OVERVIEW
Introduction
For ease of reference, the ‘Getting to know your P900’ chapter
provides a quick overview of the main functions of the phone,
shortcuts and general information.
Your P900 combines advanced business and entertainment
features in one intuitive device.
Its integrated 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.
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) allows you to send and
receive messages that include pictures, sound, text and voice
notes.
The P900 features advanced entertainment functionality that
offers high-quality MP3 music and widescreen format video
clips and 3D games. New content can be downloaded quickly
and easily from Web sites or transferred to the phone via
Bluetooth™ Wireless Technology, an infrared port or a cable.
Extra memory is available via the Memory Stick® Duo™, which
also serves as a convenient way to exchange content and
applications such as Java™ games.
The P900 can be used as a corporate phone with Ericsson
MD110® and Business Phone® exchanges.
The P900 also contains an organizer,
which includes contacts, a calendar,
notes and email, all of which can be
quickly and efficiently synchronized
with a PC. The email application
supports attachments. Viewers let you
read documents in various formats,
such as Microsoft® Word, Excel and
PowerPoint.

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.
A PIN (Personal Identity Number)
code is supplied with the SIM card
from your operator and must be
entered when switching on your P900.
Open the battery cover and insert the
SIM card as shown in the picture.
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.
For more information. see ‘Copying contacts to and from the
SIM card’ on page 100.
Battery
Before using your P900 for the first time, charge the battery
provided for at least 4 hours. Use the supplied charger. See
‘Charging the battery’ on page 12.
Insertion and removal
To insert the battery
1. Ensure that the Flip is closed.
2. Remove the battery cover by
sliding it downward.
3. Place the battery in the
battery compartment and
close the cover.
To remove the battery
1. Ensure that your P900 is
turned off.
Note It is important to always turn off your P900 before
removing the battery. Failure to do so can result in loss of
information.
2. Remove the battery cover by sliding it downward.
3. Use your fingernail at the lower lefthand edge of the battery
to gently lift the lower edge of the battery outward.
4. Remove the battery.
12 Getting to know your P900
Charging the battery
• When the battery needs to be charged, the phone beeps. The
indicator light (on the top of your P900) flashes red and a
battery low message appears on the screen.
• The battery can be charged at any time. The P900's
performance is not affected. However, using your P900 while
charging increases the charging time.
To charge the battery
The P900 can be charged either when it is switched on or off.
1. Make sure the battery is inserted in your P900 and the cover
is closed.
2. Connect the charger to

Tip You can also use other battery chargers that have been
supplied with other Sony Ericsson phones using the same
connector plug, for example, T68i or T300.
Note When the battery is completely discharged, or new, it may
take up to 30 minutes before the battery charging icon appears
on the screen.
4. Wait approximately 4 hours or until the battery meter on the
screen is full and the indicator on the top of the P900 shows a
steady green light.
5. Remove the charger by tilting
the plug upward.

Memory Stick
®
Duo™
The Memory Stick Duo provides a convenient way of increasing
the storage space in your P900. You can save still images, video
clips, music, and voice recordings as well as computer data and
applications on a Memory Stick Duo and use it to store or
transfer the contents for many different purposes. These include:
• Storing backup copies of important files.
• Storing media for personalizing your P900.
• Storing media for use when composing MMS messages.
• Storing installation files for new applications.
• Transferring data between the P900 and a PC or Mac.
• Providing storage for third-party applications.
To insert the Memory Stick Duo
1. Open the cover for the Memory
Stick Duo slot.
2. Insert the Memory Stick Duo in
the slot, with the connector side
toward the back (see picture).
Make sure it is securely inserted.
A click should be heard.
Note Insert the Memory Stick Duo
correctly to avoid damaging your
P900 or the Memory Stick Duo.
The Memory Stick Duo supplied with the P900 may or may not
be a version that contains the lock function. Remember, you can
overwrite existing files without the lock function.
To remove the Memory Stick Duo
Press the edge of the Memory Stick Duo using your fingernail or
the stylus to release it. You hear a click as it jumps out of the
slot.
Note Be careful when removing the Memory Stick Duo to avoid
dropping it.
Renaming a Memory Stick Duo
You can rename a Memory Stick Duo to give it a name that is
meaningful to you. The name you set will be shown in the
divider between internal and external storage in the folder menu.
See ‘Folders’ on page 27. There are two ways to rename a
Memory Stick Duo:
• Select
Control Panel > Other > Format disk
and tap
Rename
.
See ‘Format disk’ on page 158.
• Select
File manager > File > Format disk
and tap

