Using the applications

When the cover is opened, the application which was active when you closed the cover appears in the state in which you left it. However, if you have made or answered a voice call via the phone interface and switch to the communica- tor interface by opening the device cover, the Telephone application activates automatically, see Chapter , "Telephone".

To switch to another application, press the cor- responding application button. You can do this even during an active call.

Note: You need not “exit” any application before starting another. All inactive applications are run in the background until they are activated again. If the battery is removed or completely discharged, all data will be saved, and the applications will return to their default states.

Information need not be specifically saved (there is no “Save” command). The Nokia 9000il Com- municator saves all data automatically.

To send or receive with any of the communica- tions applications, remember that the phone in- terface must be switched on and in a service area with adequate GSM1900 network signal strength.
