Formatting the Nokia 9300 internal memory
This document describes how to format the Nokia 9300
internal memory so that all user-related data is erased.
Important: Formatting the Nokia 9300
internal memory will permanently erase all
user data, including:
•Messages
• Calendar data
•Contacts
• Camera images
• Notes and links from Desk
• Documents, Sheets, Presentations
• Add-on (user-installed) applications in the
internal memory
• Web bookmarks
• All settings of Nokia 9300 side (e.g., Internet
access points, Regional settings...)
• All settings of the Cover Phone side
Formatting will also permanently erase the pre-installed
Nokia.com mobile bookmark from Web bookmarks.
Formatting will also permanently erase all pre-installed
operator-specific customizations, such as background
images, Desk links, and Internet access points.
All of these can be restored from a backup, if the backup
is made before formatting. If necessary, take a backup
before formatting. Note that if you use formatting to
repair faulty behaviour of Nokia 9300, restoring the
backed-up data files may restore the unwanted behaviour
as well. In that case, a partial restore may resolve the
situation.
The contents of the SIM card and memory card (MMC) are
not erased during formatting.
To format the internal memory, do the following:
1. Remove the memory card, the SIM card, and all
connections from the PopPort™ connector.
2. Insert a charged BP-5L battery to restart Nokia 9300.
Do not insert the back cover and do not start the cover
phone.
Important: Make sure you have enough battery
power (3 battery bars or more), or connect the
device to a charger.
3. Open the cover. When you see the big NOKIA text on
the device display, immediately press and hold down