Reformatting a Memory Stick Duo
If you need to reformat a Memory Stick Duo, select
Control
Panel > Other > Format disk
, or select
File manager > File > Format
disk
. When you reformat a disk, you delete all the information
on it, including any applications that you may have installed.
Sharing data with other devices
Your P900 uses the shorter memory stick variant, Memory Stick
Duo.
Memory Stick Duo Adapter
Use the Memory Stick Duo adapter when using your Memory
Stick Duo in a device equipped with a regular-sized Memory
Stick, for example a personal computer. Insert your Memory
Stick Duo according to the picture on the adapter.
Warning! Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo adapter without a
Memory Stick Duo into a Memory Stick slot. This may damage
the product. Always insert the adapter in the slot with the
connector end (marked with a triangle) first.
Compatibility
The P900 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.
Other devices must access the same folder structure to interact
with the P900 files. If you are using a PC, this is easily done by
browsing to the required folder on the Memory Stick.
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 P900 (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 P900 is
connected to your PC, you also have access to the P900 folder
structure as well as other Memory Stick Duo content in
My P900
.
Personal computer support
Both PCs and Apple computers may be enabled for Memory
Stick use via built-in Memory Stick slots, Floppy Disk adapters,
PC card adapters, and Memory Stick-enabled mouses. (Memory
Stick Duo Adapter required.)
For more information about the Sony Memory Stick, visit

General functions
Application launcher views
In Flip open, the P900 can present the applications in two ways:
• List view (small icons appear in one column)
• Icon view (large icons appear in two columns)
Folders
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.
Folders are also used when managing files of different types on
your P900 and Memory Stick Duo. You might want to move or
copy sound files into a sound track folder to store on a Memory
Stick Duo.
As you may notice, if you connect your P900 to a PC and view
the contents of your P900 in
My P900
, 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.
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 P900 whether a file in an
Unfiled
folder is located on your P900 or on a Memory Stick, we
recommend that you move files to your own folders as soon as
possible.
Every item created in an application is always assigned to a
single folder, by default the same folder as displayed in the list
view.
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.
Using the folder menu
In the applications that use folders, you can see the folder menu
to the right in the menu bar.
When a Memory Stick Duo is available in the P900, the folders
on it are shown in the folder menu under the divider. If you
rename the disk (see ‘Renaming a Memory Stick Duo’ on
page 21), the divider will show the new name.
In list view, there is a superfolder 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.

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.
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.
You cannot change the PUK code.
PIN2
Some functions on the SIM card can be protected by a
secondary code feature. Some SIM cards do not have a PIN2
lock.
The PIN2 lock cannot be deactivated. The code can be changed
by a user who knows the old code.
Device lock
The device lock protects your P900 and the data in it against
unauthorized use.
36 Getting to know your P900
If the device lock is set to
When SIM changed
, it means that the
P900 is not normally locked. However, if the SIM has been
changed, the P900 asks you to enter the code to unlock the P900
before you can use it. This means that if someone steals your
P900 and puts another SIM card into it, they will not be able to
use it.
Note Your operator can block your SIM, if you report that your
phone has been stolen.
The device lock is not on when you buy your P900. You can
change the device lock code to any four to eight digit personal
code.
The default device lock code is 0000.

