1. Getting started
Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9290 Communicator. It is a complete
communications tool: it is a wireless phone, messaging device, and a palmtop
organizer in one package.
When you open your sales package, check that it contains the following:
• The Nokia 9290 Communicator
• 16 MB Memory card
• The Nokia 9290 Communicator User Guide, the Getting Started card (fold-out
poster), and the Add-on applications guide
• High Power Battery BLL-3
• ACP-12U Charger
• RS232 DLR-2L Adapter Cable
• CD-ROM with PC connectivity software
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 Figure1.
Figure 1
Getting started

Getting started
2
Both these parts use the same information from the memory of the communicator

- they are not separate devices. For example, the phone uses the names and
phone
numbers stored in the Contacts directory of the communicator interface, and
the
communicator interface uses the phone for voice and data communications, for
example, when sending and receiving faxes and connecting to the Internet.
The communicator interface contains many organizer and communications
applications. The large keyboard, command buttons, and display make using the

applications easy.
Tip: The communicator
interface has no power on/
off button - it switches on
when you open the cover
and switches off when you
close the cover.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
Support options
To get the most from your Communicator, Nokia’s support options are
designed to be flexible and comprehensive. You can find online learning,
developer’s forums, and customer care. It is recommended that you view the

If a valid SIM card is inserted in your communicator, the business card may
have
retrieved some information from the SIM card.
10 A note confirming that you have completed start-up successfully appears.
Press
OK.
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 into the slot as described above. If the SIM card is
incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it out of the slot, and insert it

again.
Memory card
The memory card supplied with your Nokia 9290 Communicator is already
inserted
in the memory card slot. You can use the memory card 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: The memory card is hot-swap-capable between the Communicator and
some digital cameras, MP3 players, and PC card readers. However, file
formats may vary between the Communicator and other devices. Check
the user manual of your camera, MP-3 player, or PC card reader to
determine compatibility with the Communicator. Do not remove the
memory card while reading or saving a file.
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

Charging the battery
Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page9 .
1 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the communicator, as shown in
Figure6.
Figure 6
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.
WARNING: Keep all SIM cards and memory cards out of the reach of small
children.
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.

Tip: Read this section for
information on how to
prolong the life of your
battery. Getting started
10
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.
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.

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.
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.
If a service requires separate phone numbers or specific settings, they must
be
stored in the settings of the communicator. For example:
Getting started
41
Getting started
42
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.
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 page228.
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 page228.
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.
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.

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.
Getting started
44
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.
• 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.

Send touch tones during a call
Dual tone multi-frequency tone system is used by all touch-tone telephones.
Touch
tones assign a specific frequency, or tone, to each key so that it can easily
be
identified by a microprocessor. Touch tones allow you to communicate with
voice
mailboxes, computerized telephony systems, etc.
To send touch tones during a call, you have two methods:
• Type the digits with the communicator keyboard. No menu or command button
selection is needed before starting to type the digits. Each keystroke
generates
a touch tone which is transmitted while the call is active.
• Alternatively,
1 Press Send tone. The touch tones sequences you have stored in the contact
card of the person you are talking with are shown. For information on how
to store touch tones sequences, see page122.
2 Select a touch tones sequence. You can edit the sequence. If there are no
stored sequences, you can type a new touch tones sequence into the input
field.
3 Press Send tone.
Note: You can send touch tones during a conference call by typing the digits
with the communicator keyboard, but you cannot access stored touch
tone sequences.

Connection type: The options are Normal/High speed. See Figure64.
Note: To be able to use High speed, the system service provider has to
support
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.

Internet
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.
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.

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

communicator when offline, the message will be deleted from the
remote mailbox the next time you connect to the mailbox.
If you want to delete a message from your communicator to save memory, see
‘ Avoid low memory’ on page180.
Managing your mail offline enables you to save in connection costs and work

Remember also relevant warnings, see ‘Important safety information’ on
page273.
PC Mail
Although you can send and receive Internet mail over a data call, you cannot
send
PC mail from the communicator. PC mail is mail you can read, write and edit
on
your communicator, but which you can send and receive only through a PC, the
next time you synchronize your communicator with the PC.
Mail synchronization with your PC
Synchronization is the process of making the contents of your mail messages
and
mail folders identical on both your communicator and your PC. This is done by

copying and combining information between the two machines. For more
information, see PC Suite Guide on the sales package CD-ROM.
Mail synchronization copies the messages between your communicator and your
PC E-mail program to allow you use either machine for reading and replying to

messages.
You can convert Internet mail to PC mail so that it is synchronized with a
PC, or
convert PC mail to Internet mail so that it can be sent directly from the
communicator. All synchronization settings are defined on the PC. The only
setting
you can do on your communicator is to delete the account you are using.

