3. I am having PC connectivity problems.

1. I am having problems with the infrared.

The Communicator may be connected to a PC, laptop, printer, digital camera, wireless phone, or another Communicator via the infrared link.

If you are using the PC Suite for Nokia 9110i Communicator program on your PC, and want to receive data from another Communicator or a digital camera, you will have to start the infrared activation application on your Communicator before the connection is made.

If you are using the Nokia Communicator server program on the PC, the infrared connection is established automatically when you use one of the PC connectivity applications of the Communicator. Infrared has to be set as connection type from application settings.

The PC to which you want to establish the connection must have an IrDA compatible infrared port, installed and activated IrDA drivers, and Microsoft Windows 95. For more information on IrDA drivers and their use in Windows 95, contact Microsoft.

For further information, see the documentation section on the CD-ROM in the sales package of the Communicator.

2. I am having printing problems.

If you are using the infrared connection, the infrared port of the printer must be compatible to the IrDA standard. If you fail to establish an infrared connection, transfer the file to a PC, and use the PC to print the document.

Alternatively, you can fax the document to the nearest fax machine.

Check that your printing settings are correct. You may be using an incorrect printer driver.

3. I am having PC connectivity problems.

Make sure that the correct PC connectivity program is installed and running on your PC. Check the cable or infrared connection used. If you use an infrared connection, the IR ports must be facing each other.

Check that you are using the correct COM port.
