provider.
Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code
protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The PIN
code (4 - 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 3G mobile phones.
PIN2 code — T his code (4 - 8 digit s) is suppli ed 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.
The preset code is 12345. 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. Additional charges may apply,
and all the personal data in your device may be deleted.
For more information, contact a Nokia Care point or your
device dealer.
Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2

blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes
are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the network
service provider 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 network service provider 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:
•Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Turn Bluetooth technology off when you do
not need it.
•If you have set Packet data connection to When
available in connection settings, and there is no
packet data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically
tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong
the operating time of your device, select Packet data
connection > When needed.
•If the signal strength of the cellular network varies
much in your area, your device must scan for the
available network repeatedly. This increases the
demand on battery power.
If the network mode is set to dual mode in the network
settings, the device searches for the 3G network. To
only use the GSM network, press
•The backlight of the display increases the demand on
battery power. In the display settings, you can change
the time-out after which the backlight is switched off,
and adjust the brightness of the display.

increases the demand on battery power. To close the
applications you do not use, press and hold

power save mode, press the power key, and select
Deactivate power saving. You may not be able to
change the settings of certain applications when the
power save mode is turned on.
Free memory
To view how much space is available for different data
types, select > Tools > File mgr..
Many features of the device use memory to store data. The
device notifies you if the memory in different memory
locations is low.
To free memory, transfer data to a compatible memory
card (if available) or to a compatible computer.
To remove data you no longer need, use File manager or
open the respective application. You can remove the
following:

•Installation files (.sis or .sisx) of applications you have
installed. Transfer the installation files to a compatible
computer.
•Images and video clips in Gallery. Back up the files to
a compatible computer.
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 6788i.
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
6788i 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
6788i is switched on without a SIM card, the Offline profile
is automatically activated, and transfer can be done.

application on the other device, open the message,
and follow the instructions on the display.
4 On your Nokia 6788i, 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
