Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-1 1. Introduction Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9000il Communicator, the versatile communications tool you need to stay connected to the office when you are out. The Nokia 9000il Communicator, with a mobile phone, messaging device, Internet access terminal and palmtop organizer all in one compact unit, is more than just the sum of its components.
1-2 device cover, and the communicator interface (Figure 1-2) is under the cover. The word “interface” emphasizes the fact that both of these two aspects of the Nokia 9000il Communicator use the same resources and work closely together — they are not separate devices.
Chapter 1 - Introduction The Internet applications use passwords and user names to protect from unauthorized use of your Internet services. To change the password for an Internet access point, go to the Internet main screen, press Settings, scroll to Internet access and press Change, then press Edit and scroll to Password. To change an e-mail password, go to the E-mail main screen, press Settings, scroll to Remote mailbox settings, then scroll to Remote mailbox password.
1-4 Facts about wireless data transmission Facts about wireless data transmission The Nokia 9000il Communicator employs the digital data transmission capabilities of the GSM network to send faxes, short messages, e-mail and to establish connections with remote computers. Wireless data connections can be made from most locations where your mobile phone operates. However, it is recommended that you move the communicator to a location where the strongest possible cellular signal can be obtained.

This activates the communicator interface. ƒ Use the scroll keys on the left of the screen to scroll to your home location in the list, then press the button on the right of the screen next to the command OK.
Chapter 2 - Getting started SIM card contents Normally, a new SIM card will not contain any contact information. After the personalization procedure, if the SIM does contain stored names or numbers, you will be asked if you want to copy the SIM card contents into the communicator’s memory. If the phone interface is switched off, the question will be asked the next time the phone interface is on and you activate the communicator interface.
2-4 Note: The battery does not fit into place if the SIM card is not correctly installed. Do not force the battery into place! Check that Connectors you have inserted the SIM card into the slot as described above. Connectors (1) IrDA-SIR infrared port for connecting to a PC or a printer (Figure 2-5). For more information on infrared connections, see Chapter 10 "System: Connecting to a PC" on page 10-6. (2) Antenna connector for car installation (Figure 2-5).
Chapter 2 - Getting started 2-5 Battery Your Nokia 9000il Communicator is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The Extended Li-Ion Battery provides up to three hours of talk/ fax/terminal time or up to 30 hours of standby time. Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer. Charging the battery Use only those chargers approved by the communicator manufacturer for charging a Lithium-Ion battery. The communicator can be used during charging.
2-6 Battery Note: No information or user data will be lost if the battery is removed or completely discharged. User data is automatically retained by the flash memory and is unaffected by the status of the battery. Always keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping the battery charged maximizes the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power to the communicator’s real-time clock. In the unlikely event that the backup battery is drained, it may be replaced by qualified personnel.
