Introduction

Your phone has a built-in modem. You can use it to connect a PC or a PDA to your Internet

Service Provider (ISP) to browse the Internet or manage your e-mail messages.

You can also use the modem to transfer files (for example, using FTP) or to send and receive

fax messages.

• Infrared communication. To turn on the infrared port in

your phone, scroll to Connect/Infrared port.

•Bluetooth™ wireless technology. To use Bluetooth™

wireless technology you need to pair your phone with a

Bluetooth-enabled computer. To use dial-up networking via

Bluetooth™ wireless technology, the operation mode has

to be set to On. To change operation mode in your phone,

scroll to Connect/Bluetooth/Options/Operation mode.

• Ericsson serial interface cable DRS-10 or DRS-11 (RS-232

cable) (PC only)

The instructions in this document focus on how to set up:

• a PC running Windows® to use a GPRS connection

• a Palm™ m505/V™ to use a GPRS or a High Speed Data (GSM Data) connection.
