GPRS (general packet radio service)
GPRS is a technology that allows the car kit to send and receive
data over the mobile network (network service). GPRS is a data
bearer that enables wireless access to data networks such as
the Internet.
To use GPRS technology, you must subscribe to the GPRS
service. For details on the availability of and subscription to the
GPRS service, contact your network operator or service provider.
For further information, see “GPRS modem settings (network
service)” on page 51.
HSCSD (high-speed circuit switched data)
The car kit lets you use GSM high-speed data services (network
service).
Use high-speed functionality when your car kit is connected to
a compatible computer with Bluetooth wireless technology and
when the modem drivers supporting high-speed data software
are installed on the computer and selected as an active modem.
Modem driver software and installation help are available at
the Nokia website: http://www.nokia.com.
For information on the availability of and subscription to high-
speed data services, please contact your network operator or
service provider.
Reference information
Note
Remember that safely operating a motor vehicle in
traffic requires the full attention of all motorists. Use the
data transmission features offered by your car kit only if
traffic conditions permit safe use. Check if local laws
and regulations restrict the use of mobile phones while
driving.
Cellular transmission
Your car kit employs the data transmission capabilities of the
GSM network to send faxes, short messages, and e-mails and to
establish connections with remote computers (network
services).
GSM data capabilities
We recommend that you move the car to a location where the
strongest possible cellular signal can be obtained. A stronger
signal allows more efficient data transmission.
Cellular data communications are subject to a number of
factors that may cause interference:
Noise
Radio interference from electronic equipment and devices or
from surrounding traffic may impact the transmission quality.
