can give you instructions and explain what charges will
apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect
how you can use network services. For instance, some
networks may not support all language-dependent
characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain
features be disabled or not activated in your device. If so,
these features will not appear on your device menu. Your
device may also have a special configuration such as

Transfer content
You can use the Switch application to copy content
such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items,
and images from your previous Nokia device to your
Nokia N79 using Bluetooth connectivity.
The type of content that can be transferred depends on
the model of the device from which you want to
transfer content. If that device supports
synchronisation, you can also synchronise data
between the devices. Your Nokia N79 notifies you if the
other device is not compatible.
If the other device cannot be switched on without a
SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When your
Nokia N79 is switched on without a SIM card, the offline
profile is automatically activated, and transfer can be
done.
Transfer content for the first time
1. To retrieve data from the other device for the first
time, on your Nokia N79, select Switch in the
Welcome application, or press
Tools > Utilities > Switch.
2. Select the connection type you want to use to
transfer the data. Both devices must support the
selected connection type.
3. If you select Bluetooth, connect the two devices. To
have your device search for devices with Bluetooth
connectivity, select Continue. Select the device
from which you want to transfer content. You are
asked to enter a code on your Nokia N79. Enter a
code (1-16 digits), and select OK. Enter the same
code on the other device, and select OK. The devices
are now paired. See "Pair devices", p. 20.
Some earlier Nokia devices may not have the Switch
application. In this case, the Switch application is
sent to the other device as a message. To install the
Switch application on the other device, open the
message, and follow the instructions on the display.

others.
● Always be alert when receiving information from an
unknown or untrustworthy source.
● Do not download or install any applications that

Bluetooth connectivity
About Bluetooth connectivity
You can make a wireless connection to other
combatible devices, such as mobile phones,
computers, headsets, and car kits, with Bluetooth
connectivity.
You can use the connection to send images, video clips,
music and sound clips, and notes, transfer files from
your compatible PC, and print images with a
compatible printer.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology
communicate using radio waves, they do not need to
be in direct line-of-sight. However, they must be within
Connections
10 metres (33 feet) of each other, although the
connection may be subject to interference from
obstructions such as walls or from other electronic
devices.

Imaging Profile, Basic Printing Profile, Dial-up
Networking Profile, File Transfer Profile, Hands-Free
Profile, Headset Profile, Human Interface Device
Profile, Object Push Profile, SIM Access Profile,
Synchronization Profile, Serial Port Profile, and
Phonebook Access Profile. To ensure interoperability
between other devices supporting Bluetooth
technology, use Nokia approved enhancements for this
model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices
to determine their compatibility with this device.
Features using Bluetooth technology increase the
demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
