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.

The size of a software update is approximately 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.nokia- asia.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 Checker. Press , and select Tools > SW checker.

Tip: To check the software version in your device, enter *#0000# in the standby mode.

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.

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.See "Wireless LAN", p. 43. When Scan for networks is set to Never, the WLAN availability icon is not shown in the standby mode. However, you can still manually scan for available WLAN networks and connect to WLAN networks as usual.

●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.

●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 of new maps. See "Maps", p. 63.

●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 UMTS network. To only use the GSM network, press , and select Tools > Settings >

Phone > Network > Network mode > GSM.

●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

Select from the following:

●Sett. wizard — to configure various settings, such as e-mail. For more information on the Settings wizard application, see the guides available at the Nokia product support pages or your local Nokia website.

●Switch — to transfer content, such as contacts and calendar entries, from a compatible Nokia device. See "Transfer content", p. 25.

Nokia Switch

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.

Transfer content for the first time

1.To retrieve data from the other device for the first time, on your Nokia N79, select Switch in

Your device

Your device
the Welcome application, or press			, and
select Tools	>	Utilities > Switch.

2.Select the connection type you want to use to transfer the data. Both devices must support the selected connection type.

3.If you select Bluetooth, connect the two devices. To have your device search for devices with Bluetooth connectivity, select Continue. Select the device from which you want to transfer content. You are asked to enter a code on your Nokia N79. Enter a code (1-16 digits), and select OK. Enter the same code on the other device, and select OK. The devices are now paired. See "Pair devices", p. 48.

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.

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

Nokia folder to C:\Nokia or E:\Nokia in your Nokia 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.
