For ease of reference the Getting to know your P910a chapter  
gives a quick overview of the main functions of the phone,  
shortcuts and general information.  
The P910a also contains an organizer,  
which includes contacts, a calendar,  
notes and email, all of which can be

with a PC. The email application  
supports attachments. Viewers let you  
read and edit documents in various  
formats such as Microsoft® Word  
and Excel®.  
Your P910a combines advanced business and entertainment  
features in one intuitive device.  
Its camera lets you take pictures and record video wherever you  
are and use them in a wide range of applications. The pictures  
can be used in the Picture Phone Book, where they can be used  
to identify callers.

receive messages that include pictures, sound, text and voice  
notes.

Battery  
SIM card  
When you register as a subscriber with  
a network operator, you receive a SIM  
(Subscriber Identity Module) card.  
The SIM card contains a computer  
chip that keeps track of your phone  
number, the services included in your  
subscription and your phone book  
information, among other things.  
Before you use your P910a for the first time, charge the battery  
provided for at least 4 hours. Use the supplied charger. See  
‘Charging the battery’ on page 13.  
Insertion and removal  
To insert the battery  
1. Ensure that the flip is closed.  
A PIN (Personal Identity Number)  
code is supplied with the SIM card  
from your operator and must be  
entered when switching on the P910a.  
2. Remove the battery cover by  
sliding it downwards.  
3. Place the battery in the  
battery compartment and  
close the cover.  
Open the battery cover by pressing  
sligthly on its upper part and slide it  
down the P910a. Insert the SIM card as shown in the picture.  
To remove the battery  
1. Ensure that your P910a is  
turned off.  
Some subscriptions are limited to call only predefined numbers,  
so-called Fixed Dialling Numbers (FDN). To avoid problems  
when travelling abroad, these predefined numbers should be  
defined as international numbers starting with +, for example  
+4613244500. In order to speed up calling while at home, the  
same numbers can also be added in the national number format,  
for example 013244500.  
Note It is important that you always turn off your P910a before  
removing the battery. Failure to do so can result in loss of  
information.  
2. Remove the battery cover by sliding it downwards.  
3. Use your fingernail at the lower left-hand edge of the battery  
to gently lift the lower edge of the battery outwards.  
For more information. see ‘Copying contacts to and from the  
SIM card’ on page 104.  
4. Take out the battery.

screen is full and the indicator  
on the top of the P910a shows  
a steady green light.

indicator light (on the top of your P910a) flashes red and a  
battery low message appears on the screen.  
The battery can be charged whenever you want. The P910a  
performance is not affected. However, using your P910a  
while charging increases the charging time.  
5. Remove the charger by tilting  
the plug upwards.  
Tip You can also use other battery chargers that have been  
supplied with other Sony Ericsson mobile phones using the same  
connector plug, for example, T300 or P900.  
To charge the battery  
The P910a can be charged either when it is switched on or off.  
1. Make sure the battery is inserted in your P910a and the cover  
is closed.  
Note When the battery is completely discharged, or new, it may

Formatting a Memory Stick  
The Memory Stick supplied with the P910a may or may not be a  
version that contains the lock function. Remember, you can  
overwrite existing files without the lock function.  
New Memory Sticks are normally automaticaly formated first  
time they are inserted in a phone. The phone stops working  
during the formatting and it can take some time.

Getting to know your P910a  
   
Preliminary Layla850 P1B  
Note Do not remove a Memory Stick during the formatting.  
Other devices must access the same folder structure to interact  
with the P910a files. If you are using a PC, this is easily done by  
browsing to the required folder on the Memory Stick.  
If you need to reformat a Memory Stick, select  
> Other > Format disk and tap Format, or select

File > Format disk and tap Format. When you format a Memory  
Stick, you delete all the information on it, including any  
applications that you may have installed.  
Memory Stick enabled devices which do not allow you to  
browse and manage a folder structure may not be able to share  
data directly with the applications in your P910a (for example,  
Memory Stick enabled digital cameras). However, the File  
Manager can access these files and move them into the correct  
folders for use by the applications. When your P910a is

Folders are also used when managing files of different types on  
your P910a and Memory Stick. You might want to move or copy  
sound files into a sound track folder to store on a Memory Stick.  
When a Memory Stick is available in the P910a, the folders on it  
are shown in the folder menu under the divider. If you rename  
the disk (see ‘Renaming a Memory Stick’ on page 22) the  
divider will show the new name.  
As you may notice, if you connect your P910a to a PC and view  
the contents of your P910a in My P910a, it is easier to get an  
overview of a folder and file structure on a large screen than on  
a handheld device. If you make it a habit to set up specific  
folders to suit your needs and use them to categorize all your  
information, working with it becomes easy.  
In list view, there is a super-folder called All, which, when  
selected, displays items from all folders (in  
Contacts, the All  
folder does not display the entries in the SIM phone book). All is  
the default value in list views and when an application is first  
launched.  
Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in  
one application is not visible in another.

