updates through the Nokia Software Updater PC
application. Software updates may not be available for
all products or their variants. All operators may not
endorse the latest software versions available.
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.nokiausa.com/softwareupdate in the United
States or www.nokia-latinoamerica.com/nsu in Latin
America.
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 provider
information. You may have settings from your service
providers already installed in your device, or you may
receive or request the settings from the network
service providers as a special message.
You can change the general settings in your device,
such as language, standby mode, display, and keypad
lock settings.
See "General settings", p. 155.
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
Page 21
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.

● The Maps application downloads new map
information when you scroll to new areas on the
map, which increases the demand on battery power.
Find help
You can prevent the automatic download of new
maps.
See "Maps", p. 92.
● 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 brightness of the
display. Press
General > Personalisation > Display and Light
time-out or Brightness.
● Leaving applications running 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.

About the camera
Your Nokia N96 has two cameras. The main, highresolution camera (up to 5 megapixels), is on the back
of the device. The secondary, lower resolution camera
is on the front. You can use both cameras to capture
images and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution of
2592x1944 pixels. The image resolution in this guide
may appear different.
The images and video clips are automatically saved in
Photos.
See "Photos", p. 72. The cameras produce
images in the JPEG format. Video clips are recorded in
the MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or
in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension
(sharing quality).
To free memory for new images and video clips,
transfer files to a compatible PC using a compatible USB
data cable, for example, and remove the files from your
device. The device informs you when the memory is
full. You can then free up memory in the current
storage or change the memory in use.
62
See "Video settings", p. 71.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using other
connection methods, such as Bluetooth connectivity or
a wireless LAN connection. You can also upload them
to a compatible online album.

several picture quality modes. Use the highest setting

quality requires more storage space. For multimedia

settings", p. 69.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in front
See "Still image camera
of a cluttered, complex background that may distract
attention from the subject. Move the camera, or the
subject, when these conditions cannot be met. Move
the camera closer to the object to take clearer portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth to
your pictures by placing objects in the foreground. If
the foreground object is too close to the camera, it may
be blurred.
Lighting conditions
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 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

Home network
About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) and certified by Digital Living 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.
"Wireless LAN", p. 109.
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 stored in your Nokia
N96 using a DLNA certified home stereo system,
controlling the playlists and volume levels directly from
your Nokia N96. You can also view images captured

The home network uses the security settings of the
WLAN connection. Use the home network feature in a
WLAN infrastructure network with a WLAN access point
device and encryption enabled.
You can share and synchronise media files in your
mobile device with other compatible UPnP devices
using the home network. To enable the home network
functionality and manage the settings, press
select Tools > Connectivity > Home media. You can
also use the home network to view, play, and copy
compatible media files to and from your mobile device.
See "View and share media files", p. 83.

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.
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
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
when your device is receiving signals from satellites.
Positioning (GPS)
87
Page 88
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
Positioning (GPS)
device to retrieve assistance da ta from th e No ki a A- GPS
service over a packet data connection. To define an
access point for A-GPS, press
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 select Tools >
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.
88
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
Page 89
● 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
data > Position > Options > Satellite status.
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.

Walk navigation differs from drive navigation in many
ways: The walking route ignores any possible
limitations to car navigation, such as one-way streets
and turn restrictions, and includes areas such as
pedestrian zones and parks. It also prioritises
walkways and smaller roads, and omits highways and
motorways. The length of a walking route is limited to
a maximum of 50 kilometres (31 miles) and the
travelling speed to a maximum of 30 km/h (18 miles/
h). If the speed limit is exceeded, navigation stops and
is resumed once the speed is back within limits.
Turn-by-turn navigation or voice guidance are not
available for Walk navigation. Instead, a big arrow
shows the route and a small arrow at the bottom of the
screen points directly to destination. Satellite view is
