Getting started
You can download or transfer a software package containing the files of the
application into the communicator. Then you can install the application. Software
can also be installed from a memory card. A software package is usually one large
compressed file containing many component files.
Tip: You can also start
the installation by browsing
for the installation package
in communicator memory or
memory card with File
manager, selecting it, and
pressing the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: When downloading or transferring software packages into the
communicator, use only packages whose file names end ‘.sis’.
An example of a suitable file name is ‘MediaPlayer.sis’.
To start the installation, press Install new on the Installed software page. Browse for
the software package you want to install, and press OK. The installation process begins.
WARNING: Only install software from sources that offer adequate protection
against viruses and other harmful software. To help you, the software
installation system on the Nokia 9290 Communicator uses digital
signatures and certificates on software packages. See page 35.
If you are installing software without a digital signature or a certificate, the
communicator warns you of the risks of installing software, as shown in Figure 13.
Tip: If you have installed
PC Suite for Nokia 9290
Communicator on your PC
and the communicator is
connected to your PC, you
can also install software by
double-clicking a file ending
with .sis stored on your PC.