Control panel > Device >
Display > Screen > Screen saver device lock
to have the device lock
activated when the screen saver goes on.
Note When using the screen saving device lock, make sure you

Phone
The P900 is a fully featured cellphone with complete integration
with the other functions of the device, including applications
from developers outside Sony Ericsson, so-called third-party
applications.
The phone includes useful features such as:
• personalized ringtones.
• Picture phone book
• Quick access back to the entry in Contacts, making it easy to
try an alternative number or send an email if the contact is
unavailable or busy.
• Voice dialing – make a call by speaking the contact’s name.
• Voice answer – an incoming call may be answered or sent a
busy signal, using the words recorded for ‘answer’ and
‘busy’.
• Access to other applications while talking on the phone.
• Office hands-free (speakerphone) which is enabled when the
Flip is open, making it easy to access applications such as
Calendar and Jotter while talking.
• Flight mode, which enables the P900 to be used as a PDA in
situations where radio transmitters may not be used. The
GSM and Bluetooth transmitters (and receivers) are switched
off.
With the Flip closed, you can access most of the functions using
Jog Dial and the keypad. More advanced tasks, such as handling
conference calls or using other applications during a call, are
best handled with the Flip open.
The P900 supports Customer Service Profile (CSP). This means
that some options may be hidden, depending on your
subscription.

Corporate phone services in P900
The P900 can be used as a corporate phone in an Ericsson
MD110® or Business Phone® PBX, if this is equipped for
mobile extensions.
To place calls to colleagues, use the internal extension numbers.
When dialing an external number, you do not need to dial the
external line prefix; it is added automatically. Dial the
switchboard operator or corporate voicemail as from any other
corporate phone.
It is recommended that when storing numbers in Contacts you
use the international number format, starting with
+
. This also
allows you to use the Contact card when you do not use the
PBX, when you are abroad, and when you are sending SMS or
MMS messages.
If you know what numbers and codes your PBX accepts, you
can send these without the phone manipulating them. Start any
number or command with a
p
. This is done by pressing and
holding the key. When storing such a number on a
Contact card, it should be stored with a leading
p
, and a
command (to the PBX or for example to a phone bank) with a
leading
pc
.
When using it at home, the call is still dialed as an internal call
via the PBX.
Note When traveling abroad, use your phone as a normal GSM
phone, by clicking the PBX status bar icon and set the calling
card to Off.

50 Phone
Incoming calls via the PBX may
be routed to the P900 as well as
to your fixed extension, and you
can answer with either phone.
During a call, the P900 can
activate PBX features, such as
making a new call, conference
calls, inquiry calls, and callback.
When the phone is idle, click the

In meeting until..., Course, or
Business trip.
Your PBX administrator controls call routing, feature buttons
and commands in your phone via the settings file.
Preferences
In this menu, you can change the settings for the phone options.
(Settings on your P900 that are systemwide and affect more than
one application are made from the Control panel, see ‘Control
panel’ on page 139).
To set the phone preferences
1. Select
Phone > Edit > Preferences.
2. Select the item to set up.
Incoming call picture
If an incoming caller has a picture stored in contacts, it is
displayed on the screen. Select the checkbox to show a large
version of the picture over the whole screen.
Voice control
The voice control option lets you manage calls using your voice.
With Voice answer you can use words recorded for ‘answer’ and
‘busy’ to answer or send a busy signal to an incoming call. With
Voice dialing, you can make a call by speaking the contact’s
name.
Speak a ‘magic word’ and then the name of the person you want
to call, and the P900 attempts to call the person. Instead of the
magic word, you can also press and hold Jog Dial or press the
hands-free set call button.
Note The magic word is not supported by the Bluetooth
headset/car kit in the P900. Instead of the magic word, push the
button on the Bluetooth headset. After a confirmation tone, you
should speak the name.
The magic word ensures that the P900 will not call somebody
whose name has just been mentioned by chance.

then be set up automatically on your P900. To guarantee the
integrity of the settings, a PIN may be used.
For security reasons, some WAP pages and services, for
example online banking, can only be accessed from a particular
WAP account. See ‘WAP accounts’ on page 156 for more
information.

