You may need to...


	… install the connection cable drivers on your PC before your PC can detect your phone. For information on this, please see the CD-ROM that came with your cable.
	... connect your Nokia 7250 to your PC during the installation, so make sure you have your phone and cable handy during the installation process.

You can either install the Nokia 7250 as a modem during PC Suite installation or separately after installing PC Suite.

The modem driver for the Nokia 7250 is installed automatically during PC Suite installation.

During installation, you must select whether you want to install the modem as a cable connection, an infrared connection or both. If you want to use a cable connection, you must then connect your phone to your PC using the connectivity cable, DKU-5, and allow your PC to detect the port where the phone is connected.

The Nokia Modem Options are installed automatically during PC Suite installation unless you unselect the Nokia Modem Options when you select which applications you want to install with the PC Suite.

If you want to install the Nokia Modem Options after you have installed the PC Suite, double-click the PC Suite file marked with .exe and click Modify on the Welcome screen. On the Select Applications screen, make sure that the Nokia Modem Options box is checked. You can also modify the installation by first going to Control panel > Add/remove programs > Nokia PC Suite 5.1 and then clicking the Add/remove button.

Warning: Do not uncheck the boxes that are for the applications you have already installed. If you uncheck the boxes while modifying the installation, all applications with an unchecked box will be uninstalled.

Note: If you are using Windows XP, you must update the IR driver manually. (This applies only to Windows XP IR drivers - other drivers can be installed automatically on Windows XP, too.) To manually install the driver, follow the instructions below.
