certificates.
Digital certificates do not  guarantee safety; they are
used to verify the  origin of software.
Important:  Even if the use of certificates makes
the risks involved in remo te connections and software
installation considerably smaller, they must be used
correctly in order to benefi t from increased security.
The existence of a certif icate does not offer any
protection by itself; the certificate manager must
contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for
increased security to be avai lable. Certificates have a
restricted lifetime. If Expired certificate or
Certificate not valid yet is shown, even if the
certificate should be valid, check that the current date
and time in your device are correct.
View certificate details — check authenticityYou can only be sure of the  correct identity of a server
when the signature and the va lidity period of a server
certificate have been checked.
You are notified if the identity of the server is not
authentic or if you do not have the correct security
certificate in your device.
To check the details of a certificate, select  Options >
Certificate details . The validity of the certificate is
checked, and one of the following notes may be
displayed:
●Certificate not trusted   — You have not set any
application to use the certificate.
● Expired certificate   — The certificate validity
period has ended.
● Certificate not valid yet   — The certificate validity
period has not yet begun.
● Certificate corrupted   — The certificate cannot be
used. Contact the certificate issuer.Change the trust settingsBefore changing any certificate settings, you must
make sure that you really trust the owner of the
certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the
listed owner.
To change the settings fo r an authority certificate,
select  Options  > Trust settings . Depending on the
certificate, a list of the ap plications that can use the
selected certificate is shown. For example:
● Symbian installation : Yes  — The certificate is able
to certify the origin of a new Symbian operating
system application.
● Internet : Yes  — The certificate is  able to certify
servers.
● App. installation : Yes  — The certificate is able to
certify the origin of a new Java™ application.
To change the value, select  Options > Change trust

Digital rights management
Content owners may use different types of digital
rights management (DRM) technologies to protect
their intellectual property, including copyrights. This
device uses various types  of DRM software to access
DRM-protected content. With this device you can access
content protected with WM DRM 10, OMA DRM 1.0, and
OMA DRM 2.0. If certain DRM  software fails to protect
the content, content owners may ask that such DRM
softwares ability to  access new DRM-protected
content be revoked. Revo cation may also prevent
renewal of such DRM-protected content already in your
device. Revocation of such DRM software does not
affect the use of content protected with other types of
DRM or the use of non-DRM-protected content.
Digital rights management (DRM) protected content
comes with an associated  licence that defines your
rights to use the content.
If your device has OMA DRM-protected content, to back
up both the activation keys and the content, use the
backup feature of Nokia Ovi Suite.
If your device has WMDRM-pr otected content, both the
licence and the content will be lost if the device
memory is formatted. You may also lose the licence and
the content if the files on your device get corrupted.
Losing the licence or the content may limit your ability
to use the same content on your device again. For more
information, contact your service provider.
Some licence may be connected to a specific SIM card,
and the protected content can be accessed only if the
SIM card is inserted in the device.Notification lightsSelect  Menu > Settings  and Phone  > Notification

software package. To restore the original
application, remove the a pplication, and install the
application again from the  original installation file
or the backup copy.
The JAR file is required for installing Java
applications. If it is missi ng, the device may ask you

memory. The files may use large amounts of memory
and prevent you from storin g other files. To maintain
sufficient memory, use Nokia Ovi Suite to back up
installation files to a compatible PC, then use the file
manager to remove the inst allation files from the
device memory.If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging inbox.
