• ABBREVIATIONS
For the purposes of this user guide, the following abbreviations are used:
• SAFETY NOTES
• Please make backup copies of all important data to protect against possible loss or alteration.
• When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
• To avoid any potential loss of data, you should not make or receive calls while synchronizing data between the phone and a PC.
• Do not point the IR beam at anyone’s eyes or allow it to interfere with other IR devices.
• INFRARED COMMUNICATIONS
Infrared (IR) is one of the two available options for connecting your phone and PC. If you choose IR for your connection, please
note that the preferable distance between 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
Windows Millennium Edition (ME) and Windows 2000 users do not need to enable infrared communications on their PC 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.
Before installing PC Suite, please enable IR communications on your PC.
For more information on enabling 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.
TIME-OUT
If the infrared connection between your phone and PC has not been re-established within 15 seconds, a “time-out” occurs, meaning
Windows no longer searches for your phone and terminates the infrared connection.
