Connecting your 338 to a PC
This section describes how to connect your 338 to a PC using a USB cable and PC software CD, available as optional
accessories from 3. Through this interface, you may be able to establish a dial-up connection to the PC to access the
Internet. However, this function is not available in all countries. Please refer to 3 for availability. Also, by using the USB
connection, you can synchronise and transfer data between your 338 and the PC. For more information please see the
Software Manual in the CD-ROM available as an accessory.
Check that your operator allows use of your 338 as a modem to connect to the internet. Please contact 3 for further
details. 
The USB driver, which is available as an accessory, needs to be installed on the PC before the USB cable can be used. 
The following items are described in this section:
USB
USB is a simple method of connecting your 338 to a PC through a cable to achieve fast data transfer rates.
Connecting your 338 to a PC with a USB cable enables the PC to use your 338 just like a modem to establish a dial-up
connection to an Internet Service Provider. When used in 3G coverage, the USB connection may provide a much faster
transfer rate than a standard modem.
A USB connection also enables data transfer between your 338 and a PC. Refer to Data Exchange on page 101 for details.
A USB connection can also be used to synchronise your Contacts, Calendar and To Do list between your 338 and PC.
Your 338 may not be supplied with a USB cable or PC Synchronisation and Transfer software. These are available as
accessories.
When using the USB cable for the first time, ensure the USB Drivers are installed. See the Software Manual on the CD-
ROM for further instructions.
