Install applications and software
indicates a .sis application,
a Java application,
that the application is not fully installed, and
that the application is installed on the memory card.
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
TM
testing.
Before installation, note the following:
• To view the application type, version number, and the
supplier or manufacturer of the application, select

• To display the security certificate details of the
application, select
Options
>
View certificate
. See
‘Certificate management’, p. 121.
• 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 back-up 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 back-up
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.

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.
Installation files (.sis) of applications that are stored in the
device memory will remain in the memory after the
application has been installed to a compatible miniSD
card. Stored installation files may consume large amounts
of device memory, leaving insufficient memory to store
new applications, messages and other files. To help prevent
this, first backup the installation file to a compatible PC
using Nokia PC Suite, then remove the installation file
from the device memory using
File manager
(see ‘File
manager’, p. 15).
