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 phone
book information, among other things.
Before you use 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.

code is supplied with the SIM card
from your operator and must be
entered when switching on your P900.
2. Remove the battery cover by
sliding it downwards.
Open the battery cover and insert the
SIM card as shown in the picture.
Insertion and removal
To insert the battery
1. Ensure that the Flip is closed.
3. Place the battery in the
battery compartment and
close the cover.
To remove the battery
Some subscriptions are limited to call
only predefined numbers, so-called Fixed Dialling Numbers
(FDN). To avoid problems when travelling abroad, these
predefined numbers should be defined as international numbers
starting with +, for example +4613244500. In order to speed up
calling while at home, the same numbers can also be added in
the national number format, for example 013244500.
For more information. see ‘Copying contacts to and from the
SIM card’ on page 99.
1. Ensure that your P900 is
turned off.

supplied with other Sony Ericsson mobile phones using the same
connector plug, for example, T68i or T300.

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.
To insert the Memory Stick Duo
1. Open the cover for the Memory
Stick Duo slot.
Getting to know your P900
Note Be careful when removing the Memory Stick Duo to avoid
dropping it.
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:
• Providing storage for third-party applications.
Note Insert the Memory Stick Duo
correctly to avoid damage to your
P900 or the Memory Stick Duo.
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.
Renaming a Memory Stick Duo
• Transferring data between the P900 and a PC or Mac.
2. Insert the Memory Stick Duo in
the slot, with the connector side
towards the back (see picture).
Make sure it is securely inserted.
A click should be heard.
The Memory Stick Duo supplied with the P900 may or may not

Formatting 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 format 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.
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 Sony Memory Stick, visit
www.memorystick.com.
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.

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 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.
Getting to know your P900
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 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 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.
27
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 folder
1. 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 another
Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the
destination folder.
To copy a file to another folder
1. Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the
destination folder. Select Copy to in the main application

Tip To delete multiple files in an application you can use
Storage manager. See ‘Deleting or copying general files’ on
page 160.
Managing your files
Using 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.

You can change the size of the screen fonts. Choose between
Small, Medium or Large. From the menu bar, tap Edit > Zoom.
Automatic saving
When you work in an application and leave it, your work is
automatically saved.
Find
The 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
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.
• 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.

displayed on the screen. You can choose between sorting by, for
example type, size, date, or name.
• Infrared: align the infrared port of the P900 with the infrared
port of the other device. Select Send. Progress messages on
screen will tell you when the information has been
transferred.
Note Sort is not included in all applications.
• Bluetooth wireless technology: the P900 will search the local
area for paired devices. These will be presented in a list.
Select a device to which the item is to be sent and select

To activate the SIM card lock
1. Select
Control panel > Device > Locks.
2. Select a lock option.
3. Select Done.
P900 locks
Use the SIM card lock and the device lock to protect your SIM
card and your P900 from unauthorized use. Use the key lock to
prevent the keys from being accidentally pressed.
Note You can usually make an emergency call without
unlocking the P900.
SIM card lock
The SIM card lock protects your SIM card, not the P900, against
unauthorized use. It is unlocked by the PIN and PUK codes
which you receive from your service provider.
You can choose to have to unlock the SIM card every time you
turn the P900 on, or to have the SIM card unlocked.
Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) code consists of four
to eight digits. If you activate the SIM card lock, the P900 will
ask for the PIN code every time you turn it on. You unlock the
SIM card by entering the PIN code.
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.
Getting to know your P900
35
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.
To activate the device lock
1. Select
Control panel > Device > Locks.
2. Select a lock option.
3. Select Done.
You can choose to have the P900 locked every time you turn it
on, locked when the SIM card has been changed, or unlocked.
It is also possible to use the device lock in combination with the
screen saver. Just mark the checkbox
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
have set the device lock to activate at Power on. Otherwise your
P900 will be unprotected after Power on, until the screen saver
goes on.

When dialling 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

Internet
You use
Internet, the P900 browser, to:
• Connect to the Internet to view and access Web and WAP
pages.
• Receive and view Push messages from your WAP service
provider.
• Download Java applications, images and audio.
The browser can open Web pages that use Java script or frames,
but functions that use Java script in the Web page will not work
properly.
You can save bookmarks to viewed pages, to be able to access
them easily. You can also save pages in the P900 for off-line
viewing.
The browser uses folders for categorising information. The
folders used are bookmarks, saved pages, signed documents,
and Push messages.
Push messages is a service that gives you notifications about, for
example, weather forecasts, sport results, and stock quotes. The
notification is sent to you as a message that contains a WAP link
to the site with the information you subscribe to.
Before you can use Internet, you need to set up an Internet
account in the Control panel. If you intend to use certain WAP
72
services it might be necessary to set up a WAP account in the
Control panel as well. See ‘Getting started with Internet and
Messaging’ on page 162.

