Installing an application

You can install applications that are specifically intended for this phone and
suitable for the Symbian operating system.

If you install an application that is not intended specifically for this phone, it may
function and look different from what was originally intended.

• Open the Application manager, scroll to the application, and select

Options

Install

to start the installation.

• Alternatively, search the phone memory or the memory card, select the

application, and press

to start the installation.

Applications may be downloaded to your phone during browsing, received as
attachments in multimedia messages or e-mails, or received via infrared or
Bluetooth technology from another device, for example, a phone or a compatible
PC.

Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate security and
protection against harmful software.

To increase protection, the application installation system uses digital signatures
and certificates for applications. Do not install the application if the Application
manager gives a security warning during installation.

If you install an application that contains an update or repair to an existing
application, you can only restore the original application if you have the original
application or a full backup copy of the removed application. To restore the
original application, first remove the updated or repaired application and then re-
install it from the original application or the backup copy.
