To install the PC Suite on a PC

The CD-ROM should launch itself automatically after you have inserted it into
the CD drive of your PC. If not, please, follow these steps:
1 Click the Windows “Start” button; then click “Run”.

2 If your PC has Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT 4.0 (or later), type d:\9110.exe

in the command line. Substitute the letter “d” with the letter of the CD
drive.

3 Press Enter.

4 Follow the instructions shown on the screen.

To use the PC Suite with an infrared connection

1 The IrDA software must be installed and running on the PC. To check if the

IrDA driver is already installed on the PC, go to the Control Panel. If there is
an icon called Infrared, the driver has been installed.

2 Make sure that the infrared port of the communicator faces the infrared

port of the PC. Keep the infrared link clear: check the infrared indicators in
the indicator area, see ”Communicator display” on page 10. If the infrared
link is obstructed for too long, for example, if something is moved between
the infrared sensors or the communicator is moved, the operation is
interrupted.

3 Start the PC Suite software on the PC. In the Preference dialog, select IR as

the data transfer protocol, and the correct COM port.

4 Start the Infrared activation application on your communicator and press

Activate. See ”Infrared activation” on page 117.

Note: Making or answering phone
calls during a PC connection is not
recommended as it might disrupt
the operation.

Note: The PC Suite for Nokia 9110
Communicator program can be found
in the Menu under the heading “PC
and Macintosh software”.

Note: The infrared connection in Windows
2000 and NT 4.0 is not compatible with the
communicator. When using these operating
systems, connection to the PC must be
made via cable.
