IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If using a hand-held telephone, park the vehicle before conversing. Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop. The use of an alert device to operate a vehicles lights or horn on public roads is not permitted. Remember, road safety always comes first!

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular telephones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately-protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also be subject to interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position. Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit. Electronic fuel-injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise-control systems and other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted securely and operating properly. Switch off your cellular telephone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, or legal action or both.

EMERGENCY CALLS

IMPORTANT! This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals, cellular and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any cellular telephone or similar radio device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Locking the phone or restricting calls does not prevent making emergency calls with the phone. To make an emergency call, if the phone is not on, switch it on. If the ALPHA indicator is shown on the display, clear it by pressing the ABC key. Press and hold the CLR key for several seconds to ready the phone for calls. Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911, 112 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location. Press the SEND key.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Installing/removing the battery Refer to Installing the Battery (page 8). Always switch off the phone before removing the battery. Charging Information Remember that you must charge the battery before you can use the phone. After its initial charging, a battery may be charged with the phone switched on or off; charging will be slightly faster with the phone switched off. You can use the phone while the battery is being recharged.
Standby and Talk Times Approximate standby and talk times, for fully-charged batteries: Standby Battery Type Talk time time Light NiCd 300mAh 40 minutes 9 hours (BTH-8L) Slim NiCd 380mAh 50 minutes 10 hours (BTH-8S) Slim NiMH 550mAh 70 minutes 15 hours (BTH-8SM) Extended NiCd 800mAh 110 minutes 26 hours (BTH-8H) Ultra Extended NiMH 150 minutes 32 hours 1100mAh (BTH-8HM) NOTE:
Note that a new battery's full performance is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles! Standby time will be reduced by approximately 1 hour for every 6 minutes of talk time. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery. Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself in about a week at room temperature. For good operation times, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of
your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out. Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery) for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, 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 and 25 C (59 F and 77 F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries performance is particularly limited in temperatures below -10C (14 F). Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Battery Charge Indicator The battery charge indicator on the display shows the approximate level of charge. The indicator consists of a number of bars; the more bars showing, the greater the remaining charge.

Battery Charge Indicator

Non-charging indication If the battery is too hot or cold the bars on the battery charge indicator will flash (and the battery will not be charged).
Low-Battery Indication When the charge falls to approximately 5% of the batterys capacity, the message BATTERY LOW is displayed and the phone beeps once. This warning is repeated every five minutes if the phone is in standby mode, or every minute if in a call. When the battery is fully discharged, the message RECHARGE BATTERY is displayed and the phone beeps three times. The phone then switches off automatically. Battery Performance Batteries will last longer and perform better if allowed to discharge fully at least once a week. You can do this by leaving the phone switched on overnight (or longer for an Extended Battery, type BTH-8H or an Ultra Extended Battery BTH-8HM), until the message RECHARGE BATTERY is displayed and the phone switches off. Alternatively, you can use the deepdischarge facility if this is available on your (optional) Compact Desktop Charging Stand. Storage When a battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place. If left unused, a fullycharged battery will discharge itself in a few weeks at room temperature.

