Nokia Switch
Transfer content
You can use the Switch application to copy content such as
phone numbers, addresses, calendar items, and images from
your previous Nokia device to your device.
The type of content that can be transferred depends on the
model of the device from which you want to transfer content.
If that device supports synchronisation, you can also
synchronise data between the devices. Your device notifies
you if the other device is not compatible.
If the other device cannot be switched on without a SIM card,
you can insert your SIM card in it. When your device is
switched on without a SIM card, the Offline profile is
automatically activated, and transfer can be done.
Transfer content for the first time
1. To retrieve data from the other device for the first time,
on your device, select Phone switch in the Welcome
application, or select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Switch.
2. Select the connection type you want to use to transfer the
data. Both devices must support the selected connection
type.
3. If you select Bluetooth connectivity as the connection
type, connect the two devices. To have your device search
for devices with Bluetooth connectivity, select Continue.
Select the device from which you want to transfer content.
You are asked to enter a code on your device. Enter a code
(1-16 digits), and select OK. Enter the same code on the
other device, and select OK. The devices are now paired.
Some earlier Nokia devices may not have the Switch
application. In this case, the Switch application is sent to
the other device as a message. To install the Switch
application on the other device, open the message, and
follow the instructions on the display.
4. On your device, select the content you want to transfer
from the other device.
When the transfer has started, you can cancel it and
continue later.
Content is transferred from the memory of the other device
to the corresponding location in your device. The transfer
time depends on the amount of data to be transferred.
Synchronise, retrieve, or send
content
Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Switch.
After the first transfer, select from the following to start a
new transfer, depending on the model:
to synchronise content between your device and the
other device, if the other device supports synchronisation.
The synchronisation is two-way. If an item is deleted in one
device, it is deleted in both. You cannot restore deleted items
with synchronisation.
to retrieve content from the other device to your device.
With retrieval, content is transferred from the other device
to your device. You may be asked to keep or delete the
original content in the other device, depending on the device
model.
