Nokia Suite 6.7 3. CONNECTING YOUR PHONE AND A PC

3. CONNECTING YOUR PHONE AND A PC

You need to connect your phone to a PC to be able to:

• Transfer information between Nokia PC Suite applications and the phone. For

example, to synchronize calendar appointments or transfer images with Nokia PC

Suite.

• Use your phone as a modem to connect your PC to network services such as the

Internet.

You can connect the phone and a PC via a USB or serial cable, Infrared (IrDA), or Bluetooth

wireless technology. When Nokia PC Suite installation is finished, the Get Connected wizard

opens automatically and guides you in configuring the connection type you want to use.

The connection types you can select in Get Connected depend on what connection types

your phone model and the PC support. To check which connection types your phone

supports, see www.nokia.com/pcsuite/compatibility, or your phone’s user’s guide.
