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 changes in menu names, menu order, and icons.
Contact your service provider for more information.

Your device normally has MMS, GPRS, streaming, and
mobile internet settings automatically configured,
based on your network service provider
information. You may have settings from your
service providers already installed in your device, or
you may receive or request the settings from the
network service providers as a special message.
You can change the general settings in your device,
such as language, standby mode, display, and
keypad lock settings.
See "Settings", p. 161.
Access codes
If you forget any of the access codes, contact your
service provider.
● Personal identification number (PIN) code — This
code protects your SIM card against
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.

Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery life time.
To save battery power, note the following:

while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power. Turn Bluetooth technology off

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.

instructions on the display.
4. From your Nokia N79, select the content you
want to transfer from the other device.
When the transfer has started, you can cancel it
and continue later.
Content is transferred from the memory of the other
device to the corresponding location in your Nokia

Synchronise, retrieve, or send content
After the first transfer, select from the following to
start a new transfer, depending on the model of the
other device:
to synchronise content between your Nokia
N79 and the other device, if the other device
supports synchronisation. The synchronisation is
two-way. If an item is deleted in one device, it is
deleted in both. You cannot restore deleted items
with synchronisation.

Nokia N79. With retrieval, content is transferred
from the other device to your Nokia N79. You may
be asked to keep or delete the original content in
the other device, depending on the device model.
