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.
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.
• 1-800-4MY-9290 Nokia provides this toll free customer support line specifically for Nokia 9290 Communicator owners. • www.nokiahowto.com This web site is an interactive step-by-step user manual to help you learn how to use all the features on your 9290 Communicator.
Getting started 4 First start-up Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children. When you subscribe for service, your service provider gives you a SIM card and a phone number. The SIM card identifies your number to your service provider. If you have several GSM 1900 phones, you can move the phone number from one phone to another by moving the SIM card to the phone you wish to use. WARNING: Support for features may vary with different service providers.
Figure 3 When the card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled corner remains visible, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 bevelled corner is visible Getting started 5 3 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot: ensure that the gold contacts of the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled corner of the card is on the right. See Figure 3.
6 Getting started 4 When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the battery. If there is little or no charge in the battery, it is recommended that you connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the battery before continuing with the start-up procedure. 5 Open the cover of the communicator. You will see a welcome screen while the communicator performs a self-test.
7 Getting started Memory card The memory card supplied with your Nokia 9290 Communicator is already inserted in the memory card slot. You can use a 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.
Getting started 8 Figure 5 4 When you have secured the card in place, close the hatch. Charging the battery Note: See important safety information on battery usage on page 9. Tip: To check the current battery level, see the battery indicator on the communicator or phone display. 1 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the communicator, as shown in Figure 6.
9 Getting started 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.
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).
It is always recommended 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Mail sending - You have not subscribed to a remote mailbox service, or the mail server delivering your mail does not comply with the SMTP protocol. If you are using secure connections, your remote mailbox service also has to support secure connections. There may also be a transient problem with the remote mailbox service, or the Internet servers between the communicator and the remote mailbox. Try again after a couple of minutes, and then contact your Internet Service Provider.
Troubleshooting 272 10 Phone display shows “Message too long” when I try to open a received short message The received message is over 1377 characters long. Use the Messaging application to read it.
• If the status indication reads Waiting for reply from host or Looking up host address, it is likely that the WWW address (URL) has been mistyped, or there is a problem with proxy server settings in the Internet Access Point or the proxy server itself, or there is a transient problem with the WWW server or Internet connections between the WWW server and your Internet Service Provider. Check the proxy server settings explained on page 153.
Troubleshooting 274 12 Infrared problems The communicator may be connected to a PC, laptop, printer, digital camera, wireless phone or another communicator via the infrared connection.

312 Safety is the most important call you will ever make. A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with the police.
313 5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles. 6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.

316 Consumer Update on Wireless Phones U.S. Food and Drug Administration 1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.
317 FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.
318 5.What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
319 Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing. 8.
320 discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. 11.
