SIM card
Battery
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 phonebook 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.

3. Place the battery in the battery
compartment and close the
cover.
Open the battery cover by pressing slightly 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 Dialing Numbers (FDN). To avoid problems
when traveling 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 105.

Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in
one application is not visible in another.
For each application there is a default Unfiled folder. Since there
is no way of seeing on your P910a, whether a file in an Unfiled

recommend that you move files to your own folders as soon as
possible.
General functions
Application launcher views
Every item created in an application is always assigned to a
single folder, by default the folder as displayed in the list view.
In flip open, the P910a can present the applications in two ways:
•
•
List view (small icons appear in one column)
Icon view (large icons appear in two columns)
In list view, the folder menu is used to organize your entries. In
detail view, the folder menu allows you to change the folder of
the current item.
Folders
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 used to organize information, for example contacts,
jotter entries, or task lists. You might want to organize your
contacts in business and personal folders.
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.
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.
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

have set the device lock to activate at Power on. Otherwise your
P910a will be unprotected after Power on, until the screen saver

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.

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

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

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.

Connection via Bluetooth
wireless technology
You can connect your P910a to other products equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs, car handsfree
devices, or other mobile phones, and exchange data. Since
Bluetooth wireless technology is radio-based, there does not
have to be a free line of sight between transmitting and receiving
devices. This means that your P910a can stay in your pocket
while communicating. However, items between transmitting and
receiving devices might weaken the signal.
The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode can also be
changed with the flip closed, through the Connections
application. When the Bluetooth wireless technology is
activated,
appears on the screen and the left indicator light
on top of your P910a flashes blue.
Connection to another device can be made within a range of up
to 10 meters. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will
have an effect on the performance. For all tasks, except
Pairing
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.
To let your P910a initiate pairing with another device, such as

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.

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

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

Authentication is used by some network operators to
identify the mobile phone connecting to their GPRS
network. There are different methods, or protocols,
for doing this.
For some accounts you may also need to make advanced
settings.
Normal: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).
The user's username and password are transmitted
over the network in an unencrypted form.

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 155.
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 155.
•
•
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
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.
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 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.

Please read this information before using your mobile phone.
antennas could damage your mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing
loss of performance and SAR levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Note Important: to avoid hearing impairment, answer call or lower volume before
placing this product to your ear.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson
authorised personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony
Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of unauthorised or modified

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.
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/.
Disposing of the Product
Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. Please
check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
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
Battery Use and Care
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.
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.
• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
Children
• Use only Ericsson or 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.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE
PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT
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.