You cannot change the PUK code.  
SIM card lock  
The SIM card lock protects your SIM card, not the P910a,  
against unauthorized use. It is unlocked by the PIN and PUK  
codes which you receive from your service provider.  
PIN2  
Some functions on the SIM card can be protected by a  
secondary code feature. Some SIM cards do not have a PIN2  
lock.  
You can choose to have to unlock the SIM card every time you  
turn the P910a on, or to have the SIM card unlocked.  
The PIN2 lock cannot be deactivated. The code can be changed  
by a user who knows the old code.  
Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) code consists of four  
to eight digits. If you activate the SIM card lock, the P910a will  
ask for the PIN code every time you turn it on. You unlock the  
SIM card by entering the PIN code.  
Device lock  
The device lock protects your P910a and the data in it against  
unauthorized use.  
To activate the SIM card lock  
If the device lock is set to When SIM changed, it means that the  
P910a is not normally locked. However, if the SIM has been  
changed, the P910a asks you to enter the code to unlock the  
P910a before you can use it. This means that if someone steals  
your P910a and puts another SIM card into it, they will not be  
able to use it.

.
An error message informs you if a wrong PIN code has been  
entered. Usually, the SIM card will be blocked after three wrong  
attempts (the number of attempts is SIM-card dependent), and  
you need to enter the PUK code to unblock it.  
Note Your operator can block your SIM, if you report that your  
phone has been stolen.  
The PUK code consists of eight digits. When you have entered  
the right PUK code you must enter a new PIN code. You have  
ten attempts to enter the PUK code. If all ten attempts fail, the  
SIM card will be disabled and you need to contact your network  
operator.  
The device lock is not on when you buy your P910a. You can  
change the device lock code to any four to eight digit personal  
code.  
The default device lock code is 0000.

Note If you save an address from an email message  
synchronized from your company PC, the corporate version of  
the address, rather than the full Internet email address, will be  
saved to Contacts. If the corporate version of the address is not  
an Internet address (an X.400 address, or just the sender's  
name, for example), you can use it to send email from your  
synchronized account, but you cannot use it in email that you  
send directly from your P910a.  
If you have both GPRS and Dial-Up Internet accounts, try  
sending the email message using an account of the other type.  
GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS network and Dial-Up  
Internet accounts use the GSM network.

Installing applications  
It is possible to install new applications in your P910a. These  
applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:  
Applications which are not approved by Sony Ericsson are not  
guaranteed to work correctly or securely, and users install them  
at their own risk. Product failures caused by applications not  
approved or made for Sony Ericsson will not be covered by your

from other devices.  
Installing applications on your  
P910a  
There are two types of installation files for applications:  
SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910a or other  
Sony Ericsson devices.  
Installation file security  
Installation files in SIS format are typically used for installation  
of Epoc or PersonalJava™ applications or other content into the  
P910a file system.The vendor who prepared the SIS file decides  
where in the file system the various content of the SIS file will  
be installed. This means that you need to decide if you trust that  
the SIS file does not contain harmful content. If you are certain  
of the origin of the SIS file you can take an installation decision  
based on what you know about that vendor. Your P910a  
MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java  
Archive).  
Note SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one  
or more files.  
Programs made for the Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 series can  
also be used in the P910a.  
This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for  
example, system components and add-ons.  
supports cryptographic verification of vendor identity.  
During installation the P910a verifies a digital signature and  
certificate in the SIS file against a root certificate in the phone.  
Successful verification means that you can trust the origin of the

created. If the SIS file does not contain a digital signature you  
will be given a warning about the problem but you can still  
decide to proceed with the installation at your own risk. In  
general, it is recommended that you install only from SIS files  
where the vendor identity and file integrity can be verified.  
5. Installation starts when the download is complete.  
From the P910a  
Program packages, for example, games, can also be downloaded  
to your P910a from the Internet or from a Memory Stick. When  
downloading a file from the Internet, the installation will start  
automatically when the file is completely downloaded to your  
P910a. The procedure below describes installation of  
application packages transferred to the P910a but not yet  
installed.  
Note Installation of uncertified applications may cause your  
system to crash and all your data will then be lost.  
MIDP applications run in a protected environment with no  
access to sensitive information so no signatures are required for  
MIDP JAR files.

