functionality could affect performance and operation or
cause the device to stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible memory card,
installation files (.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory. The
files may use large amounts of memory and prevent you fromstoring other files. To maintain sufficient memory, use Nokia
Ovi Suite to back up installation files to a compatible PC, then
use the file manager to remove the installation files from the
device memory. If the .sis file is a message attachment, delete
the message from the Messaging inbox.

application using the menu key. Press and hold the menu key
to open the application, and select Options > Exit.
Q: Why do images look smudgy?A: Ensure that the camera lens protection windows are clean.

on the screen every time I switch on my device?A: This is a characteristic of this type of display. Some displays
may contain pixels or dots that remain on or off. This is
normal, not a fault.
Q: Why cant my Nokia device establish a GPS
connection?A: Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of
seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
a vehicle may take longer. 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. Some vehicles have
tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite
signals.Q: Why can’t I find my friend’s device while using
Bluetooth connectivity?
A: Check that both devices are compatible, have activated
Bluetooth connectivity, and are not in hidden mode. Check
also that the distance between the two devices is not over 10
metres (33 feet) and that there are no walls or other
obstructions between the devices.
Q: Why can’t I end a Bluetooth connection?A: If another device is connected to your device, you can close
the connection from the other device or deactivate Bluetooth
connectivity in your device. Select Menu > Settings and
Connectivity > Bluetooth > Bluetooth > Off.
Q: Why cant I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
even though I know Im within its range?A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set
identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a
hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID, and have created a
WLAN internet access point for the network on your Nokia
device.
Q: How do I turn the wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia
device?A: The WLAN on your Nokia device is deactivated when you
are not connected or trying to connect to another access

making a data connection, select Menu > Messaging and
Options >  Settings >  Multimedia message >  Multimedia
retrieval. Select Manual to have the multimedia messaging
centre save messages to be retrieved later, or Off to ignore

Many features in your device increase the demand on battery
power and reduce the battery lifetime. 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.
Deactivate Bluetooth technology 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 deactivates 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.
•If you have set Packet data connection to When
available in connection settings, and there is no packet
data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically tries to
establish a packet data connection. To prolong the
operating time of your device, select Packet data
connection > When needed.
•The Maps application downloads new map information
when you scroll to new areas on the map, whichincreases the demand on battery power. You can prevent
the automatic download of new maps.
•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 3G network. You can
set the device to use only the GSM network. To use only
the GSM network, select Menu > Settings and
Connectivity > Network > Network mode > GSM.
•The backlight of the display increases the demand on
battery power. In the display settings, you can change
the length of the time-out period after which the
backlight is switched off. Select Menu > Settings and
Phone > Display > Light time-out. To adjust the light
sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the
display brightness, in the display settings, select Light
sensor.
