Remote synchronisation

The Remote synchronisation application for the Nokia 9210/9210i Communicator

enables you to synchronise your calendar and contacts over a GSM data call with

various Internet calendar and address book applications as well as multiple

corporate office solutions such as Lotus Notes. The synchronisation application

uses SyncML technology for synchronisation.

Remote server settings are called synchronisation profiles. You can create several

profiles if you need to synchronise with multiple servers or applications.

Your service provider may be able to send some, or all, of the required settings to

you via a special short message called Over The Air (OTA) message. After you have

received and accepted the settings, you can start using the Remote sychronisation

application for synchronisation or edit the profiles as described below.

Note: For information on SyncML compatibility, please contact your service

provider or company help desk.

Note: This product includes software developed by The SyncML Initiative.

To create a new synchronisation profile

When you start Remote synchronisation, the current synchronisation profile is

displayed in the main view, under the title Remote Synchronisation. If no profile has

been created, the text ( No profiles defined ) is displayed.

To create a new profile, proceed as follows:

Multimedia converter

Tip: NIM stands for

“Nokia Interleaved

Multimedia” file format.

The Multimedia converter is a PC application. With Multimedia converter, you can

convert common video file formats to NIM format playable on the Nokia 9210/

9210i Communicator. You can also convert common audio file formats to WAV

format and optimise existing WAV format sound files for use with the Nokia 9210i

Communicator. You can use converted WAV files as ringing tones, for example.

Figure 6

There are major advantages in using the converter:

• When converting a file, the size of the converted audio or video file is usually

much smaller than the size of the original file. Therefore the playback on the

communicator does not require much processing power and is more fluent. In

fact, many files cannot be played at all on the communicator without

conversion.

• When playing back a WAV file with your communicator, the quality of the

sound is better.

Note: Multimedia converter supports most files that you can play in Windows

Media Player. The exact set of supported files depends on the version of

Media Player installed in your system and on the installed audio and

video codecs. Typically, Multimedia converter is able to support most AVI,

WAV, MPG, and MP3 files.

To optimise an audio-only file

1 In the menu, select File > Open. A dialog opens.

2 Browse to the audio file you want to convert and click OK. The file information

is transferred to the Original file fields on the left side of the window. The fields

display the file type, file size, and playback time.

3 Select one of the two options in the Audio format field:

Low compression: For the best sound quality

Normal compression: For slightly lower sound quality but considerably smaller

file size

4 Click Convert. The file information of the converted file is transferred to the

Converted file fields on the right side of the window.

5 In the menu, select File > Save as to save the new file.

more the video stutters.

Music, normal compression: Use this if the source file contains music or another

type of material that requires high quality sound.

Voice, high compression: If the original file contains only speech or if small file

size is more important than the sound quality.

5 Click Convert. The file information of the converted file is transferred to the

Converted file fields on the right side of the window.

6 In the menu, select File > Save as to save the new file.

Tip: You can play the

original file before the

conversion and the

converted file after the

conversion. Use the controls

below the preview screens

to start, pause, and stop the

playback.

Note: During the conversion you cannot start the playback of files.

You can use PC Suite for Nokia 9210i Communicator to copy the converted files to

your communicator. For more information, see the PC Suite Guide found on the

sales package CD-ROM.

Games

The communicator is not only an efficient business tool, but it also provides you

with exciting entertainment for your leisure time. In this section, you will find

fantastic games that you can play on your Nokia 9210i Communicator.

Tip: For Nokia game

the game, balls appear from the left and right, moving towards the centre and

sticking to the heap.

The heap can be rotated with the Arrows key by using the < and > arrows, allowing

you to change where the incoming balls will hit it. The heap grows until it crosses

the circular boundary, at which point the game is over.

There are four ball colours: red, green, yellow, and blue. Chains of three or more

balls of the same colour pop and vanish, scoring 5 points for each popped ball.

Later on, watch out for inert balls. Chains of inert balls do not pop by themselves,

but pop if another colour propagates through them.

As the wheels of time grind slowly on, balls in the heap start to flash and

eventually turn to stone. These stones can only be destroyed by launching special

bonus balls at them.

At the start of the game, you will see an empty bonus balls gauge. You can fill it

by popping four or more balls at once. The longer the chain the bigger the bonus.

As the gauge fills up, the icons illuminate to indicate which bonus ball will be

launched when you press the <fire> key. There are four different bonus balls, each

of which has a different effect on the heap:

These effects are:

• one bonus ball pops balls adjacent to where it hits the heap,

• one bonus ball pops balls where it hits the centre stone,

• one bonus ball pops a ring of balls around the heap where it hits, and

• one bonus ball pops all balls in and above the ring that it hits.

If your score is high enough when a game ends, you will be given the option to add

your name to the high-score table.

Gameplay

Make the snake grow longer by directing it to the food. You cannot stop the snake

or make it go backwards. Try not to hit the walls or the tail. In addition to the food,

there are some powerups on the playground. Powerups can either help your game

or temporarily make the game more difficult. They appear as question marks on the

screen. Their effect remains a mystery until the snake eats them.

The game has two modes. In classic mode, you can choose the maze where you play

and the speed at which the snake moves. In extreme mode, you advance from one

maze to another when you have reached a particular score.

You can challenge your friend to the game. You can play either with one device or

with two devices over an infrared connection.

Controls and tongue

You can control the snake in three different ways:

• Direct - use the Arrows key

• Relative - use the < and > arrows on the Arrows key. The snake turns clockwise

or counterclockwise.

• Diagonal - use diagonal arrows. The upper left arrow turns the snake up or left

and the bottom right arrow turns the snake down or right, for example.

The snake has a tongue. You can use it to catch food from a distance. Use the space

bar to control the tongue.

Levels of difficulty

The game has five levels of difficulty. On the first level, the snake moves slowly and

it is easy to control. At higher levels, the snake moves faster, but eating food scores

more points.

Mazes

In the classic mode, you can choose the maze where you want to play at the

beginning of the game. Mazes have different sets of food and powerups. Extreme

mode starts from the first maze and advances to a more difficult maze after you

have reached a particular score.

Powerups

The game has seven different powerups. They can make your game easier or more

difficult temporarily. You never know what the powerup is beforehand.

• Foodfest: some additional food appears on the playground.

• Invincibility: Snake can go trough walls and its tail without dying.

• Reducer: makes Snake shorter. The effect is permanent.

• Relax: slows down Snake.

• Reverse: reverses your game controls.

• Tongue: doubles the length of the tongue.

• Turbo: increases Snake’s speed.
