- A Symbian OS, Series60 Phone (Nokia 3650/3600, 6682, 3660/3620, 6680, 3230, 6681, 6600, 6670, 6620, N-Gage QD, N-Gage, 7610, 6670, N70, 6260, N90, 6630, Lenovo P930, Panasonic X700, X800, Samsung SGH-D720, SGH-D730, Siemens SX1, Sendo X). This software should work with all Series60 Version 1.x and 2.x devices.
First Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the PC and the Phone.
- Install PhonePoint.msi on the PC
- Launch the PhonePoint.exe application from the Start menu, an icon will appear in the system tray.
- Open the PhonePoint application by clicking on the slideshow icon in the PC’s system tray.
- Enter your license code by pressing the “Enter Code” button. If you don’t have a license code PhonePoint will run in trial / evaluation mode.
- Create a phone installation file (a SIS file) by pressing the “Create SIS File” button.
- Send the installation file to your phone with the “Send To Phone” button, this will launch a Bluetooth file-transfer wizard. If prompted, browse to the PhonePoint.sis file (default location C:\Program Files\PhonePoint\Sis\PhonePoint.sis). If the phone does not appear in the Bluetooth device list, ensure the phone has Bluetooth visibility “shown to all” (In “Connect.” -> “Bluetooth”).
- The installation file will be sent to the phone’s inbox. Navigate to the inbox and open the PhonePoint.sis message.
- Install the phone application on either the phone or the memory card.
- Goto Control Panel-> Bluetooth Devices-> Options -> Turn discovery on (checked)-> COM Ports -> Add Incoming Port (COM10)
- Launch the PhonePoint application on the phone (labeled “PPT” in Grid view).
- Either open a PowerPoint presentation on the PC or from the phone application’s Options Menu, select “Open Presentation”. This will open PowerPoint on your PC and load the most recent slide show (*.ppt file).
- Use the phone’s joystick to navigate through the presentation.
Please ensure Bluetooth is correctly functioning on your PC (i.e. you can browse other Bluetooth devices), and that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Bluetooth must be enabled when creating SIS files with the PC application. If problems persist it may be prudent to update the Bluetooth drivers on your PC to their latest revisions. PhonePoint supports the Widcomm Bluetooth stack from version 1.3 onwards and the Microsoft stack (which is included as part of Windows XP from Service Pack 2). Most Bluetooth devices are upgradeable – refer to your Bluetooth supplier’s website.