Preferences
The browser is initially set up to work, but you have to set up
your own account. A simple way of setting up an Internet
account is to use the Web configurator on
www.SonyEricsson.com. See also ‘Internet accounts’ on
page 146 for more information.
The easiest way to set up Internet and WAP accounts is to ask
your Internet service provider to send you an auto setup message
containing the required setup information. The accounts will
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 on-line banking, can only be accessed from a particular
WAP account. See ‘WAP accounts’ on page 155 for more
information.
Note Proxy settings for MMS messages, and for a WAP gateway
should be set in the WAP account. Other proxy settings should
be set in the Internet account.

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.
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.
The game will either start with a new game or with the layout
for an earlier, interrupted game. (The game data is saved on
return to desktop, when the Flip is closed or when the battery
is low.)
2. Select the card you want to move and it will be higlighted.
3. Select the card to which you would like to move the
higlighted card.
To restart the game during a game
Select Solitaire > New game.
To undo/redo a move
Select Edit > Undo move / Redo move.
• 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.

Solitaire is only available with the Flip open.

Messaging
With
Messaging you can create, send, and receive different
types of messages:
SMS (Short Message Service) messages are text
messages sent and received via the network operator's
message centre. When a text message has pictures,
sounds, melodies 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 ring
melodies.
E-mail messages. Your P900’s mail client supports
POP3 and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and
SMTP for sending mail.
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).
– E-mail 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
Control panel > Connections >
messaging accounts. Select
Messaging accounts to see the details of the messaging accounts
on your P900.
You can have any number of e-mail 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 e-mails is automatically created on your P900.
With the Flip closed, text and multimedia messages can be sent
and received using the Jog Dial and the keypad. More advanced
tasks are, however, best handled with the Flip open.

Before using Messaging
To save an e-mail message to Outbox
Before you can send and receive any messages (except for SMS)
you need to set up the necessary accounts.
1. After composing your message, select Send.
A simple way of setting up an Internet or e-mail 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.
Messages that you send from an e-mail synchronization account
are always saved to Outbox and sent from your PC after your
next synchronization.
2. Select Save to outbox.
Draft
Draft contains messages that are not ready to be sent.
See ‘Getting started with Internet and Messaging’ on page 162.
Folders in Messaging
Messaging accounts can have the following folders: Inbox,
Outbox, Draft and Sent.
Inbox
Inbox contains received messages. You can reply to, forward,
and delete messages, but not edit them.
To store a new message in Draft
Create the message and exit without selecting Send.
To move a message from 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.
Outbox
Outbox contains messages that are ready to be sent. If you are
creating several e-mails, 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.

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
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).

It is possible to install new applications in your P900. These
applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:
• from the Internet.
at their own risk. Product failures caused by applications not
approved or made for Sony Ericsson will not be covered by your
warranty.
• from a CD.
• from a Memory Stick Duo.
• as an e-mail attachment.
• from other devices.
Installing applications on your
P900
There are two types of installation files for applications:
Installation file security
• SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P900 or other
Sony Ericsson devices.
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.
• 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
Installing applications
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
123
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 PC

Send and receive
You 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 technology
You 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
128
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.
Pairing
To let your P900 initiate pairing with another device, such as a
headset
1. 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
– 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 P900
1. 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.
Connecting to other 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 P900
1. 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. Your P900 searches for all devices
in the vicinity and lists them.
5. When asked for a passcode, enter the headphone’s passcode
on your P900.

6. If in the future you want to allow the headphone to connect to
your P900 without you explicitly approving each connection,
you should select Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth >
Devices, select the headphone and the check box Allow to
connect without confirmation.
To remove a paired device from your P900
Select a device in the list and select Remove.
Bluetooth share
You can make it possible for other users to transfer items from
your P900. To make an item accessible, select Send as > Bluetooth
Shared. The item is then copied to the Shared folder, accessible
by other users. When a user requests to access your Shared
folder, a request dialogue is shown, where you can Accept or
Reject the transfer.
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.
Send and receive
You can send items via Bluetooth wireless technology in any
application if there is a Send as command. To send, select
Bluetooth. If you receive an item via Bluetooth wireless
technology, 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.

