3 Nokia Connection Manager

Nokia Connection Manager is a utility that allows you to select or change the type of connection between your phone and PC. You
may need to use Connection Manager when (for example):
• You need to select an IR connection because your DKU-5 data cable is not readily available.
• You have chosen IR as your connection method, but the compatible phone containing the data you want to copy (using Nokia
Content Copier) supports a cable or Bluetooth wireless technology.
Select the connection type
You can have multiple connection types selected simultaneously.
1 Establish the appropriate connection between your phone and PC (using
IR or cable), then double-click the Connection Manager tray icon

Selected/enabled buttons are indicated by their green color.
3 Allow Nokia Connection Manager to detect your phone, then click OK to
return to Nokia PC Suite or the desktop.
If your phone is not detected within 10 seconds, switch the connection type off then on again. This action forces Connection
Manager to redetect your phone.
Important: An error message may be displayed when selecting IR if IR communications is not enabled (or not installed)
on your PC. Please make sure IR communications is enabled on your PC prior to selecting IR in Connection Manager.

for compatibility with other Nokia phones.

or IR connection. Before Dial-up Networking or other data/fax software can communicate with your phone using the DKU-5 data
cable or IR, you may need to launch Connection Manager and turn off cable or IR communications. This disables automatic
detection of your phone and releases the COM ports for use by other Windows applications.
