I.INSTALLATION

1.  Q. Should I uninstall Oxygen Phone Manager 1.* in order to check OPM II?
    A. Not at all. Previous version of OPM and OPM II don't interfere in any way.

2.  Q. All the phones in "My phones" tree are called as "Unknown". Why?
    A. This is the default alias for every connected phone. In order to discriminate
      between the several phones of the same model you can give a short description
      to each phone. To do that, go to the phone information window and enter the
      new alias.

1.  Q. I'm trying to connect Nokia 7650 or 3650 and NOTHING HAPPENS!!!
    A. Symbian (3650 and 7650) phones are supported by separate program: Oxygen Phone 
    Manager II for Symbian phones. You can download it from your personal customer's page. 
    You can find the link, login and password in standard letter from our mail-server. Oxygen
    Phone Manager for Symbian phones is not official part of Oxygen Phone Manager II packet-
    it comes as add-on separate and independent program for registered cutomers of common Oxygen
    Phone Manager II.

2.  Q. I have Nokia 7210 (6610, 7250, 6100, 6800) phone. I'm using DKU-5 cable for connection. 
    I cannot establish the connection!
    A. We don't support DKU connectivity yet. For 7210, 6610 and 7250 we support F-Bus cable 
    only with PIN-plug, which connects under the phone's battery.

3.  Q. I have IR-Port from IR-Wave and your program doesn't work!
    A. Unfortunately, there exists a number of problems with driver installation
    for this model; thus we don't guarantee program support for this model.
    Anyhow, we can suggest to do the following: in Control Panel you shoud set the following properties]
    for IR-device:
    INFRARED TRANSCEIVER TYPE -> Sigma Tel 4000
    MIN. TURN-AROUND TIME -> 1.0
    SPEED ENABLE -> 57600
    It may function, but we cannot guarantee the result.

4.  Q. I have MS-Windows NT 4.0 and cannot connect the phone using Infra-Red!
    A. Infra-Red connectivity as well, as USB connectivity is not supported by 
    MS-Windows NT 4.0. We can suggest to use F-Bus cable instead.

5.  Q. I cannot connect 6110, 6130, 6150 or 6190 phones using Infra-Red to your program!
    A. Old 6110, 6130, 6150, 6190 phones had DirectIR protocol. We support only the newer 
    Infra-Red protocol- IRDA. This protocol is used by 6210, 6310, 7110 and all newer Nokia phones.

6.  Q. I cannot connect 5110, 5130, 5150, 5190, 6110, 6130, 6150, 6190 phones to your program, 
    using original Nokia DLR-3(p) cable. What should I do?
    A. You can connect these phones, using DAU-9p cable only. DLR-3 and DLR-3p cables don't 
    support these models, even if they have the same plug.

7.  Q. I don't have COM (RS-232) serial ports on my PC, only USB ports are available. Is there a chance 
    to connect any phone, using cable?
    A. Certainly! Some USB cables may support USB connectivity. In this case you will need specific 
    driver for COM-port emulation on USB cable.

8.  Q. I cannot establish connection with your program. It searches for the phone and fails after while.
    A. A) Please, check, whether you have set right connection options in Tools -> Options -> Connetion and common. 
    You should choose correct cable type and COM port number. Also, if you have IR-port, you should deselect all 
    COM-ports and select 'Search on IRDA devices' option only.
       B) Please, check, whether no modem is assigned to the COM-port, you've chosen.
       C) Please, check, whether no bluetooth device is assigned to this port.
       D) Please, check, whether you have properly installed infra-red port drivers.
       E) Please, check, whether you are not running any other phone management or Palm synchronization 
       software parallely with Oxygen Phone Manager and whether their connection detect utilities (so-called 'monitors') 
       are not active.
       F) In case of IR-port connection, please, check, whether specific IR file-transfer managers are inactive.
       G) If the problem remains, please, contact or technical support service directly at support@oxygensoftware.com 
       and we will find the cause of the problem as soon, as possible.