Solitaire
Solitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards
and up to 4 Jokers.
The purpose of Solitaire is to remove all the cards from the piles
to the layout card whilst scoring as many points as possible.
82 Games
Points are awarded for playing pile cards and bonus points are
awarded for unbroken, ascending or descending runs of four or
more rank cards.
When you cannot play any more cards and cards still remain in
the piles, the game is over. If all the pile cards are removed,
bonus points are awarded, and the hand is won. You are then
challenged to play a Hi/Low game to acquire more bonus points.
After the challenge, the game continues and a new hand is dealt
with one less Joker.
Rules
When the game starts, 35 cards are dealt from the deck into
7 piles of 5 cards. A further card is then dealt face up from the
layout card.
• Cards can only be played from the bottom of the piles.
• To play a pile card, it must have a face value of one more or
one less than the layout card.
• Aces are low and may not be played onto kings. Jokers can
be played onto any card, and any card can be played onto a
joker.
Play Solitaire
Solitaire is only available with the Flip open.
1. Select the icon for Solitaire.
The game will either start with a new game or with the layout
for an earlier, interrupted game. (The game data are saved on
return to desktop, when the Flip is closed or when the battery

Messaging 83
BUSINESS
Messaging
With
Messaging,
you can create, send, and receive different
types of messages:
You also use
Messaging
to receive:
• Area Information messages.These are text messages
broadcast to all subscribers in a network area, for example,
local road reports or local taxi phone numbers. (Area
Information services are not available from all operators).
• BIO (Bearer-Independent Object) messages. There are
different types of messages:
– Setup (email, Internet, WAP accounts).
– Email notifications.
– Files for exchanging electronic business cards (vCard) and
calendar information (vCal).
• Auto setup files for OTA (Over-The-Air) configuration.
• Beamed messages. These are files received via infrared or
Bluetooth wireless technology.
The different types of messages are handled by separate
messaging accounts. Select
Control panel > Connections >
Messaging accounts
to see the details of the messaging accounts
on your P900.
You can have any number of email accounts - a typical
configuration will be one business and one personal account.
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for
synchronized emails is automatically created on your P900.
With the Flip closed, text and multimedia messages can be sent
and received using Jog Dial and the keypad. More advanced
tasks, however, are best handled with the Flip open.
SMS (Short Message Service) messages are text
messages sent and received via the network operator's
message center. When a text message has pictures,
sounds, ringtones and animations inserted, it becomes
an EMS (Enhanced Message Service).
MMS (Multimedia Message Service) messages.
A multimedia message can contain text, graphics,
animations, photographic images, audio clips and
ringtones.
Email messages. Your P900’s mail client supports POP3
and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and
SMTP for sending mail.
84 Messaging
Before using Messaging
Before you can send and receive any messages (except for
SMS), you need to set up the necessary accounts.
A simple way of setting up an Internet or email account is to ask
your service provider to send you a message that contains the
required information to create an account automatically on your
P900. You can also use the Web configurator on
www.SonyEricsson.com. Received auto-configuration messages
are stored in the
Auto setup
inbox.
See ‘Getting started with Internet and Messaging’ on page 163.
Folders in Messaging
Messaging accounts can have the following folders:
Inbox
,
Outbox
,
Draft
and
Sent
.
Inbox
The Inbox contains received messages. You can reply to,
forward, and delete messages, but not edit them.
Outbox
Outbox contains messages that are ready to be sent. If you are
creating several emails, and not using GPRS, you can reduce
connection time by saving them to
Outbox
and then connect and
send them all at the same time.
To save an email message to the Outbox
1. After composing your message, select
Send.
2. Select
Save to outbox.
Messages that you send from an email synchronization account
are always saved to
Outbox
and sent from your PC after your
next synchronization.
Draft
Draft contains messages that are not ready to be sent.
To store a new message in Draft
Create the message and exit without selecting
Send
.
To move a message from the Outbox to Draft
Open the Outbox message list and select
Message > Move
to Draft
.
Sent
Sent contains messages you have sent from your P900.
Tip Regularly delete old messages from your
Sent
folder,
especially those with attachments, to clear storage space.
Messaging 85
The accounts in Messaging
When you open Messaging, a list of your accounts appears.
The top items in the list,
Create SMS,
and
Create MMS,
are
shortcuts for directly creating new text messages (SMS or
EMS).
An asterisk next to an account indicates that a message has
arrived since you last opened the accounts inbox.
Handling text messages
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 usually
received as one message. If you add pictures, sounds and other

