Hello:

I currently use my MPower with my Nokia 6600 (Little brother to your 6620)
and I think I can help here.  Since I'm not sure what steps have been
performed yet, I'm going to go through the entire setup.  No condescension
is intended here. I'm assuming that you have the BlueTooth turned on on your
6620 and that both units are within 20 feet of one another. I also have the
Talks software for my Nokia.  If you don't have this software, you might
need sighted assistance for the pairing process.

Scanning and pairing: The devices need to be paired.  This process prevents
unauthorized persons from accessing your cell phone's modem and other
capabilities.  Once the pairing process has been done, you shouldn't have to
repair (Pardon the pun ) them again, but if a full reset is done on the
MPower, repairing will be necessary. On your MPower, go to the options menu
by pressing function with O, press C for connectivity and B for BlueTooth.
The MPower should respond by telling you whether or not BlueTooth is
currently turned off or ON.  If "Off", then press Y to turn it on.  The
MPower will then offer to scan for new BlueTooth devices.  Press Y to allow
it to scan if you haven't done this step already.  If you've already done
this step, then press the down arrow to hear "List of devices" and press
ENTER. Move up and down the list until you hear the name of your cell phone
and press ENTER. You will be presented with a list of your phone's available
BlueTooth functions.  Use the up and down arrows until you hear MODEM. Press
ENTER and the MPower will offer to pair and activate the connection. Press
ENTER. The MPower will then prompt for a pairing code. Type in a 4 digit
numeric code and press ENTER.  You should hear your cell phone beep and if
you have the Talks software installed, you'll hear something like "BlueTooth
Text". Sorry, that one is not very clear, blame the talks software folks.
Type in the same 4 digit code on your cell phone and press the left soft key
or just press in on the joystick. The cell phone should beep again (I think)
and you should hear the MPower say something as well acknowledging the
pairing. At this point, the modem connection is now active.

If you've already done the paring step, you can activate the MPower to cell
phone BlueTooth connection by pressing the function key with O for options
and then pressing C for connectivity.  Press B for BlueTooth and make sure
BlueTooth is turned on. When the MPower offers to scan for BlueTooth
devices, press N.  The MPower will then say "List of BlueTooth devices". Use
the up and down arrow keys to find your cell phone and press ENTER.  Then
use the up and down arrow keys to find MODEM. If you don't hear the word
"Active" after modem, press ENTER and then A to activate the connection.
After all of this, you can press escape to back out to what ever function
you were doing or to the main menu.

Here's a little extra time saver if your using the Nokia 66xx family of cell
phones.  On your cell phone, go into the menus and find the BlueTooth
section. When you're at the point where the phone is showing "BlueTooth ON",
use the joystick to go to the right.  You'll see a list of devices that the
cell phone is currently paired with. Use the joy stick to go down the list
until the MPower (I think it still says VoiceNote) is selected. Press the
left soft key to get into the options menu for that device.  Use the joy
stick to go down the list until you hear or see "Set as authorized".  Press
the left function key or in on the joy stick and you won't have to give
permission on your cell each time you want to  make a modem call with the
MPower. This is real handy when you want to check your email while traveling
and the phone is on your belt or packed away in a back pack or purse.

Configuring the communications options: I have a separate communications
configuration for my BlueTooth calls.  I'm not going to go through the
process for creating a new communications connection unless you need me to.
You've probably done this kind of thing already. Suffice it to say that the
BlueTooth connection is VERY!! similar to creating a dial-up connection.
The crucial differences between using BlueTooth and dial-up connections are:
When selecting "Device to use", scroll through the list of devices until you
hear a number (Usually 12 digits).  This is the MAC address of your paired
cell phone.  If you don't hear this number in the list of devices , the
phone is not paired with your MPower. Also, change "Wait for dial tone" to
No.  Cell phones don't use dial tones. All the other options should be the
same as a dial-up type of connection.

Making a BlueTooth modem call: This part is easy and just like making a
dial-up call. From the main menu, press E for email and C to select connect
to a service. Scroll down the list of possible connections until you hear
the communications configuration you created for your BlueTooth connection
with your cell phone. Press ENTER and then select the email service you want
to connect with. Press ENTER and if all is well (Your phone is turned on
with BlueTooth enabled, BlueTooth is on on the MPower and the gods are
smiling on you), you should hear "Dialing" from the MPower. Remember that if
you haven't set the Cell to automatically authorize connections from the
MPower, you'll have to permit the call on your cell by pressing the left
soft key on the cell phone.   After a few seconds, you should hear
"Connected" followed by "Logging on" followed by a second "Connected", and
the email checking process should begin.

Some extra thoughts: When BlueTooth is turned on, it does add a noticeable
extra drain on the MPower's and cell phone's  battery. So, if you're not
going to be using it for a while, turn off the BlueTooth function on both
the MPower and the Cell phone.  When you turn them on again, the paring
should have remained so you won't have to go through that mess again. Also,
many cell phone companies offer a data service called GPRS. In most cases,
when you use this service you don't use regular minutes from your plan. It
usually costs a bit extra but if you use the data service a lot with your
MPower, you might find it worth it.  I use T-Mobile and the service costs me
about $20 extra per month. I do notice that it gives me MUCH!! faster
connectivity when making a data call. Another nice feature is that I have
UNLIMITED minutes while making data calls.

You should really enjoy having your MPower BlueTooth connected to your cell.
I love to check my email while riding on the bus to school each day and on
long car trips. I hope this has helped and If you need any clarifications,
please don't hesitate to ask.
