1. How do I use the camera on my Nokia phone?

You can use the camera to take pictures and record videos while on the move. The images are automatically saved in Gallery, where you can rename them and organize them in folders. You can also send images and video recordings in a multimedia message, as an e-mail attachment, or by Bluetooth connection. The camera produces Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images, and video clips are recorded in the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) file format with the .3gp file extension. 


Take pictures

  1. Select Camera in the standby mode, or select Menu > Camera, and scroll left to make sure you are on the Image tab. 
    • The camera opens, and you can see the viewfinder and the cropping lines, which show you the image area to be captured. You can also see the image counter, which shows you how many images, depending on the selected picture quality, fit in the memory of your phone or MultiMediaCard ( MMC), if you use one. 
    • Options before taking a picture are: Capture, New, Activate night mode or Deact. night mode, Self-timer, Go to Gallery, Settings, Help, and Exit. 
  2. Scroll up to zoom in on your subject before taking the picture; scroll down to zoom out again. The zoom indicator to the right of the display shows the zoom level. 
  3. To take a picture, press the Scroll key. 


Do not move the phone before the camera application starts to save the image. The image is saved automatically in Gallery. 


The resolution of a zoomed picture is lower than that of a non-zoomed picture, but the image remains the same size. You may notice the difference in image quality if viewed on a Personal Computer (PC), for example. If camera images look smudgy, check that the camera lens protection window is clean. 


The camera goes into battery saving mode if there have been no key presses within a minute. To continue taking pictures, press the Scroll key.


Option after capturing an image


Options after a picture has been taken are: 

  • New
  • Delete
  • Send
  • Set as wallpaper
  • Rename image
  • Go to Gallery
  • Settings
  • Help
  • Exit


If you do not want to save the image, select Options > Delete.

Options in Voice commands are: 


Add voice command

  • Open
  • New application
  • Playback
  • Change
  • Delete
  • Delete all
  • Help
  • Exit


You can use voice commands to start applications and profiles, and to dial numbers from Contacts, without having to look at the phone display. You record a word, or words, (voice command) and then say this voice command to open an application, activate a profile, or dial a number.


You can have only one voice command per item. Any spoken words can be a voice command.


When recording, hold the phone at a short distance away from your mouth. After the starting tone, say clearly the word, or words, you want to record as a voice command.


Voice commands have the same requirements as voice tags.

Before recording a voice command


Note: You must say the voice command exactly as you said it when you recorded it. This may be difficult in, for example, a noisy environment or during an emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice commands in all circumstances.


Add a voice command to an application

  1. In Voice commands, scroll to the application to which you are adding a voice command, and select Options > Add voice command. To add a voice command to a profile, you must have the Profiles folder open and a specific profile selected.

    "Press 'Start', then speak after tone" is displayed.

     
  2. Press Start to record a voice command.

    The phone sounds a starting tone, and the note "Speak now" is displayed.

     
  3. Say the voice command.


The phone will stop recording after approximately 5 seconds. After recording, the phone plays the recorded command. "Voice command saved" is displayed, and a beep sounds. A voice command symbol can be seen next to the application. If you do not want to save the recording, press Quit before the recording stops.


Add an application to the list


You can assign voice commands to other applications that are not listed in the Voice commands main view.

  1. In the Voice commands main view, select Options > New application.
    • Available applications are displayed.
  2. Scroll to the application that you want to add, and press Select.
  3. Add a voice command to the new application. 


Use a voice command to start an application

  1. In the standby mode, press and hold the Right selection key.


    A short tone is played, and "Speak now" is displayed.

  2. When you start an application by saying a voice command, hold the phone a short distance from your mouth, and say the voice command clearly.


    The phone plays the original voice command and starts the application.

  3.  If the phone plays the wrong voice command, press Retry.


Replay, erase, or change a voice command


To replay, erase, or change a voice command, scroll to the item that has a voice command, and select Options and one of the following:

  • Playback - Listen to the voice command again.
  • Delete - Erase the voice command.
  • Change - Record a new voice command. Press Start to record.

7. How do I change the security settings on my Nokia phone?

Menu > Tools > Settings > Security > Phone and SIM

If your phone requests a security code, refer to the following explanations to determine what you should enter. If you forget or lose a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code or if you have not received such a code, contact your service provider.


You can change the following codes: lock code, PIN code, and Personal Identification Number 2 (PIN2) code. These codes can only include the numbers from 0 to 9.


The PUK code is required to change a blocked PIN code. The Personal Unblocking Key 2 (PUK2) code is required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact your service provider for the codes. The PUK and PUK2 codes are 8 digits long.


Avoid using security codes similar to emergency numbers, such as 911, to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.

  • PIN code request - When the PIN code request is active, the code is requested each time the phone is switched on. Note that deactivating the PIN code request may not be allowed by some Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards.
  • PIN code (4 to 8 digits) - The PIN code protects your SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card.
    • After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked. If the PIN code is blocked, you need to unblock the PIN code before you can use the SIM card again.
  • PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits) - The PIN2 code is supplied with some SIM cards and is required to access some functions, such as fixed dialing numbers.
  • Autolock period - You can set an autolock period, a time-out after which the phone is automatically locked and can be used only if the correct lock code is entered. Key in a number for the time-out in minutes, or select " None" to turn off the autolock period. To unlock the phone, key in the lock code.


