About phone software and application updates
With phone software updates and application updates, you can get new features and enhanced functions for your phone. Updating the software may also improve your phone performance.
It is recommended that you back up your personal data before updating your phone software.
Using services or downloading content may cause transfer of large amounts of data, which may result in data traffic costs.
Before starting the update, connect a charger or make sure the device battery has enough power.
After the update, the instructions in the user guide may no longer be up to date. You may find the updated user guide at www.nokia.com/support .
