Installing applications and software

Important: Only install applications from sources that offer adequate protection against harmful software.

You can install two types of applications and software to your device:
• Applications and software specifically intended for the Nokia 9300 or compatible with the Symbian operating system. These

software installation files have the extension .SIS.

• J2ME applications compatible with the Symbian operating system. The Java application installation files have the

extensions .JAD or .JAR.

Installation files may be transferred to your device from a compatible computer, downloaded during browsing, or sent to you

in a multimedia message, as an e-mail attachment, or with Bluetooth. If you use PC Suite for Nokia 9300 to transfer a file, save

the file in the C:\nokia\installs folder in your device. If you use Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer a file, save the file on a

memory card (local disk).
During installation, the device checks the integrity of the package to be installed. The device shows information about the checks

being carried out, and you are given options to continue or cancel the installation.

See "Certificate manager," p. 65.

If you install applications that require a network connection, note that the power consumption of your device may increase

when you use these applications.
