Backup
Since several application files are always open by the system, it is impossible to perform full backup of the internal (‘Сommunicator’) drive. To create a full backup of the internal drive:
- switch off interface translation in the Control Panel (see ‘Setting system interface language’ below)
- Perform a backup by usual means.
After backup use Control Panel (Панель управления) -> ElbRUS 9210 (ЭльбРУС 9210) to set the interface language back to Russian.
Working with E-mail and Internet
Nokia 9210 mail client can properly handle Cyrillic message header and body text encoding only if it is explicitly specified in the message. Unfortunately, some servers and mail clients do not specify encoding for message body or header. In this case unreadable garbage will be displayed on the screen of your Communicator. To solve this problem, you may use additional Kodar utility, available for download from MacCentre Web site at www.hpc.ru/9210_en.
Please make sure you set the correct encoding in the Control Panel (see below) before sending E-mail messages.

- Select Settings (Настройки) in the Tools (Утилиты) menu of WWW application.
- Go to the Fonts (Шрифты) page, and set Standard Font (Стандартный шрифт) and Monospace Font (Моноширинный шрифт) values to Win-1251 (KOI8-R) and Win-1251 Mono (KOI8-R Mono) – depending on the current encoding. Press Done (Готово) and reload the page by pressing Ctrl-R. Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine the page encoding, so if the page still fails to display properly, repeat the above actions selection another font.

Replacing the memory card
Due to several operating system constraints of the Nokia 9210, it is vital that several components of localization system (such as fonts) are not placed onto internal (C) drive of the communicator – otherwise you won’t be able to format the internal drive in case you device “hangs”. These components are placed onto the memory card (D drive). The program will not work properly without the MMC card inserted.
If you replace the memory card, all necessary files are updated automatically. When you insert a “clean” memory card, a ‘Your MMC card needs to be updated’ window will pop up. Press OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
If for some reason you do not want to update the memory card (for example, if this card is inserted for file copy only), press Cancel. You should always have in mind that if you reset your Nokia 9210 with a ‘clean’ memory card, Russian letters will not be displayed on screen and the program will be completely disabled. To restore the Russian language support, insert the memory card containing necessary files and restart the device by disconnecting its battery or by using the Reset Device utility (can be downloaded at www.hpc.ru/9210).
The following options can be set up for ‘ElbRUS 9210’:
* Keyboard layout: standard or phonetic
* Position of keyboard mode indicator
* Switching off keyboard mode indicator
* Keyboard shortcut for switching between keyboard modes
* System interface language
* Encoding for outgoing E-mail messages
* Encoding for Web posting

You can use Kodar (Кодар) utility for converting text between several Cyrillic character sets (download from www.HPC.ru/9210download_en).
IMPORTANT: this utility does not have the “Nokia OK” certificate.
If you are unable to read the received E-mail message, this could be due to problems with sender’s mail client that did not specify encoding for message body. To read the message anyway, please do the following:
1. Select whole message text (by pressing Ctrl-A in the message viewer window) and copy it to clipboard (Ctrl-C).
2. Open Extras and run Кодар (Kodar) application.
3. Paste text into Kodar window (Ctrl-V).
4. Select probable source encoding from ‘Кодировка’ menu.
5. Press ‘Преобразовать’. After conversion, text will be displayed in the Kodar window. If the text is still unreadable, repeat steps 3-5 using other encodings.
