Using the applications
When the cover is opened, the application which
was active when you closed the cover appears in
the state in which you left it. However, if you
have made or answered a voice call via the
phone interface and switch to the communica-
tor interface by opening the device cover, the
Telephone application activates automatically,
see Chapter , "Telephone".
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. If the battery is removed
or completely discharged, all data will be
saved, and the applications will return to
their default states.
Information need not be specifically saved (there
is no “Save” command). The Nokia 9000il Com-
municator saves all data automatically.
To send or receive with any of the communica-
tions applications, remember that the phone in-
terface must be switched on and in a service
area with adequate GSM1900 network signal
strength.
