For the purposes of this user guide, the following abbreviations are used:
•SAFETY NOTES
1 Please make backup copies of all important data to protect against possible loss or alteration.
2 When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
3 To avoid any potential loss of data, you should not make or receive calls while synchronizing data between the phone and a PC.
4 Do not point the IR beam at anyone’s eyes or allow it to interfere with other IR devices.
• INFRARED COMMUNICATIONS
When transferring information between your phone and PC using the various PC Suite applications, an infrared connection
between phone and PC is required. The preferable distance between the two devices in an infrared connection is a range of three
inches to three feet maximum. There must be no obstructions between the two devices and the IR ports of the two devices have
to be pointing at each other.
Your Nokia phone is a Class 1 Laser Product.
Enable infrared communications
It is not necessary to enable infrared communications for users of Windows Millennium Edition (ME) and Windows 2000 prior to
using this feature. The infrared port is always active.
If you use Windows 95 or Windows 98, you can use the infrared control panel to activate or deactivate infrared communications.
During the PC Suite installation process, the installer application activates infrared communications on your PC. The infrared port
on your PC remains active until you deactivate it.
To enable infrared communications on your phone, please refer to the infrared section in your phone’s user guide.
Interruptions to infrared communications
Windows provides visual and audible notification when it senses an
interruption to infrared communications between your phone and PC.
Windows allows you to re-establish infrared communications between
the two devices so it can re-send the data that was being transferred
when the interruption occurred.
If the infrared connection between your phone and PC has not been re-established within 15 seconds, a “time-out” occurrs,
meaning Windows no longer searches for your phone and terminates the infrared connection.