beaming, it is necessary that you first set up a permanent and  
trusted relationship between your P910a and the other device.  
This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to  
it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your  
P910a even after you have turned it off so you do not need to  
repeat the process for every connection with those devices. The  
reason for pairing is to simplify future connections and to make  
them secure – only paired devices can connect to your P910a.  
2. Set the other device to be on or discoverable.  
3. In the Devices tab, tap Add. Your P910a searches for all  
devices in the vicinity and lists them.  
All enabled devices that are visible to others within range,  
are shown with their name and icon. You can use Show: to

Tip You can change the name of a paired device. When you pair  
with other Bluetooth wireless technology enabled phones, it is  
very useful to include the user's name as part of the device  
name. This will make it very easy to beam information to the  
desired recipients.  
Passcodes  
Passcodes ensure that the device you pair with really is the  
device you think it is. A passcode is a set of numbers and/or  
letters (at least four characters) that you agree to exchange with  
the owner of the other device. Simply agree a passcode with the  
other user and each enter the same code into both devices when  
asked for it. The actual code is up to you; the important thing is  
that you both enter the same code. Accessories like headsets  
often have a default passcode, usually ‘0000’, see the specific  
user guide.  
To let a headphone initiate pairing with your P910a  
1. Check that the device you want to pair with your P910a:  
– Is on and within range.  
– Has its Bluetooth function activated and that it is in  
visible mode.  
2. In Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings, set

P910a CD, delivered with your P910a.  
Themes control the colour of screen and text, the icons, and the  
background picture, the wallpaper. Sound themes control the  
notification alerts. Four themes are pre-loaded in the P910a.  
Extra themes can be found on the Multimedia for P910a CD  
where you also can use the themes editor to modify the themes  
or create new.  
You can obtain suitable background picture files by  
downloading, MMS, beaming using Bluetooth or infrared, or  
transferring them using a cable from your PC.  
Background picture images are 208 x 144 pixels and the picture  
can be seen in the standby screen. (Any chosen picture will be  
scaled to fit the screen). The images can be JPEG, GIF, BMP,  
WBMP, MBM or PNG format.

The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS  
addresses.  
For some accounts you may need to make advanced settings,  
provided by your ISP. Select Advanced and enter settings on the  
tabs as described below  
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet  
Service Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your  
P910a uses to connect to the Internet. Your P910a can  
normally fetch these addresses automatically from  
most ISPs.  
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot  
connect to the Internet and you suspect these  
addresses are incorrect, ask your ISP for their  
primary and secondary DNS addresses.  
An IP address consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid  
input is between 000 and 255 in each box.  
GPRS Advanced tabs  
Server  
User name and password  
Normally, you do not have to enter a username and  
password when you connect to a GPRS account.  
However, some service providers may require you to  
enter these details.  
If you select the Username and password required  
check box, but do not enter a username and  
password, you will be prompted to enter these when  
the P910a connects.  
Proxy  
Other  
A proxy server is a computer connected between  
your P910a and the computer you communicate with.  
This arrangement can be used for connections to  
Remote Sync servers, or within a company network.  
If this setting is needed, your company's Information  
Services department or Remote Sync provider must  
give you instructions.  
Address  
Enter the Internet address of your access point. The  
address is supplied by your service provider.  
If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP)  
extensions, you can select the Enable PPP extensions  
check box. PPP extensions allow your P910a to  
provide features such as encryption, which increases  
the security of your Internet connection.

Preferred mode (bearer preference)  
Please note that your P910a can be used for either voice (or  
GSM data) calls or transferring GPRS data, but not both at the  
same time. It may, however, still be connected to GPRS. As an  
example, during GPRS data transfer (Icon:

may not receive incoming calls. As soon as the transfer stops  
(Icon: ) incoming calls will be accepted.  
The Messaging accounts dialog has four tabs, one for each type  
of messaging account:  
Email  
You can have any number of email accounts. To receive  
and send email, you must first set up an Internet account  
(if one is not already set up). See ‘Internet accounts’ on  
page 153.  
Setting the Preferred mode lets you choose how you want to use  
your P910a:  
Select GPRS only if you do not want to be disturbed by  
incoming phone calls while browsing the Web. All incoming  
voice (and GSM data) calls are rejected. If you disconnect  
from the Internet, incoming calls can be received. Outgoing  
calls are possible, except during data transfer. This mode is  
useful if you are using sensitive Internet services, such as  
banking.  
SMS  
MMS  
You can only have one SMS (Short Message Service)  
account.The settings on this tab also apply to EMS  
(Extended Message Service) messages.  
You can only have one MMS (Multimedia Messaging  
Service) account. To receive MMS messages you must  
first set up Internet and WAP accounts (if not already set  
up). See‘Internet accounts’ on page 153.  
If you select GSM only, your P910a will not be connected to  
the GPRS network. If you choose to download email or  
browse the Web, your P910a will connect to GPRS only as  
long as is needed for the data connection.  
Area  
You can only have one Area info account. The number of  
Area Information channels that you can subscribe to is  
limited by the space on your SIM.  
If you select Automatic, your P910a will let you answer  
incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS  
functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily  
interrupted by a voice call.  
Tip A simple way of setting up an email or multimedia message  
account is to ask your service provider to send you a message  
that contains the required information to create an account  
automatically on your P910a.