Handling multimedia messages
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include
real pictures, animations and sound, organized like a slide
presentation with time-based playback control. Composing a
multimedia message is like building a small slide presentation.
A typical page will consist of a picture, some text and sound.
Refer to Technical data, section ‘MMS’ on page 189 for
supported file types that you can add.
You can take a picture with the CommuniCorder and send it as a
multimedia message using the
Send as
command from Pictures.
Multimedia messages can be sent to a phone or an email
account.
How a recipient receives an MMS you send depends on your
MMS service and how the receiving phone complies with MMS
specifications:
• Compliant and conformant phones can receive pictures of
size 160x120 pixels.
• Compliant and nonconformant phones can receive pictures
of almost any size.
• Partly compliant phones can read the message on the
Internet, using WAP.
• Noncompliant phones will receive an SMS notification.

124 Installing applications
Installing applications
It is possible to install new applications in your P900. These
applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:
• from the Internet.
•from a CD.
• from a Memory Stick Duo.
• as an email attachment.
• from other devices.
There are two types of installation files for applications:
• SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P900 or other
Sony Ericsson devices.
• MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java
Archive).
Note SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one
or several files.
This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for
example, system components and add-ons.
Applications from developers outside Sony Ericsson, so-called
third-party developers, might be able to be installed in the P900.
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
warranty.
Installing applications on your
P900
Installation file security
Installation files in SIS format are typically used for installation
of Epoc or PersonalJava ™ applications or other content into the
P900 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 know for
sure who produced the SIS file then you can take an installation
decision based on what you know about that vendor. Your P900
supports cryptographic verification of vendor identity.
During installation the P900 verifies a digital signature and
certificate in the SIS file against a root certificate in the phone.
Successful verification means that you can trust who produced
the SIS file and that the content has not been modified after it
was created. If the SIS file does not contain a digital signature,
Installing applications 125
you will be given a warning about the problem, but you can still
decide to proceed with 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.
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.

Connection via Bluetooth
wireless technology
You can connect your P900 to other products equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs or other
cellphones, and exchange data. Since Bluetooth wireless
technology is radio-based, there is no need for a free line of
sight between transmitting and receiving devices. This means
that your P900 can remain in your pocket while communicating.
However, objects located between transmitting and receiving
devices may weaken the signal.
Connection to another device can be performed at a range of up
to 10 meters. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will
affect the performance. For all tasks, except beaming, it is
necessary that you first set up a permanent and trusted
relationship between your P900 and the other device. This
process is called pairing. (Other documentation may refer to it
as bonding.) The paired devices are remembered by your P900
even after you have turned it off, so you do not need to repeat
the process for every connection to those devices. The reason
for pairing is to simplify future connections and make them
secure; only paired devices can connect to your P900.
Activating Bluetooth wireless technology
Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P900 in
Control
panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
.
Set
Operation mode
to
On
,
and set if your P900 should be
Visible by other devices
or not. See
‘Bluetooth’ on page 145 for more information on Bluetooth
wireless technology settings.
The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode can also be
changed with the Flip closed, using the
Connections
application.
When the Bluetooth wireless technology is activated,
appears on the screen and the left indicator on top of your P900
flashes blue.
Pairing
To make your P900 initiate pairing with another device, such
as a headset

