Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-5
Moving the communicator within a room
especially towards a window, may result in a
stronger signal. If the cellular signals are not
strong enough to support a voice call, data
connection should not be attempted until you
can find a location with better signal
reception.
To help with cellular data transmission, the com-
municator has an outgoing communications
manager called the Document outbox. When you
send faxes, short messages and mail, they always
go first to the Document outbox. The Outbox
prepares your fax, short message or mail and
then sends it through the phone interface. If the
phone interface is off or the cellular signal
strength is inadequate, the document will not be
sent until the phone interface is switched on and
the signal strength is sufficient. You do not have
to worry about whether the phone or fax called
might be off or busy: after the first attempt, the
Document outbox tries to send the document
nine more times.
The Document outbox can be accessed in the Fax,
SMS, Mail and Notes applications’ main views,
where it is shown at the bottom of the folders
list. The Document outbox is discussed in more
detail in chapter 12 "Document outbox".
There is no document inbox. When you receive
faxes, short messages or fetch mail, they go di-
rectly in their own received document folders.
Each application shows a received document
folder containing documents that can be viewed
in that application. For example, the Fax applica-
tion shows the Received faxes folder and the
Mail application shows the Received mail folder.
Things to remember
Services
In order to utilise the communication capabilities
of the Nokia 9000 Communicator, you may have
to subscribe to certain services separately. If the
service requires a separate phone number or spe-
cific settings, they must be stored in the commu-
nicator’s settings. For example,
• Fax sending and receiving requires that fax
service is supported by the network you are
using and activated for your SIM card.
• Using the communicator as a fax modem
requires that data service is supported by the
network you are using and activated for your
SIM card.
•Internet access also requires that data service
is supported by the network you are using and
activated for your SIM card. In addition, to
access the Internet, you must have obtained
an Internet Access Point from an Internet
service provider (contact your dealer for
details).
Access codes
The communicator uses several access codes to
protect against unauthorised use of your com-
municator and the SIM card. You can make
changes to the access codes in the settings of the
Security application (see chapter 10 "System: Se-
curity") or in the phone interface (see chapter 14
"Phone interface: Menus - Security options
(Menu 5)").
For access codes that can be changed and are
used by both interfaces, you can make the
changes via either interface.
The communicator interface’s Internet applica-
tions use passwords and user names to protect
from unauthorised use of the Internet and Inter-
net services. These passwords are changed in the
settings of the Internet applications.
The access codes you need most often are the
Lock code (provided in the sales package) and the
Personal Identity Number (PIN) code (provided
with the SIM card). The access codes are de-
scribed in more detail in chapter 10 "System: Se-
curity". See also chapter 14 "Phone interface:
Menus - Security options (Menu 5)"
