Software updates
Nokia may produce software updates that may offer
new features, enhanced functions, or improved
performance. You may be able to request these
updates through the Nokia Software Updater PC
application. Software updates may not be available
for all products or their variants. All operators may

To update the device software, you need the Nokia
Software Updater application and a compatible PC
with the Microsoft Windows XP or Vista operating
system, broadband internet access, and a
compatible data cable to connect your device to the
PC.
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.
To get more information and to download the Nokia
Software Updater application, visit
www.nokia.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.
Tip: To check the software version in your
device, enter *#0000# in the standby mode.
Settings
Your device normally has MMS, GPRS, streaming, and
mobile internet settings automatically configured
in the device, based upon your network service

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.

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 N96 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 N96 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 N96 is switched on without a SIM card,
the offline profile is automatically activated, and
transfer can be done.

deleted in both. You cannot restore deleted items
with synchronisation.
to retrieve content from the other device to your
Nokia N96. With retrieval, content is transferred
from the other device to your Nokia N96. 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 N96 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 i n yo ur Nok ia
N96. When you select the folder to transfer, the
items are synchronised in the corresponding folder
in the other device, and vice versa.

Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest
setting to make sure that the camera produces the
best picture quality available. Note however, that
better picture quality requires more storage space.
For multimedia message (MMS) and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the smallest
picture quality mode optimised for MMS sending.
You can define the quality in the camera settings.
See "Still image camera settings", p. 72.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in
front of a cluttered, complex background that may
distract attention from the subject. Move the

Changing the source, amount, and direction of light
can change photographs dramatically. Here are
some typical lighting conditions:
● Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing
Camera
your subject in front of a strong light source. If
the light source is behind the subject or visible in
the display, the resulting picture may have weak
contrast, may be too dark, and may contain
unwanted light effects.
● Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic
effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too
much contrast.
● Light source in front of the subject. Harsh
sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their
eyes. The contrast may also be too high.
● Optimal lighting is found in situations where
there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for
example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on
a sunny day in the shadow of trees.

About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and

Home network
Alliance (DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN)
access point device or a WLAN router to create a
home network. Then you can connect compatible
UPnP devices that support WLAN to the network.
Compatible devices may be your mobile device, a
compatible PC, sound system, or television, or a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver connected
to a sound system or a television.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled
home devices to connect to the same home
network.
After setting up your home network you can share
photos, music, and video with your friends and
family at home. You are also able to store your
media to a media server or retrieve media files from
a compatible home server. You can play music

Positioning (GPS)
You can use applications such as Maps and GPS data
to find out your location, or measure distances and
coordinates. These applications require a GPS
connection.
Positioning (GPS)
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites
and their ground stations that monitor the
operation of the satellites. Your device has an
internal GPS receiver.
A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals
from the satellites and measures the travel time of
the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver
can calculate its location to the accuracy of metres.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees
and decimal degrees format using the international
WGS-84 coordinate system.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United
90
States government and is subject to change with
the United States Department of Defense civil GPS
policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite
geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals
may be affected by your location, buildings, natural
obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver
should only be used outdoors to allow reception of
GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on
location data from the GPS receiver and cellular
radio networks for positioning or navigation.
To enable or disable different positioning methods,
such as Bluetooth GPS, press
Settings > General > Positioning >
Positioning methods.
, and select Tools >
Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device also supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS).
A-GPS is a network service.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance
data over a packet data connection, which assists in
calculating the coordinates of your current location
Page 91
when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives
useful satellite information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the help of
assisted data, your device can obtain the GPS
position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS
service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings
are available. The assistance data is retrieved from
the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.
You must have an internet access point defined in
the device to retrieve assistance data from the
Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection.
To define an access point for A-GPS, press
select Tools > Settings > General >
Positioning > Positioning server > Access
point. A wireless LAN access point cannot be used
for this service. Only a packet data internet access
point can be used. Your device asks for the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.
, and
Hold your device correctly
The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device.
When using the receiver, make sure that you do not
cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a
GPS connection
may take from a
couple of
seconds to
several minutes.
Establishing a
GPS connection
in a vehicle may
take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device
battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the
battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS connection
If your device cannot find the satellite signal,
consider the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device.

● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
See "Hold your device

● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.
Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found,
and whether your device is receiving satellite
signals, press
Connectivity > GPS data > Position >
Options > Satellite status.
Positioning (GPS)
If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is shown in the
satellite info view. The
longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite
signal. When your device
has received enough data from the satellite signal
to calculate the coordinates of your location, the bar
turns black.
Initially your device must receive signals from at
least four satellites to be able to calculate the
coordinates of your location. When the initial
calculation has been made, it may be possible to
continue calculating the coordinates of your
location with three satellites. However, the
accuracy is generally better when more satellites
are found.

Position requests
You may receive a request from a network service
to receive your position information. Service
providers may offer information about local topics,
such as weather or traffic conditions, based on the
location of your device.
When you receive a position request, a message is
displayed showing the service that is making the
request. Select Accept to allow your position
information to be sent or Reject to deny the
request.
