Preliminary Layla850 P1B
SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with
a network operator, you receive a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card.
The SIM card contains a computer
chip that keeps track of your phone
number, the services included in your
subscription and your phone book
information, among other things.
A PIN (Personal Identity Number)
code is supplied with the SIM card
from your operator and must be
entered when switching on the P910a.
Open the battery cover by pressing
sligthly on its upper part and slide it
down the P910a. Insert the SIM card as shown in the picture.
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 104.
Battery
Before you use your P910a for the first time, charge the battery
provided for at least 4 hours. Use the supplied charger. See

3. Use your fingernail at the lower left-hand edge of the battery
to gently lift the lower edge of the battery outwards.

• Storing media for personalizing your P910a.
• Storing media for use when composing MMS messages.
• Storing installation files for new applications.
• Transferring data between the P910a and a PC or Mac.
• Providing storage for third-party applications.
To insert the Memory Stick
1. Open the cover for the
Memory Stick slot.
2. Insert the Memory Stick in the
slot, with the connector side
towards the back (see picture).
Make sure it is securely
inserted. A click should be
heard.
Note Insert the Memory Stick
correctly to avoid damage to your P910a or the Memory Stick.
The Memory Stick supplied with the P910a may or may not be a
version that contains the lock function. Remember, you can
overwrite existing files without the lock function.
To remove the Memory Stick
Press the edge of the Memory Stick using your fingernail or the
stylus to release it. You hear a click as it jumps out of the slot.
Note Be careful not to drop the Memory Stick when removing it.
Renaming a Memory Stick
You can rename a Memory Stick 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:
• Select
Control Panel > Other > Format disk
and tap
Rename
.
See ‘Format disk’ on page 165.
• Select
File manager > File > Format disk
and tap
Rename
.
Renaming will not erase any data.
Copying and moving data
For information on how to copy and move data to and from the
Memory Stick, refer to ‘Folders’ on page 27.
Formatting a Memory Stick
New Memory Sticks are normally automaticaly formated first
time they are inserted in a phone. The phone stops working
during the formatting and it can take some time.
Getting to know your P910a 23
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Note Do not remove a Memory Stick during the formatting.
If you need to reformat a Memory Stick, select
Control Panel
> Other > Format disk
and tap
Format
, or select
File manager >
File > Format disk
and tap
Format
. When you format a Memory
Stick, you delete all the information on it, including any
applications that you may have installed.
Sharing data with other devices
Your P910a uses the shorter Memory Stick variants, Memory
Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo.
Memory Stick adapter
Use the Memory Stick adapter when using your Memory Stick
in a device equipped with a regular sized Memory Stick, for
example a personal computer. Insert your Memory Stick
according to the picture on the adapter.
Warning! Do not insert a Memory Stick adapter without a
Memory Stick into a Memory Stick slot. This may damage the
product. Always insert the adapter in the slot with the connector
end (marked with a triangle) first.
Compatibility
The P910a 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 P910a 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 P910a (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 P910a is
connected to your PC, you also have access to the P910a folder
structure as well as other Memory Stick content in
My P910a
.
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 adapter required.)

General functions
Application launcher views
In flip open, the P910a can present the applications in two ways:
• List view (small icons appear in one column)
• Icon view (large icons appear in two columns)
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.
i
28 Getting to know your P910a
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Folders are also used when managing files of different types on
your P910a and Memory Stick. You might want to move or copy
sound files into a sound track folder to store on a Memory Stick.
As you may notice, if you connect your P910a to a PC and view
the contents of your P910a in
My P910a
, it is easier to get an
overview of a folder and file structure on a large screen than on
a handheld device. If you make it a habit to set up specific
folders to suit your needs and use them to categorize all your
information, working with it becomes easy.
Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in
one application is not visible in another.
For each application there is a default
Unfiled
folder. Since there
is no way of seeing on your P910a, whether a file in an
Unfiled
folder is located on your P910a 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 folder as displayed in the list view.
In list view, the folder menu is used to organize your entries. In
detail view, the folder menu allows you to change the folder of
the current item.
Using the folder menu
In the applications that use folders you can see the folder menu
to the right in the menu bar.
When a Memory Stick is available in the P910a, the folders on it
are shown in the folder menu under the divider. If you rename
the disk (see ‘Renaming a Memory Stick’ on page 22) the
divider will show the new name.
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.
Use the
Edit Folders
menu item to:
• Rename a folder, or move a folder to or from the Memory
Stick. 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

