product. Always insert the adapter in the slot with the connector
end (marked with a triangle) first.
For information on how to copy and move data to and from the
Memory Stick, refer to ‘Folders’ on page 29.
Formatting a Memory Stick
The phone stops working during the formatting and it can take
some time.
Compatibility
The P910i defines its own folder structure on a Memory Stick.
Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in
one application is not visible in another.
Note Do not remove a Memory Stick during the formatting. If
removed it will be unusable
Other devices must access the same folder structure to interact
with the P910i 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

Using the folder menu
In the applications that use folders you can see the folder menu
to the right in the menu bar.
Folders are also used when managing files of different types on
your P910i 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 P910i, 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 P910i to a PC and view
the contents of your P910i in My P910i, 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

For each application there is a default Unfiled folder. Since there

You can choose to have to unlock the SIM card every time you

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 P910i
will ask for the PIN code every time you turn it on. You unlock
the SIM card by entering the PIN code.

The device lock protects your P910i 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
P910i is not normally locked. However, if the SIM has been
changed, the P910i asks you to enter the code to unlock the
P910i before you can use it. This means that if someone steals
your P910i 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 P910i. You can
change the device lock code to any four to eight digit personal
code.
The default device lock code is 0000.

Remote folders
Handling text messages
If you have selected connection type IMAP for your email
account, you can subscribe to remote folders on your email
server. (To select connection type, see “Email account basic tab
settings” on page 168.) By default you subscribe to an Inbox
folder.
A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non-Latin
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but will usually be
received as one message. If you add pictures, sounds and other
items to your message it becomes an EMS message.
Note If you change connection type, your Inbox will be emptied.
Use the Get&send command to download your messages again.
See “Get and send” on page 102.
Text messages can be sent to one or more people (not more than
thirty, we recommend), and you can request a delivery report
when your text messages have been delivered to the recipients.
The delivery report arrives on your P910i as a text message.
To subscribe to a new remote folder
1. From the folder menu, select Subscribe
2. Select the check box for the folders you wish to subscribe to.
3. Tap Done
.
If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically
be stored in the Draft folder (unless you edit a message which
was already located in Outbox).
.
The new folders are shown in the folder list. Your subscribed
folders will be shown in a flat structure, that is, subfolders will
be shown on the same level as main folders. Use the Get&send
command to download messages from the folders you have
subscribed to.

Saving contact details
When you receive a message, you can save the contact details of
the person who sent you the message.
If your service provider or network is
unavailable
Sometimes a message cannot be sent because your P910i cannot
connect to a network. Please check that the Messaging Account
and Internet Account information in the Control Panel is correct.
To save the sender’s details
On the message’s
address tab, select From.
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.
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 P910i.
Synchronized email
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for
synchronized email messages is automatically created on your
P910i and indicated by
. You can have more than one
account for synchronized email, but only one per PC. If you
send an email as PC mail, the mail will be sent via the PC when
you have synchronized your P910i with the PC.
Connecting and disconnecting from the
Internet
If you set up a POP or IMAP account which accesses the same
mail server, the two accounts will contain the same messages.
Note that there is no connection between the accounts; the
copies in each account are separate.
To disconnect from the Internet

Area information
Area information messages are text messages that are sent to all
subscribers in a certain network area, for example, a local traffic
report. When you receive an area information message, the
message automatically appears on the screen. When you dismiss
the information, it will be stored in the Area info Inbox until it is
replaced by a new message received on the same channel.
Please consult your service provider for more information about
the availability of area information services and area
information channel numbering. See ‘‘Area tab’ on page 172 for

Installing applications on your
P910i
There are two types of installation files for applications:
•
SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910i 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
P910i 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 P910i supports
cryptographic verification of vendor identity.
•
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 P910i.
This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for
example, system components and add-ons.
During installation the P910i 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
SIS file and that the content has not been modified after it was

third-party developers, might be possible to install in the P910i.

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.
Download to the P910i begins.
5. Installation starts when the download is complete.
From the P910i
Program packages, for example, games, can also be downloaded
to your P910i 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
P910i. The procedure below describes installation of application
packages transferred to the P910i 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.
See ‘To download and upload files, for example, applications’
on page 84 for information about how to download files from
the Internet.

trusted relationship between your P910i and the other device.
This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to
it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your
P910i 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 P910i.

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 P910i
1. Check that the device you want to pair with your P910i:
– 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
Bluetooth to On

you can also carry out most of them by selecting Start > Programs
> Sony Ericsson > P910i in the PC and then select the desired
command.
Email, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Jotter notes (only text)
can be synchronized locally.
Refer to the online help find in Help in the menu bar in the PC
software to get more information about synchronization and
backup.
Local synchronization settings
Local synchronization is initiated from the PC and all settings
are made in the P910i PC software (included on the Sony
Ericsson PC Suite CD).
Note If you have imported SIM phone book entries into Contacts
in your P910i, these entries will not be synchronized with the
corresponding entries in your PC when synchronizing your
P910i and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P910i.

Connection type
When your P910i 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.
Introduction
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 P910i 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
P910i 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.

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).
Note Important: to avoid hearing impairment, answer call or lower volume before
placing this product to your ear.
Recommendations
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electri-
cal and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave expo-
sure 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.
• 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.
• Do not paint your product.
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 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.
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.
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
found, together with more information on radio frequency exposure and SAR, on:
www.SonyEricsson.com.
• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above your
car’s airbag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorized
personnel should perform any service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your
mobile phone. Use of unauthorized 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).
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 Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with your product. Please
note that because of possible interference with other equipment, some vehicle
manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree
kit with an external antenna supports the installation.
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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
192
This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
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 net-
work services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local ser-
vice 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 oppo-
site 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.
Battery Use and Care
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your mobile phone
for the first time. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C
(+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.
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.
Children
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.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. How-
ever, it will eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When the talk-time or
standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
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 ACCESSO-
RIES. YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND ITS ACCESSORIES MAY CONTAIN
SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
Disposing of the Product
• Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries and chargers
intended for use with your mobile phone. Other chargers may
not charge sufficiently or may produce excessive heat. Using
other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Power Supply
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
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 the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power
source before attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must not be used out-
doors or in damp areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the