service and press Convert.
Note: You can convert several mails at the same time, but make sure that the
mails are of the same type, either Internet or PC mail.
Short Message Service
The Short Message Service (SMS) enables you to send and receive short
messages
over the digital wireless system.
Short messages can be sent or received even during voice, data, and fax
calls.
Messages can be read in any mobile phone that has the capability. If the
receiving
phone is switched off at the time of sending, the short message center
continues
to attempt to send the message until the validity period allowed by the
system
expires.
Note: If you want to send text you have written or edited in another

Security
Here you can define the phone security level of your communicator.
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.
The codes are shown as asterisks. If you are changing a code, you will be
prompted
for the current code and then the new code twice.

Extras
PIN code request:
If you set the PIN code request On, the communicator requests that you
enter the code every time you turn on the phone. If you enter the PIN code
incorrectly three times in succession, you will need a PUK code to unblock
the SIM card. When the SIM card is blocked, you cannot send or receive
any documents or calls except calls to preprogramed emergency numbers.
Otherwise, the communicator can be used normally. You need the PIN
code to change this setting.
Note: This setting cannot be changed, if the phone is switched off or if
there is
no valid SIM card inserted.
Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn the PIN code request off.
Autolock period:
Determines the security time-out period, after which the communicator
will lock. The options are None/2 minutes/5 minutes/10 minutes. The last
option allows you to define the number of minutes yourself. When the
communicator is locked, you can make emergency calls to predefined
numbers using the cover phone. You can also answer incoming calls and
make emergency calls using the Telephone application. All other actions
are blocked. The timer is reset by any input, data transfer, printing, and so

on. You need the lock code to change this setting.
Lock if SIM card is changed:
If set On, every time the phone is switched on this security option checks
whether the SIM card in the communicator has been changed. If the SIM
card has been changed and the new SIM card has not been used with your Extras

communicator previously, the communicator locks itself until the lock
code is correctly entered. The communicator recognizes five different SIM
cards as the owner’s cards. You need the lock code to change this setting.
PIN code:
This setting allows you to change the PIN code. The new PIN code must
be from 4 to 8 digits long.
PIN2 code:
This setting allows you to change the PIN2 code. The PIN2 code is required
to access some functions, such as the call cost settings, which must be
supported by your SIM card. If you enter an incorrect PIN2 code three
times in succession, you will need a PUK2 code to unblock the PIN2 code.
The new PIN2 code must be from 4 to 8 digits long.
Lock code:
This setting allows you to change the lock code. The default lock code is
12345. The new lock code must be from 5 to 10 digits long. If you enter
an incorrect lock code five times in succession, the phone will be locked
for five minutes after which you can try again. If you try again within less
than five minutes, you have to wait five minutes more before a code can
be accepted.
Restriction password:
This setting allows you to change the restriction password. If you enter an
incorrect password three times in succession, the password is blocked and
you must ask the system service provider for a new password.
Note: Avoid using codes that are similar to emergency numbers to prevent
accidental dialing of the emergency number.
Note: Even when the communicator is locked, it is possible to call to the
emergency number preprogramed into the phone (for example, 911 or
other official emergency number).
Data call restrictions
Here you can prevent or allow the following data call types:
Note: You need a restriction password to modify these settings.
Outgoing calls: When activated, prohibits making data calls.
Incoming calls: When activated, prohibits receiving data calls.
International calls: When activated, prohibits making international calls.
Incoming calls when roaming: When activated, prohibits receiving calls when

to be
authentic. If you are adding a new certificate, or want to check the
authenticity of
an existing certificate, proceed as follows:

details opens.
2 The Subject: field identifies the owner of this certificate. Make sure that
this is
the name of the party to whom you think that this certificate belongs.
3 Scroll the dialog until you see the Fingerprint: field.
4 The Fingerprint: field uniquely identifies the certificate. Contact the
help desk or
customer service of the owner of the certificate (see step 2 above) and ask
for
the MD5 fingerprint of the certificate. Compare the fingerprint with the one
shown in the dialog. If they match, the certificate is authentic.
Note: Use this authentication procedure each time you add a new certificate.
