Receiving Sprint PCS Wireless Web Calls
Most users use the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection to
place outgoing data/fax calls. But you can also set up your
Sprint PCS Phone to receive (host) data and fax calls.
Because each phone model is different, the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection Kit doesn’t include instructions for
how to set up your phone to receive data and fax calls. Here’s
the procedure to set up your Sprint PCS Phone to receive a
(mobile-terminated) data or fax call:

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web

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 e-mail, 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). For purchase
information, see page 141 in the Accessories section.
2.
Connect your laptop PC to your Sprint PCS Phone by
using the serial data cable. The cable adapter will
connect to a handheld or palm-sized computing device.
3.
Finally, take a few minutes to install the Sprint PCS
Dialer
SM
software onto your computer using the CD.
For complete details on how to install and use the
software, refer to the user guide in the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection Kit you purchased.
Placing a Data Call
To place a data call when you’re connected to the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web:
1.
First, make sure the cable is connected properly.
2.
Open the Sprint PCS Dialer 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.
