unauthorised use. The PIN code (4 to 8 digits) is
usually supplied with the SIM card. After three
consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the code
is blocked, and you need the PUK code to unblock
it.
● UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the
USIM card. The USIM card is an enhanced version
of the SIM card and is supported by UMTS mobile
phones.
● PIN2 code — This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied
with some SIM cards, and is required to access
some functions in your device.
● Lock code (also known as security code) — The
lock code helps you to protect your device
against unauthorised use. You can create and
change the code, and set the device to request
the code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe
place separate from your device. If you forget the
code and your device is locked, your device will
require service and additional charges may
apply. For more information, contact a Nokia Care
point or your device dealer.
● Personal unblocking key (PUK) code and PUK2
code — These codes (8 digits) are required to
change a blocked PIN code or PIN2 code,
respectively. If the codes are not supplied with
the SIM card, contact the operator whose SIM
card is in your device.
● UPUK code — This code (8 digits) is required to
change a blocked UPIN code. If the code is not
supplied with the USIM card, contact the operator
whose USIM card is in your device.

Connections
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
Connections
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network
(WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to
the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN.
About WLAN
To use WLAN, it must be available in the location,
and your device must be connected to the WLAN.
Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access
key from your service provider to connect to them.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run
in the background while using other features,
increase the demand on battery power and reduce
the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
40
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to
128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and
802.1x encryption methods. These functions can
be used only if they are supported by the
network.
WLAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access
point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet.
See "WLAN internet access points", p. 41.
Important: Always enable one of the
available encryption methods to increase the
security of your wireless LAN connection. Using
encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access
to your data.
A WLAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a WLAN internet access
point. The active WLAN connection ends when you
end the data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data is active. You can only be connected to one
Page 41
WLAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still
use WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with
any applicable safety requirements when
establishing and using a WLAN connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control
(MAC) address that identifies your device,
enter *#62209526# in the standby mode.
WLAN wizard
The WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a WLAN
and manage your WLAN connections.
The WLAN wizard shows the status of your WLAN
connections in the active standby mode. To view the
available options, scroll to the row showing the
status, and select it.
If the search finds WLANs, for example, WLAN
network found is displayed, to create an internet
access point (IAP) and start the web browser using
this IAP, select the status and Start Web
browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN network, you are asked
to enter the relevant passcodes. To connect to a
hidden network, you must enter the correct
network name (service set identifier, SSID). To
create a new access point for a hidden WLAN, select
New WLAN.
If you are connected to a WLAN, the IAP name is
displayed. To start the web browser using this IAP,
select the status and Continue Web browsing. To
end the connection in the WLAN, select the status
and Disconnect WLAN.
If WLAN scanning is off and you are not connected
to any WLAN, WLAN scanning off is displayed. To
set scanning on and search for available WLANs,
select the status and press the scroll key.
To start a search for available WLANs, select the
status and Search for WLAN. To set WLAN scanning

Operating modes
There are two operating modes in WLAN:
infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two
kinds of communication: wireless devices are

Positioning (GPS)
You can use applications such as Maps and GPS data
to find out your location, or measure distances and
coordinates. These applications require a GPS
connection.
Positioning (GPS)
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites
and their ground stations that monitor the
operation of the satellites. Your device has an
internal GPS receiver.
A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals
from the satellites and measures the travel time of
the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver
can calculate its location to the accuracy of metres.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees
and decimal degrees format using the international
WGS-84 coordinate system.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United
52
States government and is subject to change with
the United States Department of Defense civil GPS
policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite
geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals
may be affected by your location, buildings, natural
obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver
should only be used outdoors to allow reception of
GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on
location data from the GPS receiver and cellular
radio networks for positioning or navigation.
To enable or disable different positioning methods,
such as Bluetooth GPS, press
Settings > General > Positioning >
Positioning methods.
, and select Tools >
Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device also supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS).
A-GPS is a network service.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance
data over a packet data connection, which assists in
calculating the coordinates of your current location
Page 53
when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives
useful satellite information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the help of
assisted data, your device can obtain the GPS
position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS
service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings
are available. The assistance data is retrieved from
the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.
You must have an internet access point defined in
the device to retrieve assistance data from the
Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection.
To define an access point for A-GPS, press
select Tools > Settings > General >
Positioning > Positioning server > Access
point. A wireless LAN access point cannot be used
for this service. Only a packet data internet access
point can be used. Your device asks for the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.
, and
Hold your device correctly
The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device.
When using the receiver, make sure that you do not
cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a
couple of seconds to several minutes. Establishing
a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device
battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the
battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS connection
If your device cannot find the satellite signal,
consider the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.

prioritises walkways and smaller roads, and omits
highways and motorways. The length of a walking
route is limited to a maximum of 50 kilometres (31
miles) and the travelling speed to a maximum of 30
km/h (18 miles/h). If the speed limit is exceeded,
navigation stops and is resumed once the speed is
back within limits.
Turn-by-turn navigation or voice guidance are not
available for Walk navigation. Instead, a big arrow
shows the route and a small arrow at the bottom of
the screen points directly to destination. Satellite
view is only available for Walk navigation.

About the camera
Your Nokia N79 has two cameras. The main, highresolution camera, is on the back of the device. The
secondary, lower resolution camera is on the front.
You can use both cameras to capture images and
record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution
of 2592x1944 pixels. The image resolution in this
guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are saved in Photos.
See "Photos", p. 89. The produced images are in
the JPEG format. Video clips are recorded in the
MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or
in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension
(sharing quality).
To free memory for new images and video clips,
transfer files to a compatible PC using a compatible
USB data cable, for example, and remove the files
from your device. The device informs you when the
memory is full. You can then free up memory in the
current storage or change the memory in use.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
78
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using other

Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest
setting to make sure that the camera produces the
best picture quality available. Note however, that
better picture quality requires more storage space.
For multimedia message (MMS) and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the smallest
picture quality mode optimised for MMS sending.
You can define the quality in the camera settings.
See "Still image camera settings", p. 86.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in
front of a cluttered, complex background that may
distract attention from the subject. Move the
camera, or the subject, when these conditions
cannot be met. Move the camera closer to the object
to take clearer portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add
depth to your pictures by placing objects in the
Camera
83
Page 84
foreground. If the foreground object is too close to
the camera, it may be blurred.
Lighting conditions
Camera
Changing the source, amount, and direction of light
can change photographs dramatically. Here are
some typical lighting conditions:
● Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing
your subject in front of a strong light source. If
the light source is behind the subject or visible in
the display, the resulting picture may have weak
contrast, may be too dark, and may contain
unwanted light effects.
● Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic
effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too
much contrast.
● Light source in front of the subject. Harsh
sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their
eyes. The contrast may also be too high.
● Optimal lighting is found in situations where
there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for
example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on
a sunny day in the shadow of trees.
