PIN and PUK codes

If you forget any of the following access codes, contact your service provider.

● Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code

protects your SIM card against unauthorized 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.

● PIN2 code — This code (4-8 digits) is supplied with some

SIM cards, and is required to access some functions in your device.

● 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.

Where can I get settings for my device?

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 also use the Settings wizard application to define the settings.

See "Settings wizard," p. 18.

How can I transfer content from my old device?

You can use the Nokia Switch application to copy content such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items, and images from your previous Nokia device to your Nokia 6790 slide

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 6790 slide 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 synchronization, you can also synchronize data between the devices. Your Nokia 67 slide 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 6790 slide 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 6790 slide, select Switch in the Phone Setup ap

plication, or select

> Tools > Switch.

You are asked to enter a code on your Nokia 67 digits), and select OK. Enter the same code on the other device, and select OK. The devices are now paired.

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 Switch on the other device, open the message, and follow the instructions.

4. From your Nokia 6790 slide, 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 6790 slide. The length of the transfer time depends on the amount of data to be transferred.

If you attempt to send an e-mail message that exceeds the size limit of the e-mail server, the message is left in the Outbox folder, and the device attempts to resend it periodically. Sending an e-mail requires a data connection, and continuous attempts to resend the e-mail may increase your phone bill. In the Outbox folder, you can delete such a message, or move it to the Drafts folder.