P900.
WAP accounts are intended for multimedia messages and for
accessing the Internet through a WAP gateway. (Such gateways
make use of proxy port 9200-9203.) All other proxy settings
should be included in your Internet accounts.
For security reasons, some WAP pages and services, for
example online banking, can only be accessed from a particular
WAP account.
The dialog has two tabs:
Basic
and
Preferred.
Basic tab
The dialog displays a list of all the WAP accounts on your P900.
You can add a
New
account to the list and
Edit
or

THER
TAB
The other tab contains all settings that are not related to the
device or connections. This is also where settings from system
components and add-ons, developed by third-party developers,
can be found.
Certificate manager
Digital certificates ensure that the Web or WAP pages you visit,
or any software you install, really are created by the person you
expect.
Certificates may be present on the pages you view or the
software you download. Your P900 compares these certificates
with a set of certificates stored in
Certificate manager
to ensure the
authenticity of the page or software. If the certificates do not
match, your P900 informs you, and gives you the following
choices:
• Prevent the page being loaded or the software being installed.
• Continue at your own risk.
The certificates on your P900 have been created and issued by
an independent organization that ensures their authenticity.
158 Control panel
Security information
Security information is displayed when
Certificate manager
cannot be sure of the origin of the page or software. For
example, security information will be displayed if:
• The certificate on a page has expired.
• The identity of a software manufacturer cannot be verified.
Security information is also displayed when a certificate on your
P900 has:
• Expired.
• Been revoked by the independent organization that issued it.
Adding and deleting certificates
Your P900 handles certificates automatically so, most of the
time, you can browse the Internet securely without using
Certificate manager
. If you do need to add or delete a certificate,
you will usually be informed by your network operator or
system administrator. You should delete a certificate from
Certificate manager
if you are informed, or suspect, that:
• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.
• The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent
organization that created it.
Type of certificate
The type can be either
User
or
Certificate Authority
.
•
User
certificates contain your identity. This type of certificate
is used when the server asks for client authentication. The
client application requests you to identify yourself by
choosing a user certificate.
•
Certificate Authority
certificates contain server details. This
type of certificate is handled by your P900 when the server
only requires server authentication. This means that your
identity remains anonymous.
Flip removed
This dialog lets you enable the use of the Virtual flip when the
flip of your P900 has been removed, see ‘Virtual flip’ on
page 17.
Format disk
This dialog primarily lets you rename and format any Memory
Stick Duo that you install in your P900. Your P900 comes with
one Memory Stick Duo.
Control panel 159
When you format a disk, you delete all the information on it,
including any applications that you may have installed. You also
delete all information placed on it by other devices (these
folders are hidden except in File Manager).
IP security manager
The IP security manager displays stored policies and only one
policy may be activated at a time.This is used for secure
connections over the Internet, typically to a corporate intranet. If
necessary, your company information services department will
supply the necessary information.
There are two types of passwords required:
•IP security password: is to be set when activating the very
first policy, that is, this password is only set once, but it is
possible to change it later at any time by tapping the
Password button.
•Activation password: is required when a policy is activated
for the first time and the supplier of the policy gives this.
Language selection
Use this list of all languages stored on your P900 to change the
language. The highlighted entry is the language presently in use.
You can delete all languages except English.
To conserve storage space, only a limited set of languages is
loaded on your P900 at delivery. When you select one of the
languages from the list, the unused languages in the set are
deleted from the memory of your P900. You can, at any time,
use the
Download Language
utility on the
PC suite for P900
CD to
load and delete languages.The utility will guide you through
downloading the language from your PC or the Internet.
When you have selected a new language, you must turn the
P900 off and then on again for the change to take effect.
Master reset
Use
Master reset
to reset your P900.
Note All user data, as well as preinstalled media files and
application data files (including, for example, wallpapers,
ringtones and pictures), will be deleted and settings will be set
to the state they were, after you selected the language. The
selected local language is restored.
If you have backed up your user data, you can restore it from the
backup, see ‘Restoring data’ on page 135.
You can restore media files and application data files from the
Multimedia for P900 CD, or from the Web.
If you want to keep installed applications, clear the

checkbox.
160 Control panel
Secure tokens
If you need access to a network that requires secure access
(often known as ‘strong authentication’), for example a
corporate intranet, you can set up the Internet account you use to
log into that network to use secure access and generate the
required one-time password when you make the connection.
Your P900 supports the following secure access systems:
• SecureID from RSA
• SafeWord from Secure Computing
It is also possible to add other access systems through third-
party software.
If you have a separate device or application that requires one-
time passwords according to one of these systems, you do not
need a separate hardware token generator (Hard Token). Your
P900 can generate passwords that are not associated with an
Internet account.
You manage secure access in your P900 using Secure Tokens.
Each token is associated with one vendor/system and may be
associated with one or more Internet accounts (or none, when
you use your P900 as a Hard Token). You can configure as many
tokens as needed.
Tip Dialog details when using secure access are vendor, system
and network-specific. You should contact the administrator of
the network you wish to access to obtain the correct
information.
Storage manager
The list shows the applications on your P900 and the space they
occupy. Tapping the
Files
button lets you manage general files
stored internally on the P900 or on a Memory Stick Duo.
Deleting information from applications
To delete information from an application, select an application
in the list. This application is then displayed. Delete the old or
unwanted entries or information.
Here are some maintenance tips for different applications:
• Delete any unwanted recordings as even short ones occupy a
lot of space.

WIM PIN settings
WIM (WAP Identity Module) is used for performing security
functions, especially to store and process information required
for user identification and authentication. It is a tamper-resistant
store for private keys, certificates and other items that may
require a PIN for access or modification.
The
WIM management
dialog consists of a PIN selection list and a
WIM items list.
You can select a PIN from the PIN selection list. The WIM
items list changes content dynamically, displaying only the keys
that are protected by the selected PIN and also have an
associated certificate. Other keys that are protected by the
selected PIN but do not have an associated certificate are not
shown in the WIM item list. This is the case when WIM PIN
(PIN-G) is selected.
Note The PIN-G applies to the whole WIM and any items that
do not have a different PIN. This means that no specific items on
the WIM are linked to PIN-G.
You can change the status of a PIN:
162 Control panel
•Enable PIN A PIN code that is enabled is requested for
authorization of an operation. To proceed with the operation,

Getting started with Internet and Messaging 163
Getting started with Internet and Messaging
Introduction
Before you can use
Internet
and
Messaging
to access the
Internet and send or receive messages, you must make some
user-specific settings in the
Control Panel
.
Service provider
You will need a service provider to connect your P900 to the
network.The service provider could be:
• An Internet Service Provider (ISP) that connects you to the
Internet.
• An access point provided by your network operator.
• A private service provider such as your company or bank.
You will need to enter specific service provider details into your
P900 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.
Your network operator or retailer may have preinstalled
services; check with them.
Connection type
When your P900 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.
The connection type defines which network your account uses
to connect to the Internet. GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS
network, and Dialup Internet accounts use the GSM network.
GPRS
If your network operator supports GPRS, a GPRS Internet
account allows you to:
• 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 while connected to the Internet. Consult your
operator for details of your subscription.
• Avoid having to reconnect to the Internet if the connection is
interrupted.
Dialup
For both Dialup and High-Speed Dialup 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.
164 Getting started with Internet and Messaging
Automatically set up service
provider and messaging
The easiest way to set up your P900 is automatically, through
your service provider.
For
Messaging
settings, your P900 supports the automatic
setup of:
• email accounts
• MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings.
Check your service provider's Web site for information or
contact their support desk and inquire about automatic remote
configuration of ISP (Internet Service Provider) settings, email
and MMS message settings.
If remote configuration is possible, they will send you the auto-
configuration messages required via an SMS message.
Settings valid for your network operator and one or more of
these services may also be available through the phone
configurator utility at www.SonyEricsson.com
To check that your SMS messaging settings are correct
1. Select
Control panel > Connections > Messaging accounts >
SMS.
2. Check the information, for example the address of the service
center.
Accepting new Internet or Messaging
settings
New configuration messages will appear in the
Auto setup
account
inbox of

