Phone preferences

Your Acer s10 can be connected to a GSM mobile phone to give you wireless access to
email and the Internet. Depending on the type and model of your phone, your
Acer s10 can communicate using the infrared port, or a cable. Here are a few
guidelines:

• You must have digital services already activated on your phone.

• Your phoe must have a driver.

• Your phone must have an enabled infrared capability that complies with the

IrDA standard, or you must purchase a cable designed for your phone model.

Communicating with your mobile phone

Once you have set up your wireless account, you are ready to set up connection to
your GSM mobile phone. Your phone can then be used to connect to the Internet
wirelessly, similar to a modem. In addition, you can manage the data on your mobile
phone using your Acer s10 . These includes:

• Access and exchange phone book records between your Acer s10 and your

mobile phone

• Use your Acer s10 to look up and dial numbers

• Check the status of your phone, signal strength, and battery level.

Setting up related Network preferences

You use the Network Preferences screen to record information about your internet
service provider (ISP) which includes your login information and connection profile:

1

On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Connection pick list.

2

Select Infrared to GSM Phone or Serial to GSM Phone according to your connection
setup.

3

Use information about your ISP to fill in the remainder of the screen, and the Details
screen.

Setting up related Connection Preferences

You use the Connection Preferences screen to select your mobile phone, and the
connection profile.

1

On the Connection Preferences screen, select Infrared to GSM Phone, or Serial to GSM
Phone, according to your hardware setup.

2

Tap the Edit button.

3

Tap on the Connect to pick list, and select Phone.

4

In the Via pick list, select Infrared or Serial according to your hardware setup.

5

Tap on the Details button. The phone driver will automatically fill in the speed and
initialization string, and you will probably not have to adjust these parameters.

NOTE:

The initialization string is dependent on the carrier hardware, rather than the type

of phone.
