Facts about your communicator
About system services
The wireless phone described in this user guide is GSM 1900 MHz.
A number of features included in this user guide are called network or system
services. They are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before you
can take advantage of any of these services, you must subscribe to the service(s)
you require from your home service provider and obtain instructions for their use.
You can then activate these functions as described in this user guide. The manual
activation commands for various services are not presented in this user guide (for
example, using the
and
characters for activating or deactivating services).
The Nokia 9290 Communicator, nevertheless, is capable of handling commands
given in that form. For these commands, please consult with your service providers.
Introduction
51
52
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. Please contact your service
provider for further information about the availability and the details of services
in your home system.
Tip: Write the
information you obtain from
your service provider down
on the Getting Started card
for future reference.
If a service requires separate phone numbers or specific settings, they must be
stored in the settings of the communicator. For example:
Sending and receiving short messages requires that this service is supported by the
system you are using and activated for your SIM card, and that the phone number
of the message
is stored in the settings of the SMS application.
Internet access requires that data service is supported by the system you are using
and activated for your SIM card. In addition, you must have obtained an Internet
access point from an Internet service provider.
Access codes
The Nokia 9290 Communicator uses several access codes to protect against
unauthorized use of your communicator and SIM card. The access codes you need
most often are:
• the lock code to lock up your communicator, and
• the PIN code, which is provided with the SIM card.
53
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.
The Internet applications of the communicator use passwords and user names to
protect against unauthorized use of the Internet and its services. These passwords
are changed in the settings of the Internet applications.
Contact information
All contact information that you store in the Contacts application, such as names,
addresses, and phone numbers, goes into the Contacts directory. The phone, the
communicator interface, and each of the applications have their own views of the
Contacts directory. The information shown depends on the information the
selected application can use. For example, when you are making a call via the
phone, you can view the name and phone number(s) of the contact. Possible fax
numbers, e-mail addresses, job titles, and so on, are not shown.
GSM data transmission
The Nokia 9290 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the
GSM 1900 MHz system to send faxes, short messages, and e-mail, and to establish
connections with remote computers.
Tip: You can synchronize
the contact information on
your communicator with a
corresponding application
on a compatible PC. See the
PC Suite Guide on the CDROM for details.
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 following factors may impair wireless connections:
Noise
Radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from
other phones will affect the quality of wireless data transmission.
Cell handover
As the phone user moves from one network cell to another, the signal strength of
the channel drops and the wireless telephone exchange may handover the user to
a different cell and frequency, where the signal is stronger. A cell handover may
also occur when the user is stationary, due to varying wireless traffic loads. Such
handovers may cause slight delays in the transmission.
Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or a conductor may cause erroneous
functions in electric devices. The discharge may result in distorted display and
unstable software operation. Wireless connections may become unreliable, data
may become corrupted, and the transmission halted. In this case you need to end
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. They can also
cause reflected signals. Both situations result in a loss of signal strength.
Low signal strength
Due to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal strength from a cell site may
not be strong or stable enough to provide a reliable data connection for
communication. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember
the following points:
• The data connection works best when the communicator is in a stationary
position. Attempting wireless data communication while in a moving vehicle is
not recommended. Fax transmission is more easily impaired than data or short
message transmission.
• Do not place the communicator on a metal surface.
Introduction
55
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.

Charging the battery
Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page 69.
1 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the communicator, as shown in
Figure 17.
Tip: To check the current
battery level, see the battery
indicator
on the
communicator or phone
display.
General information

Figure 17
2 Connect the charger to the proper voltage AC wall outlet. While charging is in
progress, the battery level indicator scrolls on the phone display.
3 When the battery is fully charged, the bars stop scrolling and four bars are
displayed. You may now remove the charger plug from the communicator.
Note: You can use all the features of the communicator during charging.
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of operation time remain, a
warning tone will sound, and the message BATTERY IS LOW will be repeated at
regular intervals on the phone display. When the charge level becomes too low for
operation, the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be displayed, accompanied by a
warning tone. If you do not connect the communicator to a charger, the
communicator switches itself off.
Note: When you connect a communicator with a fully discharged battery to a
charger, it will take 30-60 seconds before the CHARGING message
appears on the display and the battery indicator bar starts scrolling. After
that, it may take 10-30 seconds before you can switch the phone on.
Battery information
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (for example coin, clip, or pencil) causes direct connection of the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the bottom of the battery), for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting
the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold conditions, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A communicator
with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. The performance of Lithium-ion batteries is particularly limited in
temperatures below 0°C (+32°F).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not be disposed
of in municipal waste.
Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer and recharge the
battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. With approved
chargers and accessories, the battery can be charged continuously.
Tip: Read this section for
information on how to
prolong the life of your
battery.
General information

