Nokia SwitchTransfer 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 Menu > Settings >
Connectivity > Data transfer > Phone 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. The devices
are now paired.

							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
After the first data transfer, you can start new transfers or
create shortcuts to repeat the same type of transfer later.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer >
Phone switch.
Select from the following to start a new transfer, depending
on the model:
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.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 tokeep or delete the original content in the other
device, depending on the device model.
Send content from your device to the 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, or 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.
After a data transfer, you are asked if you want to save a
shortcut with the transfer settings to the main view, so you
can repeat the same transfer later.
Edit a shortcut
Select Options > Shortcut settings. You can create or
change the name of the shortcut, for example.
View the transfer log
Select a shortcut in the main view and Options > View log.
If an item to be transferred has been edited in both devices,
