Setting up a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection
Getting Started
Your wireless Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone allows you to connect to a laptop PC, hand-held or palm-
sized computing device to send and receive email, access the Internet or your company’s network and
more, without searching for a wall-mounted telephone jack. In just three steps, you can use your
connectivity:
1.
First, you’ll need a Sprint PCS Wireless Web
™
Connection Kit (sold separately).
2.
Connect your laptop PC to your Sprint PCS Phone by using the serial data cable. The cable adapter will
connect to a hand-held or palm-sized computing device.
3.
Finally, take a few minutes to install the Sprint PCS Dialer
SM
software onto your computer using your
CD.
_
For complete details on how to install and use this software, refer to the user guide in the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection Kit you purchased.
Placing a Call
To place a call while you’re connected to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web:
1.
First, make sure the cable is connected properly.
2.
Open the Sprint PCS Dialer software or application on your computer and place the call.
_
The phone displays the number your computer is calling and a “connecting” message is displayed.
_
Once the call successfully connects, your phone’s display shows you information on the status of the
data call.
