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 move 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 move. If there is less than
2 MB of free memory in the Nokia 9500 Communicator, you cannot move any data.
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.
There may be additional steps, depending on the type of data that you want to move, the method you want to use to move the
data, the amount of free memory on your communicators or memory card, or the number of successful or unsuccessful data
moves you have made previously.
Make sure that the infrared ports of the devices are facing each other.