. 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. From within an application such as

or
Video
, select a
folder from the folder menu. From the
application menu, first
select
Select all
and then

Stick. See ‘File manager’ on page 125.
You can also use the Storage manager in the Control Panel. See
‘Storage manager’ on page 167.
Zooming
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
dialog contains a single text edit
box with two buttons,
Find
and
Cancel
. Selecting
Find
starts the
search, while
Cancel
closes the
Find
dialog.
In some applications, for example Messages, Find may be more
advanced:
• 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 files
You can sort the files you have stored in your P910a. 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.

Handwriting recognition
Handwriting recognition
translates stylus gestures
into letters, numbers or
other characters, and
displays these characters
as text. Handwriting
recognition is only active
in places where text can
be input.
The text mode screen is
split into an upper and a
lower part, by an arrow
in the middle of the right
edge. Write lowercase
letters below the arrow
and uppercase letters in
line with it. Write
numbers above the
arrow.
Mark text by putting the stylus on the text, wait a moment, and
drag the stylus over the text.
Note Most letters can be written using different stroke styles.
See the tables below. The style does not determine case. The
position on the screen decides case.
Letters
Lowercase letters are written below the arrow and uppercase
letters in line with the arrow.
Note Start each stroke at the dotted end.

SIM card lock
The SIM card lock protects your SIM card, not the P910a,
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 P910a 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 P910a will
ask for the PIN code every time you turn it on. You unlock the
SIM card by entering the PIN code.
To activate the SIM card lock
1. Select
Control panel
> Device > Locks.
2. Select a lock option.
3. Select
Done
.
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 P910a and the data in it against
unauthorized use.
If the device lock is set to
When SIM changed
, it means that the
P910a is not normally locked. However, if the SIM has been
changed, the P910a asks you to enter the code to unlock the
P910a before you can use it. This means that if someone steals
your P910a and puts another SIM card into it, they will not be
able to use it.
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 P910a. You can
change the device lock code to any four to eight digit personal
code.
The default device lock code is 0000.

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
P910a will be unprotected after Power on, until the screen saver
goes on.

Phone
The Phone application is easy for the beginner, yet powerful for
the advanced user. It can be used together with the other
functions of the P910a, including applications from developers
outside Sony Ericsson.
The phone includes useful features such as:

• Office handsfree (speakerphone) which starts when you open
the flip, making it easy to access applications such as
Calendar and Jotter while talking.
• Flight mode which enables the P910a to be used as a PDA in
situations where radio transmitters may not be used. The
GSM and Bluetooth transmitters (and receivers) are switched
off.
With the flip closed you can access most of the functions using

Corporate phone
services in P910a
The P910a can be used in a
corporate environment like
centrex, mobile centrex and
corporate switchboards (PABX)
equipped with a mobile
extension facility (like Ericsson
MD110 or Ericsson
BusinessPhone).
Programmable feature
buttons
Used in a corporate
environment, the P910a
provides programmable feature buttons for easier use of
corporate phone services. When, for example, you call someone
who does not answer, you can press the button
Call Back
to have
the corporate system call you back as soon as he is free.
To report that you are busy, click
(in standby mode) the PBX icon
> Command
to send a
command to the PBX, such as In
meeting until..., Course, or
Business trip. The switchboard
operator can then answer
incoming callers that you are
busy and when you will be back.
All those commands that you
used to dial to the corporate
switch can now be replaced by a
command button with clear text.
Using corporate phone
service
To place an internal call, dial an internal (short) number or an
external (long) number. The phone sets up the call through the
corporate switch, so that during the call you can utilize all
corporate features like call back, interrogation, conference and
switchboard operator services. When dialling an external
number, you do not need to dial the external line prefix; it is
added automatically.

