							Connection securityIf the security indicator (
) is displayed during a
connection, the data transmission between the device
and the internet gateway or server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data
transmission between the gateway and the content
server (where the data is stored) is secure. The service
provider secures the data transmission between the
gateway and the content server.
Security certificates may be required for some services,
such as banking services. You are notified if the identity
of the server is not authentic or if you do  not have the
correct security certificat e in your device. For more
information, contact yo ur service provider.
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.
Before 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.Web settingsSelect  Menu > Web  and Options  > Settings  and

							Positioning (GPS)You can use applications such as GPS data to find out
your location, or measure distances and coordinates.
These applications require a GPS connection.About GPSThe Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United
States government and is su bject to change with the
United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can
a l s o  b e  a f f e c t e d  b y  p o o r  s a tellite geometry. Availability
and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your
location, buildings, natural obstacles and weather
conditions. GPS signals may not be available inside
buildings or underground and may be impaired by
materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you shou ld never rely solely on
location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio
networks for positioning or navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding
errors may occur. Accuracy  can also be affected by
availability and quality of GPS signals.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed using the
international WGS-84 coordinate system. The
availability of the coordinates may vary by region.
For the pricing and availability of these services,
contact your service provider.Assisted GPS (A-GPS)Your device also supports assisted GPS (A-GPS).
A-GPS requires network support.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data
over a packet data conn ection, which assists in
calculating the coordinates of your current location
when your device is receiving signals from satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful
satellite information from  an assistance data server
over the cellular network. With the help of assisted
data, your device can obtain the GPS position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS
service, if no service prov ider-specific A-GPS settings
are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the
Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.
87Positioning (GPS) 
						

							To disable the A-GPS service, select Menu >
Applications  > Location  and Options  >
Positioning settings > Positioning methods  >
Assisted GPS  > Disable.
You must have an internet access point defined in the
device to retrieve assistance  d a t a  f r o m  t h e  N o k i a  A - G P S
service over a packet data connection. The access point
for A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A
wireless LAN (WLAN) access  point cannot be used for
this service. Only a packet data internet access point
can be used. Your device asks you to select the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.Hold your device correctlyWhen using the GPS receiver, ensure you do not cover
the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS
connection may take
from a couple of
seconds to several
minutes. Establishing
a GPS connection in a
vehicle may take
longer.
The GPS receiver
draws its power from
the device battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain
the battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS
connectionCheck satellite signal statusTo check how many satellit es your device has found,
and whether your device is  receiving satellite signals,
select Menu  > Applications >  Location and GPS
data  > Options  > Satellite status .
If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is shown in the
satellite info view. The
longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite
signal. When your device has received enough data
from the satellite signal to calculate your location, the
bar color changes.
To view the positions of  found satellites, select Chg.
view.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates
of your location. When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is  generally better when more
satellites are found.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider the
following:
88Positioning (GPS) 
						

							●If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.Position requestsYou may receive a request from a network service to
receive your positi on information. Service providers
may offer information about local topics, such as
weather or traffic conditions , based on the location of
your device.
When you receive a position request, the service that
is making the request  is displayed. Select Accept to
