Installing software

You can install applications that are specifically intended for the Nokia 7650 or suitable
for the Symbian operating system. A software package is usually one large compressed file
containing many component files.

Example: If you

have received the
installation file as an e-
mail attachment, go to
your mailbox, open the e-
mail, open the
Attachments view, scroll
to the installation file,
and press the joystick to
start the installation.

Note: If you install a program that is not intended specifically for the Nokia 7650,
it may function and look very different from the usual Nokia 7650 applications.

Important: 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 backup copy of the removed software package. To restore
the original application, first remove the application and then install the application
again from the original installation file or the backup copy.

1 Installation packages may be transferred to your phone from a computer, downloaded

during WAP browsing, or sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, via Bluetooth, or via infrared.

2 Open Manager, scroll to the installation package, and select

Options

Install

to start

the installation.
Alternatively, search the phone memory for the installation file, select the file, and press
the joystick to start the installation. See the example on the side of the page.

If you are installing software without a digital signature or a certificate, the phone warns
you of the risks of installing software. Continue installation only if you are absolutely sure
of the origin and contents of the software package.

During installation, the phone checks the integrity of the package to be installed. The
phone shows information about the checks being carried out and you are given options
whether to continue or cancel the installation. Once the phone has checked the integrity
of the software package, the application is installed on your phone.
