1.Getting started

The Nokia 9500 Communicator offers you various business applications, such as e-mail, office tools, and Web browsing, and flexible and fast network connections with integrated wireless LAN and EGPRS (EDGE).

Installing the SIM card, battery, and memory card

Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children. For availability and information on using SIM card services, contact your SIM card vendor. This may be the service provider, network operator, or other vendor.

Use only compatible MultiMediaCards (MMC) with this device. Other memory cards, such as Secure Digital (SD) cards, do not fit in the MMC card slot and are not compatible with this device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the incompatible card may be corrupted.

1.Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.

With the back of the device facing you, press the back cover release button (1), and slide the cover in the direction of the arrows.

2.Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot (1).

Make sure that the beveled corner of the SIM card is pointing towards the camera lens and the contact area on the card is facing downwards.

3.Note: Before you use an existing compatible memory card with your Nokia 9500 Communicator, you must convert the memory card with Data mover and reinstall the applications that you previously installed to the memory card. However, do not reinstall any pre-installed applications for the Nokia 9210 Communicator. Your Nokia 9500 Communicator contains a later version of these applications, and these later versions must be used with the Nokia 9500 Communicator.

Slide the memory card into the memory card slot (2).

Make sure that the beveled corner of the memory card is pointing towards the SIM card slot and the contact area is facing downwards. Note that the back cover must be in place for the device to recognize the memory card. You can remove a memory card after you have removed the back cover even when the battery is inserted. Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation such as saving a file to the memory card as this may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the card may be corrupted.

4.Insert the battery. Align the contacts of the battery with the corresponding connectors on the battery compartment.

5.Insert the locking catches of the back cover into the corresponding slots, and slide the cover into place.
