Making Data and Fax Calls
Your mobile phone contains a modem similar to the
modems you use to connect your computer to your
home or office telephone service. Rather than connecting
to standard telephone lines, the modem in your mobile
phone allows you to connect your computer to the
mobile telephone system. In places where mobile
network operators provide the necessary support, you
can use your mobile phone to send or receive faxes,
upload or download data files, or access the Internet. An
approved cable (serial or USB) is required to connect
your mobile phone to your computer before making data
or fax calls.
Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Your phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls, but
each type of call requires corresponding software that
must be running on your computer.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between
two computers. While the data connection is in place,
files can be transferred between the connected
computers, according to the capabilities of the software
in use. When a data call is made, the connection remains
in place until it is closed by one of the computers
involved. To make or receive data calls with your mobile
phone, you must have a properly configured
communications program running on your computer.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax
message has been sent, your fax software or the
originating fax machine terminates the call. To make or
receive fax calls with your mobile phone, you must have a
properly configured fax program running on your
computer.

2AE/LZT 123 2489 R1
Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers
(ISP) when you want to use email or access websites on
the Internet. To make Internet calls, you must have an
account with an ISP and a properly configured Internet
access program (browser) running on your computer.
When your software is installed and set up to dial your
ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing
procedure. Once a connection to your ISP is established,
it remains in place until either you or your ISP
disconnects the call.
There are three different services your phone can use to
connect to the Internet. The installation procedure for
each varies slightly depending on the service that is used.
Check with your service provider to determine which
services are available in your area.
•Regular speed data calls (also known as
asynchronous data calls)
•Regular speed packet-data calls
•High-speed packet data calls (also known as IS-
2000)
Note! Throughout this chapter, all regular speed data
and regular speed packet-data call will be referred
to as “regular speed data calls”. High-speed packet
data calls will be referred to as “high-speed data
calls.”
Quick Net Connect
Quick Net Connect establishes an Internet connection
quickly, easily, and economically. The digital connection
bypasses the typically-used analog modems and connects
to the Internet in a matter of seconds. Contact your
service provider for more information.
Before You Start
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the
following:
1 You must have a cable to connect your mobile
phone to your computer. There are two types of
cable available:
•The DRS-11 attaches to a serial port on your
PC. It can be used with any operating system
and works for all types of data/fax services. If
you are using high-speed Internet service with
this cable, you may also want to install a high-
speed serial port in your PC. The high-speed

Notforcommercialuse
AE/LZT 123 2489 R1 3
serial port allows you to take full advantage of
the speeds offered with this service.
•The DCU-10 attaches to the USB port of your
computer. It is the recommended cable for high-
speed Internet service. It can only be used if
your PC uses one of the following operating
systems: Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows ME, or Windows 2000.
2 Confirm that your mobile service provider supports
digital data services in your planned usage area and
that you have the necessary subscription.
3 Confirm that your computer has the following
hardware or software:
a An operating system that supports data access
software, such as Windows 98 or Windows
2000.
b Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or
file transfer software. Class 2.0 is different from
Class 2.
4 Download the T60c drivers from
www.SonyEricssonMobile.com/mobileinternet. Be
sure to note where you save the file.
Note! If you are trying to connect to a 25-pin serial
interface port on your computer, you will need a
9-pin to 25-pin serial adapter. You can purchase
this adapter at most computer supply stores.

Operation
Making Data and Fax Calls
Review the instructions from your mobile service
provider that describe the procedures and rules for
making and receiving data calls in your area.
To avoid unnecessary airtime charges, terminate your
data calls as soon as you have finished transferring files by
pressing the right soft key.
Making Voice Calls While Connected to
Your Computer
You can originate voice calls when you are not on a data
call. You can receive voice calls if Data/Fax is set to Voice
Calls. Your mobile phone enables you to initiate voice
calls from Windows applications when connected to the
Ericsson Voice Call Dialer. This is particularly useful if
you have contact cards with phone numbers in a contact
management application. You can open a contact card,
click on the phone icon, and originate a call using your
mobile phone. Then you simply pick up your mobile

Notforcommercialuse
AE/LZT 123 2489 R1 11
phone and continue the call. The Ericsson Voice Call
Dialer is compatible with most contact manager software
packages.
To install this feature, follow the directions in “Manually
Installing T60c Modem Drivers” on page 7, except you
must select the modem labeled Ericsson T60c Voice Call
Dialer in step 11. Also, Modem Speed (under Settings,
DataFaxModem in your phone) must be set to Up to
19200 bps.
Use With Other Accessories
Charger
To charge your phone’s battery with an approved charger
during data operation, do the following:
1 Plug the charger cable into the serial or USB cable.
The charge connector is located on the end of the
cable that plugs into the phone.
2 Plug the charger cable into the wall outlet or
cigarette lighter.
Bluetooth™ Phone Adapter DBA-10
Before using the high-speed modem option and the
Bluetooth™ Phone Adapter, Modem Speed (under
Settings, DataFaxModem in your phone) must be set to
115200 bps. After use, restore the Modem Speed setting
to its previous value. Failure to do this will make the
phone adapter inoperable and may interfere with the
high-speed modem operation.
CommuniCam MCA-10 or MCA-20
Before using the high-speed modem option and the
CommuniCam MCA-10 or MCA-20, Modem Speed
(under Settings, DataFaxModem in your phone) must
be set to Up to 19200 bps before attaching the
CommuniCam. After use, restore the Modem Speed
setting to its previous value. Failure to do this will make
the CommuniCam inoperable and may interfere with
the high-speed modem operation.
Achieving Best Performance
Charging your Battery
Both your mobile phone and your laptop computer
batteries should be well-charged before starting data
operation. This will help you avoid interruptions due to
loss of power. You can charge your phone’s battery with
an approved charger during data/fax operation as
mentioned previously.

Signal Strength
It is important to maintain a good signal path between
the phone and the mobile telephone system when
making data calls. Signals are generally stronger when the
phone is in an upright position and the antenna is fully
extended. If you are indoors, your signal is generally
stronger when the phone is near a window.
In a Vehicle
It is possible to receive data calls while in your vehicle.
Operation from a moving vehicle may not be satisfactory
because data may be lost when your call is transferred
from one mobile base station to another. Be sure to give
full attention to driving and pull off the road and park
before making or receiving calls, if driving conditions so
require.
Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that
would not be bothersome during a voice call may cause
problems during data operation, depending upon the
error correction capabilities of the software being used.
Such interruptions are uncommon during stationary
operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people
passing nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength.
You can use the signal strength indicator on your phone
to verify that you have a good signal path.
Troubleshooting
Your PC does not recognize the phone.
You may need to install your phone’s modem drivers. See
“Manually Installing T60c Modem Drivers” on page 7.
You cannot set up or maintain a data/fax