Synchronization and backup
With PC Suite for P900 installed in your PC, your P900 can
synchronize with the following PC applications, also called
Personal Information Managers (PIMs):
Local synchronization
• Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6
• Lotus® Notes® 5.0, 6
• Microsoft® Outlook® 98, 2000, 2002
Synchronization is divided into local and remote. Local
synchronization is performed directly to a connected PC while
remote synchronization is done over the air with a remote server
in, for example, a corporate network.
The manual describes the easiest way to perform the tasks but
you can also carry out most of them by selecting Start > Programs
> Sony Ericsson > P900 in the PC and then select the desired
command.
Refer to the online help find in Help in the menu bar in the PC
software to get more information about synchronization and
backup.
Note If you have imported SIM phone book entries into Contacts
in your P900, these entries will not be synchronized with the
corresponding entries in your PC when synchronising your
P900 and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P900.

THE CONNECTIONS TAB
The connections tab contains settings related to how your P900
communicates with other devices.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio waves to enable
wireless connections between your P900 and other Bluetoothenabled devices. This method of linking works well at a range of
up to 10 metres. Obstructions between the transmitting devices
will have an effect on the performance. Read more about
connecting to other devices using Bluetooth wireless technology
in ‘Connection via Bluetooth wireless technology’ on page 128.
Tip You will probably find that the preset name of your P900,
and of devices you pair it with, are not very meaningful or easily
recognisable. It is a good idea to change these names to
something more useful. The name you choose for your P900
appears on any devices you pair it with.
See ‘Pairing’ on page 128 for instructions on how to connect to
another device using Bluetooth wireless technology.

There are three types of Internet account:
Dial-Up:
For Dial-Up (CSD, Circuit Switched Data)
connections, you are charged for the length of
time that you are connected to the Internet.
High-Speed Dial-Up: For High-Speed Dial-Up (HSCSD, High Speed
Circuit Switched Data) connections you are
charged for the length of time you are
connected but you can increase the connection
speed so that information is transferred faster.
Internet accounts
You access the Internet using an Internet Service Provider (ISP),
who supplies you with account details including: a username, a
password, and the phone number or Web site address that your
P900 automatically uses to access the Internet. You need to set
up an Internet account before you can:
• Access Web pages and download multimedia messages.
The service must be included in your
subscription and billing rates from your
network operator may increase as you increase
the connection speed.
GPRS :
• Set up an e-mail account to send and receive e-mail
messages.
Tip A simple way of setting up an Internet 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.
For a GPRS connection you are charged for the
amount of information you view, download, or
send.
The dialogue has two tabs: Accounts and Other.
Accounts tab
The Internet accounts dialogue lists all the Internet accounts that
have been set up on your P900.
You can add a New account to the list and Edit or Delete an
existing account.
146
Control panel
If you want to select an Internet account every time you connect
to the Internet, select the Show connection dialogue check box.
This may be useful if you use different Internet accounts for
Internet and
Messaging.
Whenever you connect to the Internet, your Preferred account is
the account that your P900 prompts you to use.
New
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
GPRS Advanced tabs
Server
To create a new Internet account
1. On the Accounts tab, select New.
2. Give the account a name. This will be the name shown in
your list of accounts. (In dialogues that appear while a
connection is being established the text -GPRS is
automatically added to names of GPRS accounts.)
3. Choose the Connection type for the type of account that you
want to create, GPRS or Dial-Up.
4. Continue entering settings as required. These will differ
depending on the type of account: GPRS, Dial-Up or HighSpeed Dial-Up:
Control panel
GPRS account
Username 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 P900 connects.
Address
Enter the Internet address of your access point. The
address is supplied by your service provider.
147
GPRS Advanced tabs
Log in
The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS
addresses.
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet
Service Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your P900
uses to connect to the Internet. Your P900 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 256 in each box.
Proxy
A proxy server is a computer connected between
your P900 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.
Other
If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
extensions, you can select the Enable PPP extensions
check box. PPP extensions allow your P900 to
provide features such as encryption, which increases
the security of your Internet connection.
148
GPRS Advanced tabs
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.
Normal: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).
The user's username and password are transmitted
over the network in an unencrypted form.
Secure: CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). The user's username and
password are never transmitted over the network.
None: No authentication is required by the network
operator.
QoS
Check with your network operator before changing
any of the QoS (Quality of Service) settings.
If your operator supports the use of Header
compression, selecting On can speed up your
connection.
The settings Precedence, Delay, Peak rate, and Mean
Rate are all by default set to Subscribed, which
means that your operators default QoS (Quality of
Service) values will apply. Reliability is set as Class 3
by default.
New
Dial-Up or High-Speed Dial-Up account
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supplies you with your
Username, your Password, and their Phone number, which your
P900 dials to connect to the Internet. If you have a High-Speed
Control panel
Dial-Up account with your network operator you can increase
the speed of your connection by making settings on the Speed
tab under Advanced.
Dial-Up and High-Speed Dial-Up Advanced tabs
Select the check box Post connect terminal if:
• The login script of the account that you are setting up
requires that you input certain information or you will
need to respond to prompts from the Internet account.
You are connecting to a Dial-Up account that uses Secure
Access generated by a separate smart card or password
generator.
Tip To avoid having to change the phone number when you
travel abroad: enter the international dialling prefix (for
example '+') and the appropriate country code for your ISP.
For some accounts you may also need to make advanced
settings.
Proxy
For an explanation of these settings, see Proxy in the
‘GPRS Advanced tabs’ on page 147.
Select Advanced and enter settings on the tabs as described
below
Speed
You can only increase the speed of your connection if you