9.  Q. I have original Nokia USB cable and I've found even emulation drivers for it, but I still cannot use your software!
    A. Original 5510 USB-to-USB cables were designed for MP3 uploading only. To manage you phonebook, you will need standard 
    F-Bus cable with PIN-plug, which connects under the phone battery the same one, as for 3310 or 3330 phone, for example. 
    Please note, that not all 3310 or 3330 cables are fully compatible with 5510 phone. In this case we suggest to try the 
    connection with trial version of our program: http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip

10. Q. I have a laptop and I have re-installed operating system by myself. Now IR connection through built-in IR port is lost. 
    What shall I do?
    A. We don't recommend our respective customers to reinstall operating system by theirselves, because Notebooks 
    and Laptops usually need specific drivers, which could not be found among Internet. Please, contact you hardware or 
    software provider or IT company for professional software tunning for your laptop.

11. Q. I'm using F-Bus cable and operating system, built on NT technology (NT 4.0, 2000, XP), but I cannot connect your
    program still.
    A. Unfortunately, some PC motherboards don't support F-Bus mode under these operating systems,
    but under legacy Win32 (95 OSR-2/98/ME) operating systems only. Anyhow, we suggest
    to test compatibility with the trial version of Oxygen Phone Manager II http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip
    It may function in case, if you change IRQ assigned to this very COM port to another free one, but, unfortunately, we 
    cannot guarantee the result.

12. Q. I've bought F-Bus cable and it has neither COM, nor USB plug, but PS-2 one (like
    mouse or keyboard cable). Can I use this for data synchronization?
    A. PS-2 cables are of M-Bus (half duplex, 9600 bit/s max speed) type only and they suit for
    service needs only. Unfortunately, you cannot use this cable anyway for data synchronization
    with any existing program from any manufacturer.

13. Q. I've bought F-bus cable and 8310 (8390, 6510, 6500, 6590) GSM phone. I wonder, how
    can I connect it to the phone?
    A. You should replace the battery, the SIM card, the SIM card's holder. Then you should
    put the SIM card into the cable's holder (or specific slot), then you should put the battery
    there and place the whole construction into the battery slot. It should connect to the
    technological contacts near the SIM card.

14. Q. Do you support Bluetooth connection?
    A. Of course. We support Bluetooth connection for 6310i phones with firmware version 5.50 
    and later. Bluetooth connection for 8910i phones will be available in future versions.

15. Q. What speed should I set for serial RS-232 COM port for cable connection?
    A. You should set it to 115200 bit/s, as it is required for full-duplex F-Bus connection.

16. Q. I have Sunix/Sigmatel 1800 IR port and your program doesn't communicate with it.
    A. Please, try to install your IR port as 'Sigmatel 400'. It should function now.

====================================================

III.PHONEBOOK

1.  Q. I have Nokia 8210 (5210, 8250) phone and my contacts in CSV format. When I'm 
    importing my contacts from CSV file, each contact splits to several ones and each 
    of these has only one phone. Why is this so?
    A. 8210 phone doesn't support multiple phone numbers per contact. Therefore, if 
    you have checked 'Create new contact for each phone number during import', each 
    phone number will be assigned to separate contact, if you are importing phonebook 
    for the phones, which doesn't support multiple phone numbers per contact.

2.  Q. I cannot add any phone number or change address info. What shall I do?
    A. You should click on the corresponding icon near field's name and then select
    the operation, you wish to perform (Add, delete, edit etc.)

3.  Q. Why synchronization button is not active?
    A. We will implement immediate synchronization function in next versions.

4.  Q. I'd like to develop my own application for phonebook management. Could you offer
    any Delphi component or ActiveX control for this purpose?
    A. Oxygen Phone Manager II- is the only product, we can offer for phonebook management.

====================================================

IV.LOGO, GALLERY AND RINGTONE MANAGEMENT

1.  Q. LogoEditor toolbars are disappeared. Now I have only logo edit screen without any menus and buttons.
    A. It may happen after incorrect program exit. Please close Oxygen Phone Manager II and delete the registry section 
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oxygen\Oxygen Phone Manager II\LogoEditor. After that run the program. All toolbars 
    should be visible.

