2. Installing on a Java enabled phone.

   - There are SPECIAL Instructions for Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones. Please read below!

   - If installing for a Motorola Phone, please refer to the instructions given below for Motorola Phones

   - Unzip the ZIP file on your PC desktop. Use WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) to unzip the file.

   - Ensure you have a Data-Cable or Bluetooth or Infra-red (along with its software) for transferring the file from your PC to your Mobile

   - Choose the right CLDC version (there should be a CLDC 1.0 and a 1.1 directory). Your phone will work with only one of the two. Try CLDC 1.0 first, if that doesn't work, try 1.1.

  - Browse into a chosen CLDC directory and transfer the .JAR file from the directory on your PC to your Mobile (e.g. transfer CLDC1.0\PrayerTimes.jar to your mobile). For this step, you will need a data cable that came with your phone, a cradle or bluetooth. Please consult your phone's manual for further details on how to transfer files from your PC to your mobile.

  - Once the file has been transferred to your mobile (you can transfer it to a storage card or main memory), open the transferred file from your mobile to begin installation

  - In some Nokia models (e.g. E61), your mobile may complain that it is unable to install the software as it's not 'Signed'. You can remove this warning by going into "Tools->Application Manager->Options->Settings" and change the 'Software Installation' option to 'All'.
