Q. How do I download?
A. There are two ways to download files to your cell phone after purchasing from Electcollect.com. They are: using a USB cable, or with the Bluetooth file transfer on your cell phone.
How do I download using a USB?
The USB option differs from the Text Messaging and Mobile Site (WAP) options in that no file is downloaded directly to your cell phone. Instead, the ringtone or wallpaper is downloaded to your computer and then transferred to your cell phone, using a USB cable which comes standard with all cell phones. Follow these simple steps when using a USB:
# Click on your 'My Downloads' folder and select the file of your choice by clicking on the save option beside it. (If you have yet to add content to your 'My Downloads' folder, please see section 2 of the Download Options.
# A small screen will appear. Click on the Save option and your computer will prompt you to select the location where the file should be stored on your home computer.
# Connect the USB cable to your cell phone.
# Connect the USB cable to your computer. USB slots can be found in the back of your computer and also usually in the front.
# Click on 'My Computer'. You should see your cell phone icon on this page. Copy the desired file and then double click your cell phone icon.
# Paste the file in the appropriate folder. (Usually a ringtone or media folder) If it is a ringtone file, make sure to set it as your ringer when you test it.
# Activate your new ringtone.
*Most cell phones will come with their own software. If you have some software with your cell phone, please install it and transfer the desired file to this program instead of using the 'My Computer' option. Most of these programs are straight forward and easy to use.
How do I download using my Bluetooth?
Bluetooth, much like the USB, is ideal for phones who are unable or do not possess internet capabilities. Make sure that the Bluetooth is properly set up. You should find instructions for using your Bluetooth in the manual that came with your cell phone. Remember that the desired ringtone or wallpaper must be on your desktop for the Bluetooth option to work. If you have not downloaded files to your desktop, please see the beginning of the step by step guide in section 5 of the 'Downloading Options'.
# Open the Bluetooth manager on your cell phone and select 'New'.
# Press 'Connect' from the lower left menu.
# Select 'ActiveSync via Bluetooth'.
# Click 'Next' a couple times through screens telling you to prepare your PC.
# Then you will see the window where you can select your PC.
# Select 'click here to choose a device'.
# Select your home PC icon. (You should see a red or blue check mark on your PC icon)
# The wizard will now query your PC.
# You will now have an ActiveSync Icon in your Bluetooth My Shortcuts tab in the Bluetooth Manager.
# Now you can make the transfer of the desired files.
# After finishing, activate the ringtone as your ringer.
*You should also read the Bluetooth section of your cell phone user guide.
