Installing the modem .inf files for the Nokia 6800 and Nokia Modem Options

The modem .inf files for the Nokia 6800 are 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 the PC Suite installation, unless you unselect the Nokia Modem Options when you select which features 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 file 6800_PC Suite_515.exe and on the Welcome screen, click Modify. On the Select Features screen, make sure that the Nokia Modem Options box is checked. You can also modify the installation by going to Control panel>Add/remove programs>Nokia PC Suite 5.1 then click the Add/remove button.

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