Transfer content
You can use the Switch application to copy content
such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items,
and images from your previous Nokia device to your
device.
The type of content that can be transferred depends
on the model of the device from which you want to
transfer content. If that device supports
synchronisation, you can also synchronise data
between the devices. Your device notifies you if the
other device is not compatible.
If the other device cannot be switched on without
a SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When
your device is switched on without a SIM card, the
Offline profile is automatically activated, and
transfer can be done.
Transfer content for the first time
1. To retrieve data from the other device for the
first time, on your device, select Phone switch
in the Welcome application, or select Menu >
Tools > Switch.
2. Select the connection type you want to use to
transfer the data. Both devices must support the
selected connection type.
3. If you select Bluetooth connectivity as the
connection type, connect the two devices. To
have your device search for devices with
Bluetooth connectivity, select Continue. Select
the device from which you want to transfer
content. You are asked to enter a code on your
device. Enter a code (1-16 digits), and select
OK. Enter the same code on the other device, and
select OK
Some earlier Nokia devices may not have the
Switch application. In this case, the Switch
application is sent to the other device as a
message. To install the Switch application on the
other device, open the message, and follow the
instructions on the display.
4. On your device, select the content you want to
transfer from the other device.
When the transfer has started, you can cancel it
and continue later.
Content is transferred from the memory of the other
device to the corresponding location in your device.
The transfer time depends on the amount of data
to be transferred.
Synchronise, retrieve, or send
content
Select Menu > Tools > Switch.
After the first transfer, select from the following to
start a new transfer, depending on the model:
to synchronise content between your device
and the other device, if the other device supports
synchronisation. The synchronisation is two-way. If
an item is deleted in one device, it is deleted in both.
You cannot restore deleted items with
synchronisation.
to retrieve content from the other device to
your device. With retrieval, content is transferred
from the other device to your device. You may be
asked to keep or delete the original content in the
other device, depending on the device model.
to send content from your device to your other
device
If you cannot send an item, depending on the type
of the other device, you can add the item to the
Nokia folder, to C:\Nokia or E:\Nokia in your
device. When you select the folder to transfer, the
items are synchronised in the corresponding folder
in the other device, and vice versa.
Use shortcuts to repeat a transfer
After a data transfer, you can save a shortcut with
the transfer settings to the main view to repeat the
same transfer later.
To edit the shortcut, select Options > Shortcut
settings. For example, you can create or change the
name of the shortcut.
A transfer log is shown after every transfer. To view
the log of the last transfer, select a shortcut in the
main view and Options > View log.
Handle transfer conflicts
If an item to be transferred has been edited in both
devices, the device attempts to merge the changes
automatically. If this is not possible, there is a
transfer conflict. Select Check one by one, Priority
to this phone, or Priority to other phone to solve
the conflict.
