Mowe is easy to use and in most cases these instructions are not needed for you to use it. Underneath is, however, given a detailed description how to take it into use and what its functionalities are. If you have already tried to take Mowe into use and you had problems either with downloading Mowe or downloading the weather information, we suggest that you check the setting pages for correct phone settings.


PART 1: TAKING MOWE INTO USE

Download and install Mowe into your phone

Download Mowe application into your phone by typing in and opening the following address in the web browser of your phone

The internet browser is most often shown in your phone with a globe icon. Your phone asks whether to download and to install the application. Answer yes to all the questions.

Start Mowe

You will find the application from one of the following places
Nokia:
• Applications –> Collection

You will be asked for a license code and your phone number when you use the application for the first time. You will find your code attached to the packet you have purchased. The application remembers the license code and will ask for a new code when the code expires.

OSA 2: MOWE FUNCTIONALITIES

Main Menu

In the Main Menu you are given the choice to download weather information from one of the Recent Places you have previously already downloaded the information from. When you use Mowe for the first time the list under Recent Places bar is empty. From Find Place you can choose a new country and a city from which you want to download the information from. Before downloading the info you can define from Settings whether you want full info with pictures or only the basic weather forecast. You can also choose the length of the forecasts and how large geographic area is shown in the pictures.

Find place

You can choose a country and a city where to download information from by pressing Find Place in the main menu. You can move in the lists in two ways 1) by pressing the phone’s navigation button up or down or 2) by typing in letters in the search box which is the fastest way to move. You will jump directly into the right place in the list.

With Mowe you can download weather information from about 3000 places located in over 100 countries. Weather information with animated pictures is available from all the European places.

Weather information types

Mowe provides own views for each type of weather information
• Basic information about clouds, temperature and wind
• Temperature maps
• Pictures of rain and clouds
• Wind maps

You can move between these views by pressing right or left. Each view contains a larger set of data than what can be shown at once. You can go through this data within each view by pressing your phone’s navigation button up or down.

Settings

From the settings you can choose what information Mowe shows from your chosen location. Forecast type defines whether Mowe downloads only the basic forecasts, rain-cloud pictures or the full forecast with all pictures. If you want to minimize the already low costs of use, you should choose to download only the basic forecast.

Picture coverage defines the geographic extent of the pictures meaning the zoom level of the pictures. You can also define the length of the shown forecast. With short length the basic forecast is for two days with a time step of three hours. With long forecast the basic forecast is for five days and the time step is six hours.
