1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Nokia 9000i
Communicator. The Nokia 9000i Communicator
is a versatile communications tool: it is a mobile
phone, messaging device, access terminal and a
palmtop organiser in one compact package.
This chapter helps you understand how the Nokia
9000i Communicator operates. The following
"Getting started" chapter helps you begin using
the Nokia 9000i Communicator, as it explains
the start-up procedure and outlines the special
features. The rest of this manual deals with the
communicator interface applications and the
phone interface.
If you are an experienced mobile phone and mo-
bile office user, read at least this introductory
chapter and the "Getting started" chapter. Basic
information about the communicator applica-
tions is always available in the context sensitive
help, which can be activated by pressing the Help
button on the communicator interface keyboard.
The Nokia 9000i Communicator has two inter-
faces, the phone interface (see figure 1-1) and
the communicator interface (see figure 1-2). The
phone interface is on the device cover and the
communicator interface is under the cover.
The word “interface” emphasises the fact that
both of these two aspects of the Nokia 9000i
Communicator use the same resources and work
closely together - they are not separate devices.
For example, the phone interface uses the names
and phone numbers stored in the communicator
interface’s Contacts directory, and the communi-
cator interface uses the phone interface for com-
municating with the “outside world” (for

example, when sending or receiving faxes and
connecting to remote computers).
The phone interface is designed for making and
receiving calls quickly. It looks and operates like
other Nokia mobile phones (except that the ear-
piece and microphone are on the backside of the
device). The phone interface is switched on and
off by pressing the
button on the cover.
IMPORTANT! Do not switch on the phone inter-
face when mobile phone use is prohibited or
when it may cause interference or danger.
The communicator interface has many organiser
and communication applications. The QWERTY
keyboard, command buttons and large display
make using the applications easy. The communi-
cator interface has no power on/off button – the
communicator interface activates itself when
you open the cover and deactivates when you
close the cover.