Complete Handsfree Car Kit (CARK-15/US)
This Complete Handsfree Car Kit, which should be installed by a qualified installer, allows handsfree operation of the phone in a vehicle, and permits the phone battery to be fast charged. The Complete Handsfree Car Kit requires an optional external antenna. No additional handset is required. The coil cord from the Cable Junction Box (JBH-1) plugs into the bottom of the phone, and the phone is then placed in the Mobile Holder (MBH-9). The Mobile Holder should be mounted on the Cable Junction Box (JBH-1), in a convenient place. The phone will now operate normally with the following additional features: When the phone is placed in the Mobile Holder, it will operate automatically in handsfree mode. When removing the phone from the Mobile Holder, it will change from handsfree to normal handset operation. To end a call, press the END key. When the phone is connected to the Kit, the menu functions for Lights Control, Keypad Tones and Ringing Volume will be different from those available in normal handportable use of the phone.
Volume (earpiece or handsfree speaker), keypad tones and ringing volume: Independent levels for each of these functions will be stored for handset mode and for handsfree mode. For example, if you are in handset mode when you select any of these levels, the level will apply only when the phone is operating in handset mode. Equally, if you are in handsfree mode when you select any of these levels, the level will apply only when the phone is operating in handsfree mode. Functions which can be available with the Complete Handsfree Car Kit: Ignition Sense This function (ignition-controlled switch on/off) allows the phone to be switched on and off automatically whenever the vehicle is started or switched off, respectively.
When the ignition is switched off, the message AUTO PWR OFF is displayed, a tone is heard, and the phone is switched off automatically after 5 seconds. If you press any key or if you take the phone from the Mobile Holder during this time, the phone will not be switched off. If you turn off the ignition while you have a call in progress, the phone is switched off automatically 5 seconds after you end the call. The Ignition Sense function is not user-selectable. It is always enabled when the ignition sense line is connected. Car Radio Mute This function mutes the car radio when a call is started or when the phone rings to indicate an incoming call. When the call or the ringing tone ends, the car radio is unmuted and regains its original volume level. The Car Radio Mute function is not user-selectable. It is always enabled when the mute line is connected.
Options available with the Complete Handsfree Car Kit:
Booster Kit (BSHK-2) This upgrades the signal output level of the phone to that of a full-powered 3W mobile.

Your Data Adapter

The data adapter grants you access from your personal computer to network services via your PremiCell terminal. Please ask your network operator for information on the availability of different services. Before you can benefit from the services provided by the data adapter, you may need to subscribe to the corresponding services (data, fax and SMS short messages service) available from your network operator. Note: Use the data adapter and its cable only with PremiCell 09i/18i terminals. Please note that normal landline modem is not compatible with the Nokia PremiCell 09i/18i, so you cannot connect it to the terminals phone or fax socket. If you have a fax-modem, however, you can connect it to the terminals fax socket to send faxes from your computer. Please also note that normal computer fax applications cannot be used with the direct RS232 data connection. You can have access to computer fax-services with the Nokia DataSuite software, described later in this Users guide.

Introduction to Wireless Communication
Wireless data connections can be made from most locations where your PremiCell terminal operates. Networks differ from land-line networks in many ways, for example traffic loads and the strength of radio signals may vary in a wireless network and cause handovers. It is recommended that you install the PremiCell terminal to a location where the strongest possible signal can be obtained (see the Low Signal Strength section below). When the signal is strong, the data transmission is most efficient. Factors that May Affect Wireless Data Transmission Noise Wireless connections may be impaired by radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from other terminals or phones. Handover As e.g. aeroplanes or big trucks move near the area where the terminal is located, the strength of the channel drops and the network hands the user over to a different cell and frequency, where the signal is stronger. A handover may also occur due to varying wireless traffic loads. Such handovers may cause slight delays. Dead Spots Dead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) A discharge of static electricity from a finger or a conductor may cause erroneous functions in electrical devices. The discharge can result in an unreliable wireless connection; the data may then become corrupted and the transmission halts. Should this happen, you may need to restart your computer as well as the terminal, and then establish a new connection. Fast Transients in the AC Power System Sometimes in an AC power system there may be voltage peaks which can disturb a connection. The data may become corrupted and the transmission is halted. Should this happen, you may need to restart your computer as well as the terminal, and then establish a new connection.

Low Signal Strength Due to either distance or obstacles, radio signal strength from a cell site may not be strong or stable enough to provide a reliable connection. Therefore, to ensure the best possible conditions for communication, remember to consider the following points:
The data connection functions best if the terminal is in a stationary

position.