84 Games
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
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 Higher/Lower game to acquire more bonus
points. After the challenge, the game continues and a new hand
is dealt with one less Joker.
Rules
When the game starts, 35 cards are dealt from the deck into
7 piles of 5 cards. A further card is then dealt face up from the
layout card.
• Cards can only be played from the bottom of the piles.
• To play a pile card it must have a face value of one more or
one less than the layout card.
• Aces are low and may not be played onto kings. Jokers can
be played onto any card and any card can be played onto a
joker.

Messages
With
Messages
you can create, send, and receive different
types of messages:
You also use
Messages
to receive:
• Area Information messages.These are text messages
broadcast to all subscribers in a network area, for example
local road reports or local taxi phone numbers. (Area
Information services are not available from all operators).
• BIO (Bearer Independent Object) messages. There are
different types of messages:
– Setup (email, Internet, WAP accounts).
– Email notifications.
– Files for exchanging electronic business cards (vCard)
and calendar information (vCal).
• Auto setup files for OTA (Over The Air) configuration.
• Beamed messages. These are files received via infrared or
Bluetooth wireless technology.
The different types of messages are handled by separate
messaging accounts. Select
Control panel > Connections >
Messaging accounts
to see the details of the messaging accounts
on your P910a.
You can have any number of email accounts - a typical
configuration will be one business and one personal account.
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for
synchronized email is automatically created on your P910a.
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 Messages
Before you can send and receive any messages (except for SMS)
you need to set up the necessary accounts.
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.
Email messages. Your P910a mail client supports POP3
and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and
SMTP for sending mail.

A simple way of setting up an Internet, email, or MMS account
is to ask your service provider to send you a message that
contains the required information to create an account
automatically on your P910a. You can also use the Web phone
setup-message generator on www.SonyEricsson.com. Received
auto-setup messages are stored in the

, and folders you can create yourself, local
folders. You can also subscribe to folders based on a server
(remote folders), if you have selected
IMAP
for your email
account.
Inbox
Inbox contains received messages. You can reply to, forward,
and delete messages, but not edit them.
Outbox
Outbox contains messages that are ready to be sent. If you are

An asterisk next to an account indicates that a message has
arrived since you last opened the accounts inbox.
Handling text messages
A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non-Latin
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but will usually be
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 (not more than
thirty, we recommend), and you can request a delivery report
when your text messages have been delivered to the recipients.
The delivery report arrives on your P910a as a text message.

On the message’s address tab, select
From
.
Note If you save an address from an email message
synchronized from your company PC, the corporate version of
the address, rather than the full Internet email address, will be
saved to Contacts. If the corporate version of the address is not

synchronized account, but you cannot use it in email that you
send directly from your P910a.

Sometimes a message cannot be sent because your P910a cannot
connect to a network. Please check that the Messaging Account
and Internet Account information in the Control Panel is correct.
If you have both GPRS and Dial-Up Internet accounts, try
sending the email message using an account of the other type.
GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS network and Dial-Up
Internet accounts use the GSM network.
Synchronized email
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for
synchronized email messages is automatically created on your
P910a and indicated by . You can have more than one
account for synchronized email, but only one per PC. If you
send an email as PC mail, the mail will be sent via the PC when
you have synchronized your P910a with the PC.
If you set up a POP or IMAP account which accesses the same
mail server, the two accounts will contain the same messages.
Note that there is no connection between the accounts; the
copies in each account are separate.

130 Installing applications
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Installing applications
It is possible to install new applications in your P910a. These
applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:
• from the Internet.
•from a CD.
• from a Memory Stick.
• as an email attachment.
• from other devices.
There are two types of installation files for applications:
• SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910a or other
Sony Ericsson devices.
• MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java
Archive).
Note SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one
or more files.
Programs made for the Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 series can
also be used in the P910a.
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 possible to install in the P910a.
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
P910a
Installation file security
Installation files in SIS format are typically used for installation
of Epoc or PersonalJava™ applications or other content into the
P910a file system.The vendor who prepared the SIS file decides
where in the file system the various content of the SIS file will
be installed. This means that you need to decide if you trust that
the SIS file does not contain harmful content. If you are certain
of the origin of the SIS file you can take an installation decision
based on what you know about that vendor. Your P910a
supports cryptographic verification of vendor identity.
During installation the P910a verifies a digital signature and
certificate in the SIS file against a root certificate in the phone.
Successful verification means that you can trust the origin of the
Installing applications 131
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
SIS file and that the content has not been modified after it was
created. If the SIS file does not contain a digital signature you
will be given a warning about the problem but you can still
decide to proceed with the installation at your own risk. In
general, it is recommended that you install only from SIS files
where the vendor identity and file integrity can be verified.
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.

