Data and software management

Your communicator offers you several applications for managing your personal data, such as contacts and calendar information
and e-mail.

Data mover

You can use Data mover to transfer certain data, such as contacts and settings, from your Nokia 9200 series Communicator to
your Nokia 9500 Communicator with infrared or a memory card. Before you start, make sure that there is enough free memory
in your devices or memory card for the transfer. Note that if there is less than 2 MB of free memory in the Nokia 9500
Communicator , you cannot start the transfer.
Do not use the Nokia 9500 Communicator when using Data mover. If possible, switch off the cover phone. Make sure you have
enough battery power, or connect the device to a charger.
Note: Before you use an existing compatible memory card with your Nokia 9500 Communicator, you must convert the
memory card with Data mover and reinstall the applications that you previously installed to the memory card. However,
do not reinstall any pre-installed applications for the Nokia 9210 Communicator. Your Nokia 9500 Communicator
contains a later version of these applications, and these later versions must be used with Nokia 9500 Communicator.
Note that there may be additional steps, depending on the type of information that you want to transfer, the method of transfer
you want to use, the amount of free memory on your previous communicator or memory card, or the number of successful or
unsuccessful transfers you have made previously. Make sure that the infrared ports of the devices are facing each other.
