the System application button, selecting an ap-
plication in the System main view and pressing

The Nokia 9000 Communicator’s applications for 
PC connectivity (File transfer, Install/Remove 
software, Backup/Restore, Import/Export con-
tacts, Import/Export calendar data) enable you to 
connect to a PC. The Security application lets you 
determine the level of system security and 
change security codes (see "Security").
Note: 
When one of the PC connection applica-
tions or the fax modem application is activated, 
the communicator consumes more power than 
normally. To extend the battery operation time, 
these applications should be closed when they 
are not in use.

ting seems satisfactory, press
