performance. You may be able to request these
updates through the Nokia Software Updater PC
application. Software updates may not be available
for all products or their variants. Not all operators
may endorse the latest software versions available.
To update the device software, you need the Nokia
Software Updater application and a compatible PC
20
with Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista
operating system, broadband internet access, and
a compatible data cable to connect your device to
the PC.
Warning: If you install a software update,
you cannot use the device, even to make emergency
calls, until the installation is completed and the
device is restarted. Be sure to back up data before
accepting installation of an update.
Th e size of a so ftware updat e is approx imate ly 5-10
MB using your device and 100 MB using a PC.
The download and installation may take up to 20
minutes with Device manager and up to 30 minutes
with Nokia Software Updater.
To get more information and to download the Nokia
Software Updater application, visit www.nokiaasia.com/softwareupdate or your local Nokia
website.
If software updates over the air are supported by
your network, you may also be able to request
updates through the device.
Your device may be able to periodically check for
new software updates with Nokia Software

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. 176.
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

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:
● 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.
● Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or
allowing such features to run in the background
while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power. WLAN on your Nokia device
switches off when you are not trying to connect,
not connected to an access point, or not scanning
for available networks. To further reduce battery
consumption, you can specify that your device
does not scan, or scans less often, for available
networks in the background.

● The Maps application downloads new map
information when you scroll to new areas on the
map, which increases the demand on battery
power. You can prevent the automatic download

● If the signal strength of the cellular network
varies much in your area, your device must scan

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.

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

See "Pair
Content is transferred from the memory of the other
device to the corresponding location in your Nokia
N79. The transfer time depends on the amount of
data to be transferred.
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.
to retrieve content from the other device to your
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.
to send content from your Nokia N79 to your
other device
If Switch cannot send an item, depending on the
type of the other device, you can add the item to the
Your device
Nokia folder to C:\Nokia or E:\Nokia i n yo ur Nok ia
N79. When you select the folder to transfer, the
items are synchronised in the corresponding folder
in the other device, and vice versa.
Use shortcuts to repeat a transfer
After a data transfer, you can save a shortcut with
the transfer settings to the main view to repeat the
same transfer later.
To edit the shortcut, scroll to it, and select
Options > Shortcut settings. You can, for
example, create or change the name of the shortcut.
A transfer log is shown after every transfer. To view
the log of the last transfer, scroll to a shortcut in the
main view, and select Options > View log.
Handle transfer conflicts
If an item to be transferred has been edited in both
devices, the device attempts to merge the changes
automatically. If this is not possible, there is a
transfer conflict. Select Check one by one, Priority
to this phone, or Priority to other phone to solve
the conflict. For further instructions, select
Options > Help.
