Wireless modem setup for 8390

Your phone can function as a wireless modem when connected to your PC via Infrared. Once your phone is installed and configured

properly, your phone works in conjunction with your existing data software, allowing you to connect to the Internet or check e-mail

wherever you are.

Important:

This feature is available only if your service provider’s network supports digital data and fax services. A

subscription to these services may also be necessary. Please check with your service provider prior to making or receiving

digital data and fax calls.

Your PC’s hardware and virtual COM ports

Hardware resources between your computer’s physical COM ports and the infrared port often times are shared. Windows creates

"virtual" COM ports to accommodate connections between your computer and infrared devices. If your infrared port uses COM1,

your phone should be assigned to COM4; if your infrared port uses COM2, your phone should be assigned to COM5.

Important:

Before performing the modem installation, make sure that your PC’s IR port is functioning properly and/or that

there are no device conflicts. Windows cannot detect your phone if the IR port is not functioning properly or conflicting with

another device.

• DOWNLOAD MODEM DRIVER (WINDOWS 95, 98, AND ME)

Important:

Windows 2000 Professional users, please see “Infrared and Windows 2000 Professional” on page 28 for more

information on modem setup for your operating system.

During the modem installation process, Windows looks for software specific to the new device being installed. The modem driver

for your phone can be found in the 8390 product section of:

http://www.nokia.com/us

Since the

Add New Hardware Wizard

for

all

Windows operating systems searches the A:\ drive for device drivers first, Nokia

recommends that you download this file and save it to a floppy diskette.

Note:

If you choose to save the file to your hard drive, please make note of the path to the file as this information is required

to complete the installation successfully. Depending on your operating system, locating this file on your hard drive may add

additional steps to the installation process.

• GETTING STARTED (WINDOWS 95, 98, AND ME)

Before you can make or receive digital data and fax calls, you must do the following:

1

Establish an infrared connection between your PC and your phone.

2

Install your phone as a wireless modem connected via infrared.

3

Configure your data software to use your phone as the active modem for data and fax calls.

Establish an infrared connection

The preferable distance between the two devices making an infrared connection is a range of three inches (7.5 cm) to three feet

(.9 m) maximum. There must be no obstructions between the two devices, and the IR ports of the two devices must be pointing at

each other.
