktop and Reach Out, Farallon’s Timbuktu, Claris’ Apple Remote Access, and	9
Attachmate’s EXTRA! are a few examples of this type of program.

•On-line Services - used to access the Internet, or discussion and information forums within the service. On-line services provide their own proprietary software interface for accessing their service. America Online, CompuServe, MSN (Microsoft Network), and Prodigy are just a few on-line service providers that use their own proprietary software.

Important: These examples are provided for your information only. Nokia does not endorse or provide support for any of the above applications or services.
