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 of
18
the SIM card and is supported by UMTS mobile
phones.
● PIN2 code — This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied
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. 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.
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.
See "Wireless LAN", p. 37. When Scan
You can prevent the automatic download of new
maps.
See "Maps", p. 54.
● 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 the light sensor that
observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display
brightness. Press
Settings > General > Personalisation >
Display and Light time-out or Brightness.
● Leaving applications running in the background
increases the demand on battery power. To close
the applications you do not use, press and hold
, scroll to an application in the list, and press C.
Pressing C does not close Music player. To close Music
player, select it from the list and Options > Exit.

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.
