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.

instructions for how to set up your phone to receive data and fax calls.
