You can transfer installation files to your device from a

compatible computer, download them during browsing, or

receive them in a multimedia message, as an e-mail

attachment, or using other connectivity methods, such as

Bluetooth connectivity. You can use Nokia Application

Installer in Nokia Ovi Suite to install an application to your

device.
Icons in Application manager indicate the following:

SIS or SISX application

Java™ application

widgets

Important: Only install and use applications and other

software from trusted sources, such as applications that are

Symbian Signed or have passed the Java Verified™ 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 Details: > Certificates: > View details.

● 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, remove the application, and

install the application again from the original installation

file or the backup 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.

To install software or an application, do the following:
1. To locate an installation file, select

Applications >

App. mgr.. Alternatively, search for installation files using

2. In Application manager, select Options > Install. In

other applications, select the installation file to start the

installation.
During installation, the device shows information about

the progress of the installation. If you install an

application without a digital signature or certification,

the device displays a warning. Continue installation only

if you are sure of the origin and contents of the

application.

To start an installed application, locate the application in the

menu, and select the application.

when, select Options > View log.

Important: Your device can only support one antivirus

application. Having more than one application with antivirus

functionality could affect performance and operation or

cause the device to stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible memory card,

installation files (.sis, .sisx) 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

Ovi 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.
