Using the applications
When the cover is opened, the application that
was active when you closed the cover, appears in
the same state. However, if you have made or an-
swered a voice call via the phone interface and
switch to the communicator interface by open-
ing the device cover, the Telephone application
activates automatically.
To switch to another application, press the cor-
responding application button. You can do this
even during an active call.
Note: You need not “exit” any application before
starting another. All inactive applications
are run in the background until they are
activated again. However, if the battery is
removed or completely discharged, all
data will be saved, but the applications re-
turn to their default states.
Note: Information need not be specifically saved
(there is no “Save” command). Nokia 9000i
Communicator saves all data automatically.
To send or receive calls or messages with any of
the communications applications, remember
that the phone interface must be switched on
and in a service area with adequate cellular sig-
nal strength.