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 P910a and the other device.
This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to
it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your
P910a even after you have turned it off so you do not need to
repeat the process for every connection with those devices. The
reason for pairing is to simplify future connections and to make
them secure – only paired devices can connect to your P910a.
Activating Bluetooth wireless technology
Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P910a in
Control
panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
.
Set
Bluetooth
to
On
, and
set if your P910a should be
Visible by other devices
or not. See
‘Bluetooth’ on page 151 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 light
on top of your P910a flashes blue.
Pairing
To let your P910a initiate pairing with another device, such as
a headset
1. In
Control panel > Connections> Bluetooth > Settings
, set
Bluetooth
to
On
. Make sure
Visible to other devices
is selected.
2. Set the other device to be on or discoverable.
3. In the
Devices
tab, tap
Add
. Your P910a searches for all
devices in the vicinity and lists them.
– 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 P910a 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 136.
5. If in the future you want to allow a paired device to connect
to your P910a 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
.
136 Connecting to other devices

.
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 P910a
1. Check that the device you want to pair with your P910a:
– Is on and within range.
– Has its Bluetooth function activated and that it is in

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.

138 Synchronization and backup
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Synchronization and backup
With
Sony Ericsson PC Suite
installed in your PC, your P910a can
synchronize with the following PC applications, also called
Personal Information Managers (PIMs):
• Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6, 6.5
• Lotus Notes® 5.0, 6
• Microsoft Outlook 98, 2000, 2002, 2003
• Microsoft Windows Address Book
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 > P910a
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 P910a, these entries will not be synchronized with the
corresponding entries in your PC when synchronizing your
P910a and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P910a.
Local synchronization
Local synchronization is done with either cable, infrared or
Bluetooth wireless technology. The functionality is the same.
Email, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Jotter notes (only text)
can be synchronized locally.
Local synchronization settings
Local synchronization is initiated from the PC and all settings
are made in the P910a PC software (included on the
Sony
Ericsson PC Suite

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
P910a automatically uses to access the Internet. You need to set
up an Internet account before you can:
• Access Web pages and download multimedia messages.
• Set up an email account to send and receive email 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
P910a.
154 Control panel
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
There are three types of Internet account:
The dialog has two tabs:

an
existing account.
If you want to select an Internet account every time you connect
to the Internet, select the
Show connection

check box. This
may be useful if you use different Internet accounts for
Internet

.
Whenever you connect to the Internet, your
Preferred
account is
the account that your P910a prompts you to use.
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 dialogs 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 High-
Speed Dial-Up:
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.
The service must be included in your
subscription and billing rates from your
network operator may increase as you increase
the connection speed.
GPRS
: For a GPRS connection you are charged for the
amount of information you view, download, or
send.

and enter settings on the
tabs as described below
GPRS Advanced tabs
Server User name and password
Normally, you do not have to enter a username and
password when you connect to a GPRS account.
However, some service providers may require you to
enter these details.
If you select the
Username and password required
check box, but do not enter a username and
password, you will be prompted to enter these when
the P910a connects.
Address
Enter the Internet address of your access point. The
address is supplied by your service provider.
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
P910a uses to connect to the Internet. Your P910a can
normally fetch these addresses automatically from
most ISPs.
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot
connect to the Internet and you suspect these
addresses are incorrect, ask your ISP for their
primary and secondary DNS addresses.
An IP address consists of four 3-digit boxes and valid
input is between 000 and 255 in each box.
Proxy
A proxy server is a computer connected between
your P910a and the computer you communicate with.
This arrangement can be used for connections to
Remote Sync servers, or within a company network.
If this setting is needed, your company's Information
Services department or Remote Sync provider must
give you instructions.
Other
If your ISP supports Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
extensions, you can select the