Other tab
You can use the Dial-Up timeout and GPRS timeout settings to set
up your P900 to disconnect automatically from the Internet, if
you are not using it. The connection is broken after the period
you specify has lapsed.
Preferred Mode (bearer preference)
Please note that your P900 can be used for either voice (or GSM
data) calls or transferring GPRS data, but not both at the same
time. It may, however, still be connected to GPRS. As an
150
example, during GPRS data transfer (Icon:
) your P900 may
not receive incoming calls. As soon as the transfer stops
(Icon:
) incoming calls will be accepted.
Setting the Preferred Mode lets you choose how you want to use
your P900:
• 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.
• If you select GSM only, your P900 will not be connected to the
GPRS network. If you choose to download e-mail or browse
the Web, your P900 will connect to GPRS only as long as is
needed for the data connection.
• If you select Automatic, your P900 will let you answer
incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS
functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily
interrupted by a voice call.

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 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
Security information
Type of certificate
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 type can be either User or Certificate Authority.
• 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.
• 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.
• Been revoked by the independent organisation that issued it.
Adding and deleting certificates
Flip removed
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:
This 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.
• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.
This 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.
• The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent
organisation that created it.
Control panel
Format disk

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
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.
The 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.
Master reset
There are two types of passwords needed:
Use Master reset to reset your P900.
• 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.
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.
• Activation password: is needed 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
language. The highlighted entry is the language presently in use.
You can delete all languages except English.
158
When you have selected a new language, you have to turn the
P900 off and then on again for the change to take effect.
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.

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 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 Computing
It is also possible to add other access systems through thirdparty software.
If you have a separate device or application that requires onetime 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.

WIM PIN settings
WIM (WAP Identity Module) is used for performing security
functions, especially to store and process information needed 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 dialogue consists of a PIN choice list and a
WIM items list.
You can select a PIN from the PIN choice 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 status of a PIN:

some user-specific settings in the
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.
Service provider
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.
You 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.
162
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 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-Up
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.

configuration of ISP (Internet Service Provider) settings, e-mail
and MMS message settings.
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.
If remote configuration is possible, they will send you the autoconfiguration messages required by SMS message.
Note Never accept remote configuration messages if you are
not expecting them or are unsure where they have come from.

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).
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.
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.
To set up a new account follow the steps under ‘To create a new
WAP account’ on page 156.
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.
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.
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.
Using your P900 as a 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:

Alternatively to setting up a WAP account automatically, you
can enter the settings manually from
Control panel >
Connections > WAP accounts.
Getting started with Internet and Messaging
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.
165
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.
Make sure that 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.

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 authorised
personnel should perform any service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your
mobile phone. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the top of the
phone when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 organisations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission 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.
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
173
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 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.
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 ACCESSORIES. 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 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.
174
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.
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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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 battery
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries or call your
local Sony Ericsson Customer Care Centre for information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Use a battery disposal facility if available.

Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to the original
purchaser by a dealer authorised by Sony Ericsson for this Product, specifying
the date of purchase and serial number**, is presented with the Product to be
repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service
if this information has been removed or changed after the original purchase of
the Product from the dealer.
2. If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced
Product shall be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty
period or for ninety (90) days from the date of repair, whichever is longer.
Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent

8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON OR ITS
LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS, TO THE FULL
EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
