4. CONNECTING YOUR PHONE AND PC 
You need to connect your phone to a PC to do the following: 
 Transfer information between Nokia PC Suite applications and the phone. For 
example, to synchronize calendar appointments or transfer images. 
 Use your phone as a modem to connect your PC to network services such as the 
Internet. 
4.1 Selecting a connection type 
You can connect the phone and a PC via a USB or serial cable, Infrared (IrDA), or Bluetooth 
wireless technology. When Nokia PC Suite installation is finished, the Get Connected wizard 
opens and guides you in configuring the connection type you want to use.  
The connection types you can select depend on what connection types your phone model 
and the PC support. To check which connection types your phone supports, see 
www.nokiausa.com/pcsuite, or your phone’s user’s guide.

Infrared Infrared connects your phone wirelessly to your PC within a short 
range. The preferable distance between the phone and the PC is 
one meter (about three feet) at most. 
Bluetooth Bluetooth wireless technology connects your phone wirelessly to 
your PC within a short range. The phone and PC must be within a 
10-meter (about 30 feet) radius of each other. 
 
 
Note: Some phone models have an optional security setting called autolock period, 
which determines a time-out period after which the device will be locked if it is in standby 
mode. Before you can establish a connection between your phone and Nokia PC Suite 
you need to unlock your phone.

4.2 Connecting your phone via cable 
1. In Get Connected, select Cable connection as the connection type.

finishes installing the required drivers. 
 
Note: Although the CA-42 cable is a serial cable, connect it to the USB connector of your

automatically. If not, you can configure it manually in Nokia Connection Manager. To 
access Nokia Connection Manager, click Settings > Manage connections in the main 
window of Nokia PC Suite. Select the Serial cable connection type and click Configure 
to set the COM port. You only need to make this configuration once, before you use the

have the default or the PC Suite mode selected in your phone if you want to use 
Nokia PC Suite with your phone. See your phone’s user’s guide for more detailed 
information on the USB modes available. 
 
Note: Always make sure you use original Nokia cables with Nokia PC Suite to secure 
reliable operation of the Nokia PC Suite applications. Check the labeling on your cable. 
4.3 Connecting your phone via infrared

information is also in the system info. 
4.4.1 Pairing devices for Bluetooth connection 
To use Bluetooth as the connection type, you need to pair your phone and the PC. Pairing 
means that you code two Bluetooth devices to communicate so they can exchange data. You 
only need to pair the devices once, before you use the connection for the first time.  
Follow the pairing instructions in Get Connected and note: 
 If you use the passcode generated by Get Connected, enter the passcode on the 
phone when requested. Alternatively, you can create your own passcode (1-16 
characters, numeric) and enter the same passcode first on the PC and then on the 
phone when requested. This passcode is used only once and you do not need to 
memorize it. 
 You need to authorize the connection between your Nokia phone and your PC. Select 
Yes when you see a connection request on the phone’s display. 
 You can set your PC as authorized, which means that individual connections between 
your phone and your PC do not need a separate authorization. On your phone, find 
the Paired devices view, select your PC, and edit the PC to be authorized or trusted, 
depending on the term used in your phone. 
4.5 Connected phones
