43 Getting started 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. 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. 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. 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.
