Introduction 48 2. Introduction The Nokia 9290 Communicator consists of two parts: the phone and the communicator interface. The phone is on the device cover and the communicator interface is inside the cover, as shown in Figure 11. communicator interface Figure 11 Both these parts use the same information from the memory of the communicator - they are not separate devices.
The communicator interface contains many organizer and communications applications. The large keyboard, command buttons, and display make using the applications easy. The phone is designed for making and answering calls quickly. The communicator looks and operates like other Nokia wireless phones, except the earpiece and microphone are at the rear of the device. The phone is switched on and off by pressing the button on the cover.
Introduction 50 The Nokia Wireless Data Forum also offers product support for the Nokia 9290 Communicator and other Nokia wireless data products. The Web site contains documents, drivers, quick guides, information on compatibility issues, and more. For those interested in data transmissions in mobile networks, the Web site provides documents concerning different technologies related to wireless data. You can find the Nokia Wireless Data Forum at http://www.forum.nokia.
• The Add-on Applications Guide gives a brief introduction of other software available for the Nokia 9290 Communicator. This guide is only available in a printed version. • The Getting Started guide fold-out poster and the Getting Started CD-ROM helps you to connect your Nokia 9290 Communicator with different kinds of wireless services. The PC Suite Guide and the Software on CD-ROM Guide are both on the CD-ROM under the section “Using the Nokia 9290 Communicator”.
Introduction Services that need to be subscribed to are typically the short message service, Internet, and fax. Because the number of special services depends on what services are available in your home network, it is, unfortunately, impossible to provide a comprehensive list of the services and settings you need in this user guide. Therefore, this user guide gives general information about additional services.
Introduction IMPORTANT: The default lock code is 12345. For security reasons, it is imperative that you change the lock code. Keep the code secret and in a safe place, separate from the communicator. For more information on changing access codes, see section ‘Security’ on page 212. You can change access codes that are used by both the phone and the communicator interface via either of them, provided that the code can be changed. For further details on access codes, see ‘Security’ on page 212.
Introduction 54 Wireless data connections can be made from most locations where your phone operates. However, it is recommended that you move the communicator to a location where the strongest possible wireless signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data transmission is efficient. In general, you should not expect the same performance from wireless data communications as from landline communications, due to the inherent characteristics of the wireless environment.
the existing call (if any), close the cover and switch off the phone (if on) and remove the battery. Then replace the battery and establish a new wireless connection. Dead spots and dropouts Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the phone user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced by geographical features or large structures. Signal impairment Distance and obstacles can cause signals to become out-of-phase.
Introduction 56 • Check that the signal strength on the communicator display is sufficient. Moving the communicator within a room, especially towards a window, may result in a stronger signal. If signals are not strong enough to support a voice call, data connection should not be attempted until you can find a location with better signal reception. Note: When the antenna is up, the signal is stronger.

General information 70 The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since excessive charging may shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
Memory card You can use the memory card delivered in your sales package to manage your documents, contacts databases, applications, backups, and so on.