2.  Q. I have Nokia phone of 1900 GSM standard. I cannot update operator or start-up logo, using your program!

    5100 phones yet. 5100's support will be implemented in future versions.

6.  Q. I've set my colour picture as operator logo, using your Gallery Manager (tm). Now I cannot download any coloured Operator
    Logo using WAP (OTA) or receive it by SMS.

    if you will set your custom picture as operator logo using any external program, the phone will switch itself automatically in
    another mode, which enables to upload logos using only external programs. If you wish to upload pictures, using WAP (OTA), you
    should re-update your phone's firmware in official Nokia service-centre.

7.  Q. I cannot assign my custom picture for Caller Group, using Gallery Manager in newer phones
    3510i, 5100, 6100, 6610, 6800, 7210, 7250, 8910i.

IX.GENERAL  TECHNICAL  AND  OTHER  QUESTIONS

1.  Q. I cannot access internet, using your program!
    A. You don't need any special program to access Internet. You should just download standard drivers and 
    install your phone as common modem, using these drivers. Please, note, that you should use IR-connection
    in this case. You won't be able to access Internet, using phones, which doesn't support
    InfraRed IRDA connection.

2.  Q. Can I re-flash my phone, change IMEI or ESN number or firmware version?
    A. We are not authorized to provide such services, therefore we haven't implemented such capabilities in 
    our program. Changing IMEI (for GSM) or ESN (for DAMPS phones) is illegal and is strictly prohibited by 
    international laws. If you wish to update your phone's firmware, we can suggest to contacl local authorized Nokia 
    service centre.

3.  Q. Can I activate network monitor for newer Nokias beginning with 6310, 3410, 6310i, 3510 etc?
    A. Such operation is prohibited by Nokia. If you need Network Monitor for newer Nokia models, you should contact 
    local Nokia branch and provide official request from your company (which should be cellular network connection or 
    service provider), and corresponding certificate, diplomas and licenses, which should ratify your qualification. 
    As we know, in this case local Nokia branch could change your phone to the same with Network Monitor on for 
    additional price. If you still need Network Monitor and you cannot provide such data, we can recommend to use 
    older models: 6210 or 5130, for example. We do support Network Monitor functionality for these older models.

4.  Q. Can I unlock my phone, using your software?
    A. Unlocking is illegal in Russia, therefore we don't provide such capability in our program.

5.  Q. Can I manage Nokia Wallet (in 6310i phone, for example) with your program?
    A. This feature is banned by Nokia, due to the high security level, therefore you cannot manage 
    Nokia Wallet using any software.

6.  Q. I've forget my PIN code and typed it wrong three times. Now my phone is block. Can I remove
    this block with your program?
    A. We don't provide such option. Please, contact your cellular network operator.

7.  Q. Can I clone and combine SIM cards with your program? I want to use 2 SIM cards with my Nokia and it has 
    only one SIM card slot.
    A. We are not authorized to support such function. SIM cloning is illegal and is strictly 
    prohibited by International laws. If you need to use 2 SIM cards, we can suggest to use
    Benefon Twin phone. It is the only phone, which supports 2 SIM cards officially, therefore there is no need
    of cloning and combinig SIM cards. 

8.  Q. I've read, that I subscribe for technical support and free upgrades for one year, if I will buy your program. 
    What will happen after one year?
    A. You will be able to use our program still after 1 year of support, unless you won't be able to get free 
    upgrades. You can order additional years of support for half of original program's price for each year.

9.  Q. Can I output phone's conversation to my speakers, using multimedia soundcard?
    A. Unfortunately, our program doesn't support this very function.

10. Q. I've got some strange errormessage, while using your program. How can I make a screenshot of errormessage,
    so I could send it to you?
    A. If it is our program's standard errormessage, you shoud just copy the text from it and paste it to the letter