When the phone is locked, calls may still be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your phone.

  • Lock code (5 digits) - The lock code can be used to lock the phone and keypad to avoid unauthorized use. The factory setting for the lock code is 12345. To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, change the lock code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate from your phone. If you forget or lose the lock code, contact your service provider.
  • Lock if SIM changed - Select " Yes" if you want the phone to prompt for the lock code when an unknown, new SIM card is inserted into your phone. The phone maintains a list of SIM cards that are recognized as the owner's cards.
  • Fixed dialing - You can restrict your outgoing calls to selected phone numbers, if supported by your SIM card. You need the PIN2 code for this function. When this function is active, you can only call those phone numbers that are included in the fixed dialing list or which begin with the same digits as a phone number on the list.
    • Press the Scroll key to set fixed dialing on. When fixed dialing is activated, calls still may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your phone. To add new numbers to the fixed dialing list, select Options >New contact or Add from Contacts. 
    • Options in fixed dialing are: 
      • Open
      • Call
      • Activ. fixed dialing or Deact. fixed dialing
      • New contact
      • Edit
      • Delete
      • Add to Contacts
      • Add from Contacts
      • Find
      • Mark/Unmark
      • Help
      • Exit
  • Closed user group (network service) - You can specify a group of people whom you can call and who can call you. For more information, contact your service provider. Select one of the following:
    • Default - Activate the default group agreed on with your service provider.
    • On - Use another group (you need to know the group index number).
    • Off - Do not use closed user groups.


When calls are limited to closed user groups, calls still may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your phone.

  • Confirm SIM services (network service) - Sets the phone to display confirmation messages when you are using a SIM card service.
  • Restore server - Reset your connection settings allowing you to receive new settings from your service provider.

8. How do I download an application to my Nokia phone?

You can install applications that are specifically intended for this phone and suitable for the Symbian operating system. If you install an application that is not intended specifically for this phone, it may function and look different from what was originally intended.


Applications may be downloaded to your phone during browsing, received as attachments in multimedia messages or e-mails, or received by Bluetooth connection from another device, for example, a phone or a compatible Personal Computer (PC).


Important: Only install applications from sources that offer adequate protection against harmful software.


To increase protection, the application installation system uses digital signatures and certificates for applications. Do not install the application if App. manager gives a security warning during installation.


If you install an update or repair to an existing application, the original application is removed and the update or repair takes its place. You must have the original application or a full backup copy of it in order to restore it after it has been removed. To restore the original application, first remove the updated or repaired application, and then install again from the original application or the backup copy.


During installation, the phone checks the integrity of the application to be installed. The phone shows information about the checks being carried out, and you are given options on whether to continue or cancel the installation. Once the phone has checked the integrity of the application, it is installed on your phone.


Install applications


Open App. manager, scroll to the application, and select Options > Install to start the installation.


You can also search the phone memory or the MulitiMediaCard, select the application, and press the Scroll key to start the installation.


Some applications may give the option of partial installation, allowing you to select the particular components of an application that you want to install. If you are installing an application without a digital signature or a certificate, the phone warns you of the risks. Continue installation only if you are absolutely sure of the origin and contents of the application.


Install Java applications


The .JAR file is required for installation. If it is missing, the phone may ask you to download it. If there is no access point defined for App. manager, you will be asked to select one. When you are downloading the .JAR file, you may need to enter a user name and password to access the server. You obtain these from the supplier or manufacturer of the application.

  • To start a data connection and to view extra information about the application, scroll to it and select Options > Go to web address.
  • To start a data connection and check if there is an update available for the application, scroll to it and select Options > Update.


Java settings


To change the default access point that a Java application uses for downloading extra data, select Options > Settings > Access point. 


To change the security settings that determine the actions that a Java application is permitted to do, select Options > Settings. Not all Java applications permit you to change the security settings.


Remove an application

  • Scroll to the application and select Options > Remove.
  • Press Yes to confirm the removal.


If you remove an application, you can only reinstall it if you have the original application or a full backup of the removed application. If you remove an application, you may no longer be able to open documents created with that application. If another application depends on the application that you removed, the other application may stop working. Refer to the documentation of the installed application for details.

9. How do I use call restrictions on my Nokia phone?

Select Menu > Settings > Call restriction.


Call restriction allows you to restrict outgoing and incoming calls with your phone. For this function, you need the restriction password, which you can obtain from your service provider.


Select Options, and choose one of the following:

  • Activate - Request the network to set call restriction on.
  • Cancel - Set the selected call restriction off.
  • Check status - Check whether the calls are blocked.
  • Edit restr. passw. - Change the restriction password.
  • Cancel all restrict. - Cancel all active call restrictions.


You cannot restrict incoming calls while call forwarding or fixed dialing is active. When calls are restricted, calls still may be possible to certain official emergency numbers.
