Using Your Phone as a Modem
Connecting with a Data Cable
To use a data cable to connect your phone to a
laptop, handheld device, or desktop computer:
1 Open the connector cover.
2 With the phone’s display facing up, insert the
serial data cable’s connector into the accessory
connector, until you hear a click.
3 Insert the data plug into the data port of the other
device.
Connecting with Bluetooth
To use your phone as a modem via Bluetooth, the
laptop, handheld device, or desktop computer you
want to connect to must have a Bluetooth adapter
installed.
Check that the adapter is properly installed, and
then follow the specific instructions outlined in the
device’s user guide to connect the device to your
phone.
About Data Transfer Modes
When used as a modem, your phone has these
data transfer modes:
• Circuit data — used for sending and receiving
faxes and for transferring large files
• Packet data — used for small file transfers such
as email
To use these services, you must install the iDEN
Wireless Data Services software (available
separately) and subscribe to a Nextel Wireless
Web access plan. For more information on setting
up your computer and your i870 phone for packet
and circuit data calls, go to nextel.com.
