the Symbian operating system. These software
installation files have the extension .SIS.
• J2ME™ compatible with the Symbian operating
system. The Java™ application installation files have
the extensions .JAD or .JAR.
Installation files may be transferred to your device from
a compatible computer, downloaded during browsing,
or sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or with Bluetooth. If you use PC Suite for
Nokia 9500 Communicator to transfer a file, save the
file in the C:\nokia\installs folder in your device. If you
use Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer a file, save
the file on a memory card (local disk).
During installation, the device checks the integrity of
the package to be installed. The device shows
information about the checks being carried out, and
you are given options to continue or cancel the
installation.
See Certificate manager on page 99.
Installing software
When you install an update or repair to an application,
you must have the original or a full backup to restore
the application. To restore the original application,
remove the application, and install it again from the
original installation file or the backup copy.
•
To install software, search the device memory or
memory card for the installation file, select the file,
and press the enter key to start the installation. For
example, if you received the installation file as an e-
mail attachment, go to your mailbox, open the e-
mail, select an installation file, and press the enter
key to start the installation.
Use the Application manager to remove software. See
Application manager on page 92.
Installing Java™ applications
1. Search the device memory or memory card for the
installation file, select the file, and press the enter
key to start the installation. For example, if you
received the installation file as an e-mail
attachment, go to your mailbox, open the e-mail,
select an installation file, and press the enter key to
start the installation.
2. Confirm the installation. The .JAR file extension is
required for installation. If it is missing, the device
may ask you to download it. If there is no access
point defined, you will be asked to select one. When
you download the .JAR file, you may need to enter a
user name and password to access the server. You
can obtain these from the application provider.
3. The device informs you when installation is
complete.
Tip:
When browsing Web pages, you can
download an installation file and install it
immediately. Note, however, that the
connection runs in the background during
installation.