P910a has:
• Expired.
• Been revoked by the independent organization that issued it.
Adding and deleting certificates
Your P910a handles certificates automatically so, most of the
time, you can browse the Internet securely without using
Certificate manager
. If you do need to add or delete a certificate,
you will usually be informed by your network operator or
system administrator. You should delete a certificate from
Certificate manager
if you are informed, or suspect, that:
• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.
• The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent
organization that created it.
Type of certificate
The type can be either
User
or
Certificate Authority
.
•
User
certificates contain your identity. This type of certificate
is used when the server asks for client authentication. The
client application requests you to identify yourself by
choosing a user certificate.
•
Certificate Authority
certificates contain server details. This
type of certificate is handled by your P910a when the server
only requires server authentication. This means that your
identity remains anonymous.

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 P910a supports the following secure access systems:
• SecureID from RSA
• SafeWord from Secure Computing
It is also possible to add other access systems through third-
party software.
If you have a separate device or application that requires one-
time passwords according to one of these systems, you do not
need a separate hardware token generator (Hard Token). Your
P910a can generate passwords that are not associated with an
Internet account.
You manage secure access in your P910a 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 P910a as a Hard Token). You can configure as
many tokens as needed.
Tip Dialog details when using secure access are vendor, system
and network-specific. You should contact the administrator of
the network you wish to access to get the correct information.
Storage manager
The list shows the applications on your P910a and the space

Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Getting started with Internet and Messages
Introduction
Before you can use
Internet
and
Messages
to access the
Internet and send or receive messages, you will need to make
some user-specific settings in the
Control Panel
.
Service provider
You will need a service provider to connect your P910a 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
P910a to set up an Internet account. It can hold the details of
multiple service providers, for example, you may have separate
Internet and corporate accounts.
Your network operator or retailer may have pre-installed
services, check with them.
Connection type
When your P910a connects to a service provider, it will use a
GSM or GPRS network provided by a network operator. Many
network operators offer both GPRS and GSM services.
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.
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.

Setting up WAP accounts
A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a
service provider and gateway that should be used when making
a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account
when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P910a 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 P910a 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 account
Instead of setting up a WAP account automatically, you can
enter the settings manually from
Control panel > Connections >
WAP accounts
.
First collect all the information you 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.

To set up a new account follow the steps under ‘To create a new
WAP account’ on page 164.
Using your P910a as a modem
Your P910a contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem, so you
can use it to connect your PC to the Internet or corporate
intranet.Your P910a appears to the laptop like a normal modem.
You link the laptop to your P910a using Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared, or cable (USB or serial).The connection
over the air can be by any of the bearers that your P910a
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
Sony Ericsson PC Suite
CD.
The wizard will help you configure DUN (Dial-Up Networking)
entries on your PC for GPRS and HSCSD connections.
174 Getting started with Internet and Messages
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Once paired with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop, your P910a is
ready to make a connection to the Internet or corporate network.
Since Bluetooth is wire-free and requires no line-of-sight
alignment, you can place the laptop in a comfortable position
and let your P910a 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
one metre. The two infrared ports must be kept in line of sight,
at an angle of no more than approximately 30 degrees.

The 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 P910a. You can
also view and modify the GPRS settings in the P910a.
For HSCSD DUN entries, the wizard 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
Sony
Ericsson PC Suite
must be installed in your PC and your P910a
must be connected to the PC via cable, infrared or Bluetooth
wireless technology. See ‘Connecting to other devices’ on

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 183
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read this information before using your mobile phone.
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 air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised
personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your
mobile phone. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the top of the
phone when in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or
radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio
wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR
value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions,
but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below
this value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that
there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among
mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of
15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when
used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn accessory intended for this phone.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile phone model is included
with the material that comes with this mobile phone. This information can also be
184 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
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
product. Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
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
ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY 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 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.
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 should only be charged in temperatures between
+5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time could have reduced
capacity the first few times it is used.
The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission conditions when
using the mobile phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base station, less power
is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
•Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
• 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.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 185
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above
+60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery
in room temperature.
• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery.
• Keep out of children's reach.
• 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 Center for information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Use a
battery disposal facility if available.