Check that the terminal has enough signal strength. Moving the ter-
minal within a room, especially closer to a window, may result in a stronger signal. If the signals are not strong enough to support a voice call, you should not attempt to establish a data connection either. For monitoring the strength of the signal see the Nokia PremiCell Users Guide section 2, Installation. Also keep your terminal and computer 50 cm or more apart to avoid radio frequency disturbances (interference) and to ensure the best possible radio operation. Flow Control Flow control is a method of stopping and restarting data flow between two devices. This prevents one device from receiving too much data from the other, so that its buffer (a temporary data storage area) does not become full and overflow resulting in errors or loss of data. Software and hardware controlled flow controls are the two most commonly used flow control methods. The computer is often able to send data to the terminal faster than the terminal can transmit it to the network. To prevent the terminal buffer from overflowing, the terminal alerts the computer when the buffer is almost full. All data applications do not allow you to change the flow control settings of the application itself, so the only possibility is to change the flow control settings of the terminal.
Settings can typically be changed by adding the string S34=1 or S34=2 at the end of the initialization string of your application. The S34 register is used to control the flow control settings of the terminal. The value 1 is the XON/XOFF (or software) flow control, and the value 2 is the RTS/CTS (or hardware) flow control method. You can also use the AT+IFC command to change the flow control settings. See the list of AT Commands for further details on the command. To change the flow control method of your communications application, refer to its documentation. Note: Make sure that the same flow control method is selected for the terminal and for the communications application. Communications Applications You can use your data adapter with a variety of communications applications. One basic setting you may need to check is the communications port (COM port) used by your application. The COM port in your application must correspond to the port that your data adapter is configured to use. See also the Flow Control section above. If you have any problems, turn to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this Users Guide. AT Commands and S-registers The terminal is designed to be controlled within communication applications with so-called AT commands in a way very similar to a modem. AT commands order the data adapter to perform a task, while S-registers are used to determine how some AT commands will perform a task or to configure other options. Most communications applications have a user-friendly interface that hides AT commands from the user. Advanced users can also operate the data adapter manually with the AT commands. See the List of AT Commands for more information on the available commands and S-registers that can be used to control the terminal. Data Calls There are usually two ways to make a data call. You can either use the pull-down menus of your communications application, or use the AT commands to control the terminal. Once the dial command has been issued, the terminal opens the connection and dials the number indicated.

Short Messages Short Messages Service (SMS) messages are short text messages of up to 160 characters which can be transmitted over a digital wireless network. It is possible to send SMS messages to digital wireless phones or fixed wireless terminals from other wireless devices or remote computer terminals. These short messages will then be stored by the network service centre until delivery and are acknowledged upon receipt. Short messages are always sent first to a Short Message Service Centre run by the wireless network, which then forwards the message to the recipient. Short Message Facility of the Terminal You can display the received messages by using the keyboard of your computer. To activate the Nokia SMS Interpreter, give the AT command AT*C (see the list of AT Commands for more details on the command). You can access SMS services more conveniently via specific SMS applications, e.g. Nokia DataSuite (see the Using Nokia DataSuite section below). Using Nokia DataSuite You can use Nokia DataSuite to send and receive SMS messages on your computer via the PremiCell terminal. Nokia DataSuite includes a comprehensive set of features. These include, e.g., fax, file transfer, e-mail and Internet access. Note: To use DataSuite, you need to have a Nokia AFW1 data adapter (accessory). For more information on your DataSuite software, see the Installation guide included in the DataSuite sales package and Nokias web-site at www.nokia.com.

Troubleshooting

Overview This chapter points out the basic problems that could occur when operating with the data features of the PremiCell terminal. If the information is not transferred from the transmitting device to the receiving device, the cause of the error could be in the equipment at either end. It could also be in the communications application or the result of a poor communication line. Incompatibilities may also cause problems. With the AT command AT F, you can restore the factory settings of the data adapter including all the S-register settings. You should note, however, that this command does not save them. If you want to save the factory settings for further use, save them either with the command AT W0 or AT W1 in either User Profile 0 or User Profile 1. When you change Sregister settings, the Active User Profile changes. New settings in the active profile are not permanently stored unless the command AT W0/1 is issued to the terminal.
