Your Nokia N90

Model number: Nokia N90-1 Hereinafter referred to as Nokia N90.

Modes

Your device has four mechanical modes that support different use situations: Fold closed, Fold open for using the device, Imaging for recording video and taking pictures, and Camera for taking pictures. To switch between the modes, turn the fold and the swing axis camera. There is a short time­out before a mode is activated.

Fold open mode

When you open the fold, the Fold open mode is activated automatically: the main display lights up, the keypad is available, and you can access the menu. You can scroll in the menu with the scroll key or the joystick.
The Fold open mode is activated even if the fold is not fully opened. The fold opens close to 150 degrees, as shown in the picture. Do not force the fold to open more.

Fold closed mode

When the fold is closed, the main display is deactivated and the cover display lights up. Ongoing calls are ended, unless the loudspeaker is in use or a headset is connected. If you are using the player to listen to a sound clip, it continues to play.
In the Fold closed mode, the cover display provides limited functions. On the standby mode display, the signal strength and battery indicators, operator logo, time information, status indicators, and the name of the currently active profile (if other than
General) may be shown. If you are listening to a sound
clip, volume bars and track information are displayed. If the keypad is not locked, you can use the power key, the
joystick, and the capture key (for enhanced voice commands). To select commands on the display, such as

message on the main display. Incoming calls are indicated by their normal tone and a
note. To answer a call and use the handset, open the fold. To answer a call and use the loudspeaker, select
Answer. If a headset is connected to the device, press the
answer key on the headset. To make calls or use the menu, open the fold.

Imaging mode

In the Imaging mode, you can record videos, take pictures, edit video clips and images, and send live video during a video call . See ‘Camera and Gallery’, p. 42 and ‘Video calls’, p. 29.
To activate the Imaging mode, open the fold up to 90 degrees, hold the device sideways, and turn the fold up so that the main display faces you. The camera starts, and you can see the view to be captured. You can also turn the swing axis camera. In the Imaging mode, the camera unit turns 180 degrees counterclockwise and close to 135 degrees clockwise. Do not force the camera unit to turn more.
In the Imaging mode, the keypad is not active. You can use the capture key, joystick, power key, the upper and lower selection keys next to the main display, and to end an active call.
Warning: You cannot make emergency calls in the Imaging mode, because the keypad is not active. To make an emergency call, activate the Fold open mode.

Voice dialling

The voice tag for a contact is the name or nickname that is saved on the contact card. To listen to the synthesised voice tag, open a contact card, and select Options > Play
voice tag.
