Memory
There are two types of memory into which you can save data or install applications: device memory and removable memory.
Device memory
Memory that is built into your device is a dynamic memory pool shared by many applications. The amount of internal memory
available varies but cannot be increased past the maximum factory setting. Data stored on the device, such as software
applications, pictures, and music, consume device memory.
Removable memory
Removable memory is data storage that is not built into your device, such as a SIM card or a memory card. A SIM card stores
different information, such as information about the network operator and contacts. A memory card serves as external storage
media for software applications, pictures, music, contacts, text, or any other form of electronic data. High-capacity memory
cards are available.
Memory details
Select Menu, and Options > Memory details and Phone mem. or Memory card.
You can see how much memory is currently in use, how much free memory remains, and how much memory is consumed by
each data type. For example, you can see how much memory your e-mail messages, text documents, or calendar appointments
consume.
Tip: To ensure that you have adequate memory, you should regularly delete or transfer data to a memory card or PC.
Memory card
Nokia
This device uses a mini Secure Digital (SD) card.
Use only compatible miniSD cards with this device. Other memory cards, such as MultiMediaCards, reduced-size
MultiMediaCards or full-size SD cards, do not fit in the memory card slot and are not compatible with this device. Using
an incompatible memory card may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the incompatible card
may be corrupted.
Your Nokia device supports the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems for memory cards. If you use a memory card from another device
or if you want to ensure compatibility of the memory card with your Nokia device, you may need to format the memory card
with your Nokia device. However, all data in the memory card is permanently deleted if you format the memory card.
Format a memory card
When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is lost permanently. Consult your retailer to find out if you must format
the memory card before you can use it. To format a memory card, select Options > Format mem. card. When formatting is
complete, enter a name for the memory card.
Back up and restore to the memory card
It is recommended to back up device memory regularly to the memory card. The information can be restored to your device
later. Do not remove the memory card in the middle of an operation when the card is being accessed. Removing the card in the
middle of an operation may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the card may be corrupted. To
back up information from device memory to a memory card, select Menu > Tools > Memory card > Options > Backup phone
mem.. To restore information from the memory card to the device memory, select Menu > Tools > Memory card > Options >
Restore from card.
If you cannot use a memory card in your device, you may have the wrong type of memory card, the card may not be formatted
for your device, or the card has a corrupted file system.
Tip: You can insert and remove a memory card without removing the battery or switching off the device.
Memory card security
You can protect a memory card with a password to prevent unauthorized access. To set a password, select Options > Set
password. The password can be up to 8 characters long and is case-sensitive. The password is stored in your device and you do
not need to enter it again while you use the memory card on the same device. If you use the memory card on another device,
you are asked for the password. Not all memory cards support password protection.
To remove the memory card password, select Options > Remove password. When you remove the password, the data on the
memory card is not protected against unauthorized use.