General information

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. When the operating time (talk-time and stand-by time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to
cool down or warm up first.
Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the phone and
the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength, various phone settings,
and the length of the screen blanker period.
It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator. Keeping
the battery charged maximizes the lifetime of the backup battery supplying power
to the real-time clock of the communicator. In case the backup battery is drained,
it will be automatically charged the next time a charged battery is reconnected to
the communicator.
Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the cover will
save all data.
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 you have
inserted the SIM card as described in the Getting Started Guide. If the
SIM card is incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it out of the slot,
and insert it again.
Memory card
You can use the memory card delivered in your sales package to manage your
documents, contacts databases, applications, backups, and so on.
Use the items on the memory card in the same way as corresponding items on the
communicator. You can, for example, install and remove software to and from the
memory card with the Install/Remove software application, and send messages to
contacts in the contacts directory of the memory card.
Note: Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation.
Inserting the memory card
1 Close the device cover and make sure that the phone is switched off. If it is on,
press
2 Open the hatch at the back of the communicator, using a minimum of two
fingers - one finger on each side of the hatch.
3 Slide the memory card under the memory card holder as shown in Figure 18.
Make sure that the gold contacts of the card are facing down.

• In the Calendar application, you can create and check your scheduled events,
appointments, anniversaries, and birthdays. You can also list things to do and
set alarms to all of the calendar entries.
• You can synchronize your calendar and tasks with Microsoft and Lotus
programs when you connect your communicator to a compatible PC. For
information on synchronization, see the PC Suite Guide on the CD-ROM.
Calendar entries
• There are four types of entry that you can store in the Calendar application:
• Appointment entries are the basic entries in your calendar.
• Event entries are related to the whole day, not to a specific time of day. Event
entries do not appear in the Weekly time schedule.
• Anniversary entries are repeated annually on the same date. Use Anniversary
entries for annual reminders of important dates, such as birthdays or
celebrations.
• Task entries are for writing down lists and things to do. These tasks can be
prioritized and organized into task lists. Tasks can also have deadlines.
There are seven different views to view entries. Press Change view to choose a
view. For more information about different views, see ‘Views’ on page 160.
Example: Use appointment
entries for meetings and
business lunches.
Tip: You can use the
standard clipboard
command shortcuts Ctrl+X
and Ctrl+V to cut entries
and paste them to a
different place.

dialogs. The following descriptions of each dialog page list all the
possibilities.
Details page
• Description: •The description of the entry.
• Timed: •Specifies whether a day entry is timed or untimed. ‘Timed’ means
that the entry has a specific start time, end time, and duration. ‘Untimed’

field below. If you select Yes, you must define the starting and ending
time.
• Date: •The date of the entry.
• Start: •The time or date when the entry starts, depending on the entry type.
• Display year: •Displays the start year of the anniversary, the number of years
that have passed since the start year, or no year information. The options
are Starting year/In number of years/None.
• Duration: •The duration of the entry. If you change the value in the Start and
End fields, this field is updated.

Tip: color is a handy way
to categorize entries - you
see more easily how your
time is reserved.
• Tentative: • Whether an entry is confirmed or not. A tentative entry is
indicated with
icon next to the entry text.
Example: If you are not sure
if an entry will take place,
you can mark it as Tentative.