Getting started with Internet and Messages  
Connection type  
Introduction  
When your P910a connects to a service provider, it will use a  
GSM or GPRS network provided by a network operator. Many  
network operators offer both GPRS and GSM services.  
Before you can use  
Internet and  
Messages to access the  
Internet and send or receive messages, you will need to make  
some user-specific settings in the  
Control Panel.  
The connection type defines which network your account uses  
to connect to the Internet. GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS  
network, and Dial-Up Internet accounts use the GSM network.  
Service provider  
You will need a service provider to connect your P910a to the  
network.The service provider could be:  
GPRS  
If your network operator supports GPRS, a GPRS Internet  
account allows you to:  
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) which connects you to the  
Internet.  
An access point provided by your network operator.  
Remain permanently connected to the Internet without being  
charged for connection time. With a GPRS account, you are  
charged for the amount of information you view, download  
or send when your are connected to the Internet. Check your  
operator for details of your subscription.  
A private service provider such as your company or your  
bank.  
You will need to enter specific service provider details into your  
P910a to set up an Internet account. It can hold the details of  
multiple service providers, for example, you may have separate  
Internet and corporate accounts.  
Avoid having to reconnect to the Internet if the connection is  
broken.  
Dial-Up  
Your network operator or retailer may have pre-installed  
services, check with them.  
For both Dial-Up and High-Speed Dial-Up accounts, you are  
charged for the length of time you are connected. If your  
network operator supports them, you can increase your  
connection speed (at a cost) by setting up a high-speed account.

than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your MMS  
messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and another  
to access your bank's WAP service.  
Using your P910a as a modem  
Your P910a contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you  
can use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate  
intranet.Your P910a appears to the laptop like a normal modem.  
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P910a is  
automatically, through your service provider. Check your  
service provider's Web site for information or contact their  
support desk and ask about automatic setup. You can also find  
more information, and settings for many operators on:  
http://www.SonyEricsson.com/support.  
You link the laptop to your P910a using Bluetooth wireless  
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection  
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P910a  
supports:

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
Please read this information before using your mobile phone.  
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR  
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned  
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or  
radio frequency fields).  
Recommendations  
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.  
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.  
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.  
• Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.  
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.  
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety  
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International  
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of  
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough  
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio  
wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin  
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to  
account for any variations in measurements.  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio  
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR  
value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions,  
but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below  
this value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power  
required to reach the network.  
• Do not paint your product.  
• Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission.  
• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas posted "turn off  
two-way radio".  
• Do not use your product in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere  
exists.  
• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above your  
car's air bag.  
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that  
there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among  
mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to meet radio  
frequency exposure guidelines.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised  
personnel should perform service.  
Antenna  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and  
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the  
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in  
positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the  
FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and  
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of  
15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when  
used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn accessory intended for this phone.  
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure  
guidelines.  
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your  
mobile phone. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your  
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR  
levels above the recommended limits (see below).  
Efficient use  
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the top of the  
phone when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate  
at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.  
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile phone model is included  
with the material that comes with this mobile phone. This information can also be  
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
183  
         
found, together with more information on radio frequency exposure and SAR, on:  
www.sonyericsson.com.  
Power Supply  
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources as marked on the  
product. Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage  
or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source  
before attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must not be used outdoors or  
in damp areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet,  
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Driving  
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use of mobile phones while  
driving or require drivers to use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use  
only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with your  
product. Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,  
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles  
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the installation.  
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making  
or answering a call if driving conditions so require.  
Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection  
under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile  
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).  
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local  
service provider.  
Personal Medical Devices  
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other  
implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,  
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place it at the ear  
opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept  
between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If  
you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn  
off your mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more information.  
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.  
Battery Use and Care  
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your mobile phone  
for the first time. The battery should only be charged in temperatures between  
+5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).  
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time could have reduced  
capacity the first few times it is used.  
The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission conditions when  
using the mobile phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base station, less power  
is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.  
Children  
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR  
ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR  
COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR  
ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY  
CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A  
CHOKING HAZARD.
