Introduction
1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9210 Communicator. It is a complete
communications tool: it is a wireless phone, messaging device, and a palmtop
organiser in one pocketable package.

Introduction
The Nokia 9210 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, both as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Figure2
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.
Tip: The communicator
interface has no power on/
offbutton-itswitchesitself
on when you open the cover
and switches off when you
close the cover.
The communicator interface contains many organiser and communications
applications. The large keyboard, command buttons, and display make using the
applications easy.

Introduction
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.
Getting help
Online Help
Thecommunicator has a helpfunction, which youcanaccessfrom any application
or view.
To view help, press the key on the communicator interface keyboard. You are
shown a page of information relevant to the task you are doing. You can also
search the help topics for specific subjects and keywords.
Note: The help application is located on the memory card. If you remove or
replace the original memory card, you will not be able to view the
help topics, unless you use PC Suite to install the help from the sales
package CD-ROM onto the new memory card. For more information, see
troubleshooting section 20 on page 246 and the PC Suite Guide on the
CD-ROM.

If you are switching from the Nokia 9000 Communicator, the Nokia 9000i
Communicator, the Nokia 9110 Communicator, or the Nokia9110i Communicator
tothe Nokia9210Communicator,see‘Totransferdatafromotherdevices’onpage

commands on the display are in bold and the settings and options are in
italics.
Facts about your communicator
About network services
The wireless phone described in this user’s guide is a dual band phone using either
GSM 900 or 1800 networks automatically.
Anumber of featuresincluded in thisuser’s guide are callednetwork services. They
are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before you can take
advantage of any of these network services, you must subscribe to the service(s)
you require from your home service provider and obtain instructions for their use.
Youcanthen activate thesefunctions as described inthis user’s guide. The manual
activationcommandsforvariousservicesarenotpresentedinthisuser’sguide (for
example, using the and characters for activating or deactivating services).
The Nokia 9210 Communicator, nevertheless, is capable of handling commands
giveninthat form. For thesecommands, please consultwithyour service providers.

Introduction
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
yourhome network,it is, unfortunately,impossible to providea comprehensivelist
of the services and settings you need in this user’s guide. Therefore, this user’s
guide gives general information about additional services. Please contact your
network operator for further information about the availability and the details of
services in your home network.
Tip: Write the
informationyouobtainfrom
your service provider down
ontheSettingsChecklist for
future reference.
If a service requires separate phone numbers or specific settings, they must be
stored in the settings of the communicator. For example:
Sendingandreceivingshortmessagesrequiresthatthisserviceissupportedbythe
networkyouare using and activated foryourSIMcard,and thatthe phonenumber
of the message centre is stored in the settings of the SMS application.
Internet access requires that data service is supported by the network you are
using and activated for your SIM card. In addition, you must have obtained an
Internet access point from an Internet service provider.
Stickers on the sales package
The stickers contain important information for service and customer support
purposes. Keep these stickers in a safe and secure place.
Attach the sticker to the page preceding the Table of Contents of this user’s
guide. The correct place for the sticker is indicated with a frame.
Attach the sticker to the Club Nokia Invitation Card, if supplied in the sales
package.

Introduction
Access codes
The Nokia 9210 Communicator uses several access codes to protect against
unauthorised use of your communicator and SIM card. Theaccess codes you need
most often are:
•the lock code (the predetermined default lock code is 12345), and
•the PIN code, which is provided with the SIM card.
You can change access codes that are used by both the phone and the
communicatorinterfaceviaeitherofthem,providedthatthecodecanbechanged.
For further details on access codes, see ‘Phone security’on page 215.
The Internet applications of the communicator use passwords and user names to
protect against unauthorised use of the Internet and its services. These passwords
are changed in the settings of the Internet applications.
Contact information
Tip: You can synchronise
the contact information on
your communicator with a
corresponding application
on a compatible PC. See the
PC Suite Guide on the CD-
ROM for details.
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.

Introduction
GSM data transmission
The Nokia 9210 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the
GSM network 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.
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.

Introduction
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
Deadspots are areaswhere radio signalscannot be received. Dropouts occurwhen
thephoneuser passesthroughanareawheretheradiosignal isblockedorreduced
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:
