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. CompatibilityThe 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 supportBoth 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 Sony Memory Stick, visit www.memorystick.com.

Getting to know your P900 27 General functionsApplication launcher viewsIn 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)FoldersFolders 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 categorise 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 organise your entries. In detail view, the folder menu allows you to change the folder of the current item.Using the folder menuIn 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 super-folder called All, which, when selected, displays items from all folders (in Contacts, the All folder does not display the entries in the SIM phone book). All is the default value in list views and when an application is first launched.
28 Getting to know your P900 Use the Edit Folders menu item to:• Rename a folder, or move a folder to or from Memory Stick Duo. Select the folder you want to move or rename, tap Edit, type the name of the new folder, and choose a Location from the list. Tap Done.•To Add a new folder. Tap Add, enter a folder Name and choose a Location from the list. Tap Done.•To Delete a folder. Select the folder you want to delete and tap Delete. A folder can only be deleted if it is empty. Not all folders can be deleted.To copy all the files in a folder to another folder1. Open the folder in list view, and select Copy to in the main application menu; for example Audio or Image.2. Select the destination Folder from the list and select Copy.To move a file from one folder to anotherOpen the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the destination folder.To copy a file to another folder1. Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the destination folder. Select Copy to in the main application menu; for example Audio or Image.2. Select the destination Folder from the list and tap Copy.Tip To delete multiple files in an application you can use Storage manager. See ‘Deleting or copying general files’ on page 160.Managing your filesUsing the File Manager, you can handle the content and organisation of media, both in the P900 and on the Memory Stick Duo. See ‘File manager’ on page 118. You can also use the Storage Manager in the Control Panel. See ‘Storage manager’ on page 159.ZoomingYou can change the size of the screen fonts. Choose between Small, Medium or Large. From the menu bar, tap Edit > Zoom.Automatic savingWhen you work in an application and leave it, your work is automatically saved.FindThe Find function searches through all the items stored in an application. The standard Find dialogue contains a single text edit box with two buttons, Find and Cancel. Selecting Find starts the search, while Cancel closes the Find dialogue.
Getting to know your P900 29 In some applications, for example Messaging, Find may be more complicated:• The size of each message is so large that you may want to restrict the search to the current message only. • Folders are potentially more significant, so you may want to restrict the search to the current folder only. Sorting your filesYou can sort the files you have stored in your P900. By sorting your files, you choose in which order you want the files to be displayed on the screen. You can choose between sorting by, for example type, size, date, or name.Note Sort is not included in all applications.Sending and receiving itemsFrom many applications it is possible to exchange items like appointments, contacts and images.To send an item using Send as1. Enter the Send as menu in the specific application.2. Depending on the application and item, you can choose between the following transfer methods: • Text message (using SMS): P900 will create a new text message. Add the mobile number of the recipient and tap Send.• E-mail: the P900 will create a new message with the item included as an attachment. Complete with address and subject, and tap Send.• Multimedia message (using MMS): the P900 will create a new message with the item included as an attachment. Complete the message and tap Send.• Infrared: align the infrared port of the P900 with the infrared port of the other device. Select Send.

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 162.Folders in MessagingMessaging accounts can have the following folders: Inbox, Outbox, Draft and Sent.InboxInbox contains received messages. You can reply to, forward, and delete messages, but not edit them.OutboxOutbox contains messages that are ready to be sent.

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 items to your message it becomes an EMS message.Text messages can be sent to one or more people, and you can request a delivery report when your text messages have been delivered to the recipients. The delivery report arrives on your P900 as a text message.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).To write and send a text message1.

Installing applications 123 Installing applicationsIt 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 e-mail 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 P900Installation file securityInstallation 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
124 Installing applications 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. From a PCPC Suite for P900 must be installed in your PC and the P900 must be connected to the PC via SyncStation, infrared, or Bluetooth wireless technology in order to install applications from your PC.

(Cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless technology)• Using the P900 as a modem for Dial-Up Networking. (Cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless technology)PC connectivity softwareYour P900 is delivered with a CD, PC Suite for P900. This software must be installed in the PC you want to connect to. See ‘Installing applications’ on page 123 for more information. You do not need to install the PC Suite for P900 if you only want to perform beaming with the PC or use a cordless headset.Connection via SyncStationConnect the SyncStation to your PC with the USB cable. A wizard helps you to install the USB cable the first time. The PC Suite for P900 CD contains necessary software.Put your P900 in the SyncStation. A new wizard starts which helps you to connect your P900 if this is the first time. appears in the status area to the right on the taskbar when the P900 is connected.When connecting via cable, the P900 can be set in PC Connect mode or Modem mode.

In your PC select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Phone Monitor Options > COM Ports and disable the COM port to which the cable is connected.Sony Ericsson Update ServiceSony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS), is a way for the end user to update the firmware of their phone on their own, using a SEMC desk stand and any Internet-connected (preferably via broadband) PC.To update the P900 firmware1. Connect the desk stand to your PC.2. Visit the Sony Ericsson customer support site on the Web.3. Download the SEUS application and run it. Detailed instructions on how to proceed with the update sequence is displayed. You can also take a backup of the P900. Connection via Infrared portWhen connecting via the infrared port, make sure that both devices are placed within one metre from each other and that the infrared ports have a free line of sight between them.Both your P900 and the device you connect to must have their infrared ports activated before communication can begin.To activate the infrared port on the P9001. Go to Control panel > Connections > Infrared.2. Set the P900 to PC connect or Modem as required.3. Set the port state to On or On for 10 minutes.You can also change the infrared port state with the Flip closed, in the Connections application.To activate the infrared port on the PC1. Right click in the status area to the right on the taskbar.2. Select Properties3. Select the Infrared check box4. Click Close.Note Clear the Infrared check box when ready.
128 Connecting to other devices Send and receiveYou can send items via the infrared port, beam, in any application if there is a Send as command. To send, select Infrared. If you receive a beamed item, a dialogue box appears with two options. View or Done. View opens the associated application which shows the item; Done saves it in the Beamed folder in Messaging. Connection via Bluetooth wireless technologyYou can connect your P900 to other products equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs 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 P900 can stay in your pocket while communicating. However, items between transmitting and receiving devices might weaken the signal.Connection to another device can be made within a range of up to 10 metres. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will have an effect on 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 with those devices. The reason for pairing is to simplify future connections and to 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 144 for more information on Bluetooth wireless technology settings.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 on top of your P900 flashes blue.PairingTo let your P900 initiate pairing with another device, such as a headset1. In Control panel > Connections> Bluetooth > Settings, set Operation mode to On.2. Set the other device to be on or discoverable.3. In the Devices tab, tap Add. Your P900 searches for all devices in the vicinity and lists them.
Connecting to other devices 129 – All enabled devices that are visible to others within range, are shown with their name and icon. You can use Show: to restrict the list to one category (only PC, for example). – Paired devices that are within range are shown with regular text.– Non-paired devices that are within range are shown with their names in italics.– Devices that are within range but unknown are shown with a preset name.4. Select the device you want your P900 to pair with, and enter a passcode when asked for it. When the passcode is accepted, the pairing process is complete, see ‘Passcodes’ on page 130.5. If in the future you want to allow a paired device to connect to your P900 without you explicitly approving each connection, you should select Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Devices, then select a device and the check box Allow to connect without confirmation.To let another device initiate pairing with your P9001. In Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings, set Operation mode to On.2. Follow the other device’s manual to initiate pairing.3. When asked for a passcode, enter the same on both devices.4. If in the future you want to allow a paired device to connect to your P900 without you explicitly approving each connection you should select Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Devices, select a device and the check box Allow to connect without confirmation.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.To let a headphone initiate pairing with your P9001. Check that the device you want to pair with your P900:– 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 Operation mode to On.3. Follow the headphone’s manual to initiate pairing on the headphone.4. In the Devices tab tap Add.

This is also where settings from system components and add-ons, developed by third-party developers, will be found.Certificate managerDigital 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 that you view or the software that you download. Your P900 compares these certificates with a set of certificates that are 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 organisation that ensures their authenticity.
Control panel 157 Security informationSecurity 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 organisation that issued it.Adding and deleting certificatesYour 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 organisation that created it.Type of certificateThe 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 removedThis dialogue 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 diskThis dialogue primarily lets you rename and format any Memory Stick Duo that you install in your P900. Your P900 comes with one Memory Stick Duo.
158 Control panel 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 managerThe IP security manager displays stored policies and only one policy can be activated at a time.This is used for secure connections over the Internet, typically to a corporate intranet. If needed, your company information services department will supply the necessary information.There are two types of passwords needed:•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 needed when a policy is activated for the first time and the supplier of the policy gives this.Language selectionUse this list of all languages stored on your P900 to change 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 have to turn the P900 off and then on again for the change to take effect.Master resetUse Master reset to reset your P900.Note All user data, as well as pre-installed media files and application data files (including, for example, wallpapers, ring signals and pictures), will be deleted and settings will be set to the state they were, after you selected the language. The selected local language will be restored.If you have backed up your user data, you can restore it from the backup, see ‘Restoring data’ on page 134.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 Delete user installed applications check box.
Control panel 159 Secure tokensIf 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 in to 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 ComputingIt 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 Dialogue details when using secure access are vendor, system and network-specific. You should contact the administrator of the network you wish to access to get the correct information.Storage managerThe 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.

162 Getting started with Internet and Messaging Getting started with Internet and MessagingIntroduction Before you can use Internet and Messaging to access the Internet and send or receive messages, you will need to make some user-specific settings in the Control Panel. Service providerYou will need a service provider to connect your P900 to the network.The service provider could be:• An Internet Service Provider (ISP) which connects you to the Internet.• An access point provided by your network operator.• A private service provider such as your company or your 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 pre-installed services, check with them.Connection typeWhen 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 Dial-Up Internet accounts use the GSM network. GPRSIf 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 when your are connected to the Internet.Check your operator for details of your subscription.• Avoid having to reconnect to the Internet if the connection is broken.Dial-UpFor 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.
Getting started with Internet and Messaging 163 Automatically set up service provider and messagingThe easiest way to set up your P900 is automatically, through your service provider.For Messaging settings your P900 supports automatic setup of:• e-mail accounts• MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings.Check your service provider's Web site for information or contact their support desk and ask about automatic remote configuration of ISP (Internet Service Provider) settings, e-mail and MMS message settings.If remote configuration is possible, they will send you the auto-configuration messages required by 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.comTo check that your SMS messaging settings are correct1. Select Control panel > Connections > Messaging accounts > SMS.2. Check the information, for example the address of the service centre.Accepting new Internet or Messaging settingsNew configuration messages will appear in the Auto setup account inbox of Messaging. (Configuration messages fore-mail accounts will, however, be found in your SMS message inbox.)When an auto setup message appears, select it.A dialogue with a brief text and operator message appears on the screen. You can accept the new settings or leave the message in the inbox.If the name of the new account is the same as that of an existing account you can choose to create a new account with the same name or replace the existing account.Note Never accept remote configuration messages if you are not expecting them or are unsure where they have come from.Manually set up service provider As an alternative to setting up an Internet account automatically, you can enter the settings manually from Control panel > Connections > Internet accounts.

Getting started with Internet and Messaging 165 Setting up WAP accountsA 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, through your service provider. Check your service provider's Web site for information or contact their support desk and ask about automatic setup. You can also find more information, and settings for many operators on:http://www.SonyEricsson.com/support.Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a new one.Manually set up a WAP accountAlternatively to setting up a WAP account automatically, you can enter the settings manually from Control panel > Connections > WAP accounts.First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are connecting to a corporate network, your information services manager.All settings are described in ‘WAP accounts’ on page 155.To set up a new account follow the steps under ‘To create a new WAP account’ on page 156.Using your P900 as a modemYour 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 Dial-Up Networking Wizard, is provided on your PC Suite for P900 CD. The wizard will help you configure DUN (Dial-Up Networking) entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
166 Getting started with Internet and Messaging Once paired with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop, your P900 is ready to make a connection to the Internet or corporate network. Because Bluetooth is wire-free 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 metres away.If you wish to use an infrared link, the range is typically up to 1 metre. The two infrared ports must be kept in line of sight, at an angle of no more than approximately 30 degrees.The Dial-Up Networking WizardThe wizard simplifies creating 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 / Analogue) 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 Dial-Up 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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use 173 Guidelines for safe and efficient usePlease 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 authorised personnel should perform any service.AntennaOnly use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels above the recommended limits (see below).Efficient useHold 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 SARYour 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 organisations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Com-mission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to operate within these stringent levels. 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. Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.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 various 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.DrivingPlease 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
174 Guidelines for safe and efficient use 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 DevicesMobile 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.ChildrenDO 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 ProductYour mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.Power SupplyConnect 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 CallsMobile 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.Battery Use and CareWe 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.
