Using Data Features* Add the Motorola Data Connectivity Kit to your wireless package and transform your Digital StarTAC® phone into a convenient and portable fax modem. Use the data cable to connect your CDMA phone to a compatible computer, and you can send faxes, access the internet, send and check e-mail – you can transmit and receive data wherever there is a wireless signal. In this chapter we will explain how to: • Place, end, and receive data calls. • Read the data display. • Set up Pre-arrangement.
Getting Started with the Data Connectivity Kit Attaching the Data Cable Before you install the fax/modem software on your computer, it is a good idea to attach the cable to the computer and phone. 1. Plug into Phone Plug the smaller end of the data cable, with the release tab facing up, into the accessory connector on your phone. 2.
Placing a Data Call Keep in mind: You will not be able to place a data or fax call through your phone’s keypad, using Last 10 Dialed, or with Caller ID. All data and fax calls must be placed through your computer. 1. Connect Make sure the cable is connected properly. 2. Place Call Open the application on your computer, like a fax or dial-up application, and place the call through the application on your computer.
Reading the Display Once the call is successfully connected, your phone’s display shows transmission information. Time elapsed Connection speed 12 25 Type of call Connection number Rate for sending Rate for receiving Fax 14.4 0:12:11 847-555-1212 Tx Rx IU During the Call Data Cable Accessing Features While connected on a data call, you can still access most of your phone’s features.
Setting up Pre-arrangement Some networks require you to change a setting on your phone before you can receive an incoming fax or data call. This is called pre-arrangement. There is no need to worry about placing data or fax calls – the pre-arrangement setting only applies to receiving calls. Keep in mind: In pre-arrangement mode, you will not be able to receive incoming Voice Calls. 1. Enter Menu Press ƒ then A to enter the menu. Press q or Z to scroll to Phone Options 2.
Receiving a Data Call When you have an incoming data or fax call, your phone’s display will show what kind of call you are receiving, along with the number of the caller. (If the number matches an entry in your Phone Book, you will see the name stored in the entry). If you select Auto Answer mode, your phone will automatically answer data or fax calls when the data cable is connected. Your phone and computer must be turned ON and the data cable connected. 2.
Introducing TrueSync Wireless data calls are only the beginning. With the data cable and TrueSync® Software, your phone can exchange select information with a compatible computer. You can use TrueSync to transfer and synchronize contact information from your phone to your compatible desktop, laptop or handheld computer, and vice versa.
Using TrueSync® Software Here are just a few ways TrueSync software helps make communication easier than ever: • Add a contact to your phone on the go. Update your contact file at the home or office later. • Transfer contacts into your phone’s internal Phone Book for easy access and quick memory dialing. • Customize many of your phone’s features, like ringer styles and security settings, through TrueSync’s simple windows interface.

Wireless data calls are only the beginning.
Accessory Options Hands-Free Vehicle Kit Optional Hands-Free Kits give you the convenience of hands-free, speaker phone operation while in your car. Full duplex operation lets you simultaneously talk and listen, so both parties can interrupt each other for a normal sounding conversation. The Hands-Free Kit powers the phone and charges its battery whenever your car’s engine is running. Keep in mind: Motorola offers a 3-Watt Vehicular Kit, which includes a 3-watt booster for analog signals.
Troubleshooting Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone? A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See page 12 for information about installing your battery. Q. The display says Locked. How do I unlock my phone? A. Try entering the last three digits of your wireless number. If that does not work, try using the factory preset lock code: 123.
Troubleshooting Q. I tried to place a call but received an alternating high/low tone. What does this mean? A. This sound means your call did not connect to the network. Most likely, you dialed the number too soon after turning the phone ON. Wait until the NS indicator disappears before placing a call. An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully extended and move clear of any obstructions, like bridges, parking garages, tall buildings, etc. Q.
Troubleshooting Q. My phone was stolen. What should I report and to whom? A. Report a stolen phone to the police and to your Service Provider (the company that sends you your monthly wireless service bills). Q. I plugged the data cable into my phone but my phone did not beep. How do I know if the data cable is ready to go? A. The beep is a sure sign that you are setup correctly. If you did not hear the beep, the first thing to check is that your phone is data capable. To do so, see page 116.
Troubleshooting Q. I can’t end my data call* by closing the application on my computer. What can I do? A. If necessary, try pressing º on the phone. You might also disconnect the cable or turn OFF the phone. Remember, if possible always close the connection through your computer. These alternative methods may disrupt the application on your computer. Q. I launched the MiniBrowser* but the display says: Service Not Available. What is wrong? A. You are in an area without service.
