Together with a compatible computer, you can use your device as a modem to connect to the web.
Before you can use your device as a modem
• You need the appropriate data communications software on your computer.
• You must subscribe to the appropriate network services from your service provider or internet service provider.
• You must have the appropriate drivers installed on your computer. You must install drivers for the cable connection, and you

To connect the device to a compatible computer using infrared, press the scroll key. Make sure the infrared ports of the device
and computer are directly facing each other with no obstacles between them.

Install Nokia PC Suite to your computer before you use a cable connection, as Nokia PC Suite automatically installs the USB data

To use your device as a modem, start Nokia PC Suite on your computer, connect the computer to your device with the data cable,
and select PC Suite.
