Your Nokia N91

Model number: Nokia N91-1

Hereinafter referred to as Nokia N91.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Nokia N91. Your device combines stereo sound, storage capacity for up to 3000 songs, over-the-air music downloads, access to your music collection and smartphone functionality with Wi-Fi and 2Mpix camera.

Hard drive

Your device is equipped with a 4 Gb hard drive providing high capacity of storage room for different kind of files. Sensors in the device will stop the hard drive if the operating temperature is too low or too high, if the device is dropped, or if the back cover of the device is removed. Hard drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. All impacts caused by shock, vibration, bumping, and dropping or other mishandling of the device, as well as extreme temperatures, humidity and liquids, may cause the hard drive to malfunction and data to be lost or corrupted.

Do not remove the back cover when the device is switched on.

View memory consumption

Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power and reduces the battery life. Press and hold to activate open applications and press

Options > Exitto quit an application.

To view what types of data you have in the device and how much memory the different data types consume, press

, and select Tools > Hard drive. Scroll down to Free

memory to view the amount of free memory in the device.

Memory low—free memory

The device notifies you if the memory is getting low. If the device memory starts to get low when your browser is open, then the browser is closed automatically to free some memory space.

To free device memory, transfer data to the hard drive in

File mgr.. Mark files to be moved, select Options > Move to folder > Hard drive, and select a folder.

Tip! To free memory from the device, use Image Store

available in Nokia PC Suite to transfer sound files, images, and video clips to a compatible PC. See the CD-ROM supplied in the sales package.

Your Nokia N91

To remove data to free memory, use File mgr., or go to the respective application. For example, you can remove the following:

• Messages from Inbox, Drafts, and Sent folders in

Messag.

• Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory

• Saved Web pages

• Saved images, videos, or sound files

Your Nokia N91

• Contact information

•Calendar notes

• Downloaded applications. See also ‘Application manager’, p. 107.

• Any other data that you no longer need

Wireless LAN

Your device is approved for use in a wireless local area network (wireless LAN). With wireless LAN, you can connect your device to the Internet.

Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information.

Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features 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 wireless LAN features:

• IEEE 802.11g standard

• Operation at a frequency of 2.4 GHz

• Encryption methods wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x. These functions can be used only if they are supported by the network.

You can create an Internet access point (IAP) in a wireless LAN and use it for applications that need to connect to the Internet.

Create an Internet access point

1 Press , and select Connect. > Conn mgr > Availab.

WLAN.

2 The device searches for wireless LANs within range. To

create an Internet access point in a network, select

Options > Define access point.

3 The device creates an Internet access point with default

settings. To view or change the settings of the Internet access point, see ‘Access points’, p. 99.

When an application asks you to select an access point, select the created access point, or WLAN network, to search for wireless LANs in range.

A wireless LAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you end the data connection. To end the connection, see ‘Connection manager’, p. 90.

You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be connected to one wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.

When you activate the Offline profile, you can still use wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a wireless LAN connection.

There are two operating modes in wireless LAN:

Infrastructure and Ad-hoc.

The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication: wireless devices are connected to each other through a wireless LAN access point device, or wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through a wireless LAN access point device.

In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive data directly with each other. To create an Internet access point for the ad hoc network, see ‘Access points’, p. 99.

Tip! To check the unique Media Access Control (MAC)

address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the standby mode.

About encoded audio

Applications like Windows Media Player and Nokia Audio Manager encode audio files with codecs like WMA or MP3 to save storage space. The encoding is done by removing those parts of the audio signal that are not audible or only barely audible by human ear.

Regardless of the encoder and codec quality, the sound quality of the resulting file is not as good as the original.

The basic codecs supported by this device are AAC, WMA, and MP3. All of these have different variations.

Bitrates

When encoding audio, the quality of the resulting sound depends on the sample rate and bit rate used for the encoding. Sample rate is expressed as thousands of samples per second (kHz), and for CD music the sample ra te is fixe d at 4 4.1 kH z. Bi t rat e is ex pre ssed a s kil obit s per second (Kbps). The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality.

The required quality level may depend on your demands, the headphones used, and the surrounding noise. For MP3s a bitrate between 128 and 192 Kbps usually gives results good enough for listening to pop music with your device. WMA or AAC generally gives a similar result as MP3 with one step lower bitrate (96-160 Kbps). Variations of AAC, such as AAC+ and enhanced AAC+ (eAAC+) provide CD quality audio at bitrates as low as 48 Kbps. Classical music and music with nuances usually require a higher bitrate than basic pop music.

For speech or other sources where the quality of the sound is less important than saving storage space, you can use bitrates between 8 and 64 Kbps. At low bitrates WMA or AAC generally gives better results than MP3.

Variable bitrate

Your device also supports variable bitrate (VBR). Variable bitrate means that the bit rate of the encoding varies with the complexity of the encoded material. When using VBR, the encoding is optimized to preserve a constant audio quality throughout the track, rather than losing quality for complex music sections as with constant bitrate (CBR) encoding.
