Your device
Model number:N79-5
For more information on your device, such as
antenna locations, display indicators, and

product support pages of the Nokia website.
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
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. 23.
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.
12
English
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.

widgets appear as separate applications in the
Applications folder.
You can download widgets using the Download!
application or from the web.
The default access point for widgets is the same as

information about data transmission charges.
Empty the cache
The information or services you have accessed are
stored in the cache memory of the device.
A cache is a memory location that is used to store

device and the internet gateway or server is
encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data
transmission between the gateway and the content
server (or the place where the requested resource
is stored) is secure. The service provider secures the
data transmission between the gateway and the
content server.
Security certificates may be required for some
services, such as banking services. You are notified
if the identity of the server is not authentic or if you
17
English
do not have the correct security certificate in your
device. For more information, contact your service
provider.

English
Connections
At Nokia, we understand how important it is that
your mobile phone or device operates reliably and
that your personal content is saved safely.
Any information from an unknown or unreliable
source, via Bluetooth connectivity, multimedia
message, or cable, may harm your PC, mobile
phone, or device. You may protect your mobile
phone or device from damage and keep it secured
by following simple measures:
● Always keep Bluetooth connectivity closed
unless you want your phone or device to be
visible to others.
● Always be alert when receiving information from
an unknown or untrustworthy source.
● Do not download or install any applications that
may include software harmful to your phone or
device.
● Always download and install applications or
content from trusted or well-known sources,
such as Nokia Software Market, where good
protection is provided against viruses and other
harmful software.
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
For more information on different connection
methods, such as Bluetooth and Data cable, see the
extended user guide on the product support pages
of the Nokia website.
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network
(WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to
the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN.
For more information on WLAN access points and
operating modes, see the extended user guide on
the product support pages of the Nokia website.
About WLAN
Your device can detect and connect to WLANs. Using
a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet
and compatible devices that support WLAN.
To use a WLAN connection, you need the following:
● WLAN must be available in your location.
● Your device must be connected to the WLAN.
Some WLANs are protected, and you need an
access key from the service provider to connect
to them.
19
English
● An internet access point created for WLAN. Use
the access point for applications that need to
connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a WLAN internet access
point. The active WLAN connection ends when you
end the data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data is active. You can only be connected to one
WLAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same access point.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run
in the background while using other features,
increase the demand on battery power and reduce
the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi protected
access (WPA/WPA2), and 802.1x authentication
methods. These functions can be used only if they

About Bluetooth connectivity
You can make a wireless connection to other
combatible devices, such as mobile phones,
computers, headsets, and car kits, with Bluetooth
connectivity.
You can use the connection to send images, video
clips, music and sound clips, and notes, transfer files
from your compatible PC, and print images with a
compatible printer.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology
communicate using radio waves, they do not need
to be in direct line-of-sight. However, they must be
within 10 metres (33 feet) of each other, although
the connection may be subject to interference from
obstructions such as walls or from other electronic
devices.
This device is compliant with Bluetooth
Specification 2.0 supporting the following profiles:
Generic Audio/Video Distribution Profile, Advanced
Audio Distribution Profile, Audio/Video Remote
Control Profile, Basic Imaging Profile, Basic Printing
Profile, Dial-up Networking Profile, File Transfer
Profile, Hands-Free Profile, Headset Profile, Human
Interface Device Profile, Object Push Profile, SIM
Access Profile, Synchronization Profile, Serial Port
Profile, and Phonebook Access Profile. To ensure
interoperability between other devices supporting
Bluetooth technology, use Nokia approved
enhancements for this model. Check with the
manufacturers of other devices to determine their
compatibility with this device.
Features using Bluetooth technology increase the
demand on battery power and reduce the battery
life.
When the device is locked, you cannot use Bluetooth
connectivity.

To pair with compatible devices and view your
paired devices, in the main view of Bluetooth
connectivity, scroll right.
Before pairing, create your own passcode (1 to 16
