Installation files may be transferred to your device from a
compatible computer, downloaded during browsing, or
sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or using Bluetooth connectivity or infrared.
You can use Nokia Application Installer in Nokia PC Suite
to install an application to your device. If you use
Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer a file, save the file
to a memory card (local disk).
After you install applications to a compatible memory
card, installation files (.sis) remain in the device memory.
The files may use large amounts of memory and prevent
you from storing other files. To maintain sufficient
memory, use Nokia PC Suite to back up installation files to
a compatible PC, then use the file manager to remove the
installation files from the device memory. If the .sis file is
a message attachment, delete the message from the
Messaging inbox.
Install applications and software
indicates a .sis application, a Java application,
that the application is not fully installed, and that the
application is installed on a compatible memory card.
Important: Only install and use applications and
other software from trusted sources, such as applications
that are Symbian Signed or have passed the Java
VerifiedTM testing.
Before installation, note the following:
• To view the application type, version number, and the
supplier or manufacturer of the application, select
Options > View details.
• To display the security certificate details of the
application, select Options > View certificate. See
‘Certificate management’, p. 110.
• If you install a file that contains an update or repair to
an existing application, you can only restore the
original application if you have the original installation
file or a full back-up copy of the removed software
package. To restore the original application, remove
the application, and install the application again from
the original installation file or the back-up copy.
• The .jar file is required for installing Java applications.
If it is missing, the device may ask you to download it.
If there is no access point defined for the application,
you are asked to select one. When you are
downloading the .jar file, you may need to enter a user
name and password to access the server. You obtain
these from the supplier or manufacturer of the
application.
