your phone's homescreen or go to Device

manager(consult your user guide if

necessary)

2. How do I use my PC to update?

Note: Before updating, you might like to backup your phone's contents using Nokia PC Suite. These can be restored

once the update is complete.

3. How do I ensure that all my music and games will work after updating?

To ensure that DRM-protected content will work after the software update in the device, follow these steps:

o Use Nokia PC Suite to backup the device memory and use either Mass storage or Media player to transfer your

content. There are two memory locations in the device, the internal memory and hard disk drive/memory card.



o Note: Windows Media DRM protected content cannot be backed up and restored with this method but will have to be

resynchronized with the PC to work again. Depending on the content subscription, additional rights may have to be

retrieved from the content provider.

o You may have to refresh the music library after updating the device.

o Applications and games may need to be re-installed after using Nokia Software Updater.

4. Which update method should I use?

The table below is intended as a guide to help you decide which update method may be best for you. The table

assumes that both update methods are applicable, but please note that for technical and other operational reasons,

not all software updates are available by both update methods.

The software update packages and applications are provided by Nokia free of charge, but if you update using your

device, you may have to pay your mobile service provider for data transfer. Check with your service provider for

details.

5. What exactly am I updating?

Device software

Nokia device software is embedded in the memory of your device, and includes applications such as the calendar

and phonebook. This is similar to the operating system software on your PC. The update consists of new features,

applications, and performance improvements to the software. This is the same update you would receive at a Nokia

Care point, with the added advantage of convenience (as you can perform the update from any location with network

coverage or internet connection).

User data such as contacts, photos, messages, and add-on applications such as Java games or Symbian

applications are not part of the device software.

In some Nokia device models, when you update using t

he Nokia Software Updater, user data ± suc

has contacts andpictures ± will be deleted (the Nokia Software Updater will warn you if this is the case).

If you use your device to update its own software, user data is not deleted.

As with computers, cameras and other devices that contain important information, it is recommended that you make a

backup of your data before updating your Nokia device software to prevent any files being lost.

Note: Nokia strongly recommends that you keep your device software and applications up-to-date.

Note: Nokia device software cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you will not be able to

restore to the earlier version.



Note: Using your device or the Nokia Software Updater to update your device software will not invalidate your

warranty. Nokia¶s standard warranty terms and conditions apply.

Note: Nokia devices and Nokia device software cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you

will not be able to restore it to the earlier version.

Note: While updating your device, calls may be made and received while the software is being downloaded, but the

call will be terminated without warning when the update phase begins.

Updating your device software will not affect your Nokia device's network lock (also known as SIMlock) status.Applications

Some devices also include the ³Application Update´ or ³Software Update´ application, which will automatically check

for application updates for you.

Applications installed through ³Download!´ may also be updated by using the ³Download!´ application again.

Using your PC to update

o PC with 1GHz or higher Pentium-compatible processor

o Administration rights on the PC while installing

o High-speed internet connection

o Compatible Nokia device with SIM card (and charger if necessary ± the update will not start if there is insufficient

power in the battery)

website support Accessories section.Note: If prompted, use PC Suite, Normal or Nokia mode.

o Compatible USB port on your PC. Note: Please connect your USB cable directly to the PC ± do not use a USB Hub.

o A compatible device (see www.nokia.com/softwareupdate for the update methods available for your device)

Problems before updating

8. Why can¶t I get new software for my device?

Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device software version, country, and operator.

It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.

Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device

software available.

Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants

have the latest Nokia device software. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologize

for any delay.

New software may become available at a later date and to get a notification when new software is available for your

device, register withMy Nokia and subscribe to email or SMS notifications.

your device.