166 Getting started with Internet and Messaging
Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a
service provider and gateway that should be used when making
a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account
when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P900 and the WAP site
coding and decoding information. You can set up details of more
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.
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P900 is
automatically, via 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.
Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
select one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.
Manually set up a WAP account
Instead of setting up a WAP account automatically, you can
enter the settings manually from
Control panel > Connections >
WAP accounts
.
First collect all the information you require. You can obtain this
information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your information services
manager.

To set up a new account, follow the steps under ‘To create a new
WAP account’ on page 157.
Using your P900 as a modem
Your P900 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you can
use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P900 appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
You link the laptop to your P900 using Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P900
supports:
•GPRS
• HSCSD (High-speed Circuit-Switched Data)
• CSD (Circuit-Switched Data).
A Windows® modem driver file and a PC utility, the
Dialup
Networking Wizard,
is provided on your
PC Suite for P900
CD. The
wizard will help you configure DUN (Dialup Networking)
entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
Getting started with Internet and Messaging 167
Once paired with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop, your P900 is
ready to make a connection to the Internet or corporate network.
Because Bluetooth is wireless and requires no line-of-sight
alignment, you can place the laptop in a comfortable position
and let your P900 remain in your pocket, briefcase, or even be
placed up to 10 meters away.
If you wish to use an infrared link, the range is typically up to 1
meter. The two infrared ports must be kept in line of sight, at an
angle of no more than approximately 30 degrees.
The Dialup Networking Wizard
The wizard simplifies the creation of GPRS DUN connections
by setting the proper values in the PC DUN entry and linking the
entry to one of the GPRS configurations in your P900. You can
also view and modify the GPRS settings in the P900.
For HSCSD DUN entries, it updates the modem settings such
that the specified data rate and type of bearer (ISDN / Analog)
will be used when you make a DUN connection.
You can view or change the DUN entries created with the
wizard using the standard Windows® DUN user interface.
The Dialup Networking Wizard software included in the
PC Suite
for P900
must be installed in your PC and your P900 must be
connected to the PC via cable, infrared or Bluetooth wireless
technology. See ‘Connecting to other devices’ on page 127.
Ensure you have any information concerning, for example,
phone numbers, names of servers or domains, that the server
that you want to connect to may require.

174 Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Please read this information before using your mobile phone.
Note Important: to avoid hearing impairment, answer call or lower volume before
placing this product to your ear.
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.
• 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 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).
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.
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 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.
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 certi-
fied 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.
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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use 175
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 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.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
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.
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.
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 ACCESSO-
RIES. YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND ITS ACCESSORIES MAY CONTAIN
SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
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 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
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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 net-
work services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local ser-
vice provider.
Emergency Response Center Location Technology.
Using wireless technology to help find you in case of an emergency is a goal
shared by the entire wireless industry, local phone companies and the emergency
response centers. Your phone may support an emergency positioning system being
implemented by some service providers. But the complexity of mobile communi-
cation technology, combined with related implementation technologies, means that
your wireless carrier, the local phone companies, and emergency response centers
all have a role to play in implementing this capability.
So even if your phone supports this technology and even if the locating features
works in one area there is no guarantee that it will work in all areas for all calls to
emergency response centers. Always review with an emergency response center all
location data you have, including intersecting streets, as well as any landmarks, to
assist in locating you.
Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work with the entire communications
industry to improve location features for emergency response.
Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s) including operation, coverage, or
range of the network services provided by network carriers independent of Sony
Ericsson.
176 Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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).
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.
• 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 expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal
object. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, and never
above +60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the
battery in room temperature.
• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Disposing of the product.
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries or call your
local Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center for information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Use a bat-
tery disposal facility if available.
