Installing applications

An application you want to install

must be suitable for the Symbian op-

erating system. Application packag-

es are normally compressed files

which contain several component

files.

You can get installation packages via
• Bluetooth™, Infrared from a com-

puter or phone.

• multimedia message or as an

e-mail attachment.

• download during a WAP session.
Select the required installation

package:

OptionsKInstall

Alternatively, look at possible appli-

cations e.g. Inbox for an installation

file, select it and press the joystick to

start installation.

Note
Do not install software from sources without

adequate protection against viruses and

other harmful software.
To help you, the software installation sys-

tem uses digital signatures and certificates

on software packages.

Note
Before you install an update for an existing

application, be sure that you have a backup

or the original software package. Otherwise

you cannot restore the original application.
Before restoring the original, remove the in-

stalled application.

Note
The phone warns you when installing soft-

ware without digital signature or certificate.

Continue only if you are sure of the origin

and the contents of the software package.