This chapter describes how to get access to the Internet and how to use the
Internet applications, WWW browser and WAP browser.
Note: The Mail application, described in the Messaging chapter, also uses an
Internet connection. See ‘Mail’ on page 213.
To connect to the Internet,
• the wireless system you use must support data calls,
• the data service must be activated for your SIM card,
• you must have obtained an Internet access point from an Internet Service
Provider (ISP), and
• you must have entered the proper Internet settings.
Your ISP can give you instructions on how to configure the Internet settings.
Follow the instructions carefully.
Note: You must have your phone turned on, within system coverage and free
of any other voice or data call to connect to the Internet.
Setting up your Internet access point
Note: To be able to use the Internet services, you need to configure an Internet
connection. Some Internet service providers may offer you the possibility
to configure your Internet settings by sending you a smart message via
Internet
173
Internet

this feature, and if necessary, to activate it for your SIM card.
Remote modem type: The options are Analog/V.110 ISDN/V.120 ISDN. This setting can
depend on both your GSM service provider and ISP, because some GSM
systems do not support certain types of ISDN connections. For details,
contact your Internet service provider. If ISDN connections are available,
they establish connections more quickly than analog methods.
Max. connection speed: The options are Automatic/9600/14400/19200/28800/38400/
43200, depending on what you have chosen in Connection type and Remote
modem type. This option allows you to limit the maximum connection
speed when High speed is used. Higher data rates may cost more,
depending on the system service provider.
Note: The speeds above are the maximum speed at which your connection will
operate. During the connection, the operating speed may be less,
depending on network conditions.
Modem initialization: Controls your communicator using modem AT commands. If
required, enter characters specified by your GSM system service provider
or ISP.
Callback page
Use callback: This option allows a server to call you back once you have made the
initial call, so you have a connection without paying for the call. Contact
your Internet service provider to subscribe to this service. The options are
Yes/No.
Note: Charges may apply for certain types of received calls, such as roaming
and high speed data calls. Contact your GSM service provider for more
information.

Tip: A very basic GSM
data connection is:
Connection type: Normal,
Remote modem type: Analog,
and Max. connection speed:
Automatic.
Internet
180
Note: The communicator expects the callback call to use the same data call
settings that were used in the callback-requesting call. The system must
support that type of call in both directions, to and from the
communicator.
Callback type: The options are Use server number/Use server number (IETF)/Use number
below. Ask your Internet service provider for the correct setting to use. The
setting depends on the service provider’s configuration.
Callback number: Type in your communicator’s data phone number which the dial
back server uses. Usually, this number is the data call phone number of
your communicator.

WAP
The WAP application can be used to access Internet services which are based on
the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). These services can contain news, weather
reports, flight times, dictionaries, and so on.
Note: The content of each service depends on the content provider of that
service. To use such a service, follow the instructions provided by the
content provider.
Obtain access to WAP services
•
•
•
•
you must be within the coverage of a system which supports data calls,
a data service must be activated for your SIM card,
you must have obtained a WAP access point from a WAP service provider, and
you must have entered the proper WAP settings.
Differences between the WWW and WAP services
applications
The WAP application is similar to the WWW application, but there are two
differences:
• To access WAP services you need to define WAP access points in your
communicator. WAP access points are additional to the Internet settings. You
can receive WAP access points directly via a short message from your WAP
service provider, or define them manually. This chapter contains instructions for
manual setup.
• Certain bookmarks can be accessed through a specific access point, for
example, banking services may have to be accessed through the bank’s own
access point. The easiest way to use these kinds of services is to define an
altogether new bookmark which uses the correct WAP and Internet access
point.
Set up WAP connections
Note: Before you can use the WAP services, you need to configure your WAP
settings. Your WAP service provider will provide you with the exact
values for the WAP settings. Follow the instructions carefully. You can
use this information to define and edit the settings manually.
Furthermore, your service provider may be able to send some, or all, of
the required settings to you via a special short message, an Over The Air
(OTA) message. After you have received the settings, you can start using
the WAP application or edit the settings as described below.
Define and edit WAP connections
1 Press the Menu key and select Tools > WAP access. A dialog opens.
2 Press New to create a new connection, and Edit to edit an existing connection.
A dialog opens. See Figure 73.

define and edit WAP access
points is Ctrl + Shift + X.
Name: Name of the connection. All your connections should have different
names. You can define each name freely.
Secure connection: Whether the security protocol TLS is used for the connection.
The options are Yes/No. Follow the instructions given to you by your WAP
service provider. See also Glossary term ‘Transport Layer Security’ on page
346.
Note: Some secure connections use authentication procedures. If
authentication fails, you may need to download some certification keys.
Contact your WAP service provider for details.
Internet access: Choose from a selection list the IAP you wish to use for this
connection. If you have no IAPs, you create a new one by pressing New
Internet access. See page 175.
Gateway IP address: The IP address that the required WAP gateway uses.
