Transferring data to your Nokia E61

Select Menu→ Tools→ Transfer.

You can transfer content from a compatible Nokia device to your Nokia E61 using Bluetooth connectivity or infrared. The type of content that can be transferred depends on the phone model. If the other device supports synchronization, you can also synchronize data between the other device and your Nokia E61. For more information on compatible devices, contact your dealer, operator, or service provider.

Using a Bluetooth or infrared connection, you can synchronize, for example, your calendar and contact entries between the two devices. The phone allows you to select the categories of data that you wish to move.

Because device models are designed differently, there may be differences in the way they handle data transfer. For example, your Nokia E61 allows you to enter a great deal of contact information for each contact. Another device

model may only allow a few details per contact. If you synchronize contact information between these two devices, some of the data may be transferred to an incorrect field, and some data may not be transferred at all.

Note: All changes made to a device since the previous synchronization are copied to the other device. This means that if you have deleted some information from a device, that information is also deleted from the other device during synchronization.

7 From your Nokia E61, select the content you want to

transfer from your other device by scrolling the list

Content is copied from the memory of the other device to the corresponding location in your device. Copying time depends on the amount of data to be transferred. You can also cancel and continue later. After the transfer is over, you can view Transfer log in the Data transfer menu.

The necessary steps for data transfer may vary depending on your device, and whether you have interrupted data transfer earlier. The items that you can transfer vary depending on the other device.
