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 P910a for the first time, charge the battery
provided for at least 4 hours. Use the supplied charger. See
‘Charging the battery’ on page 13.
A PIN (Personal Identity Number)
code is supplied with the SIM card
from your operator and must be
entered when switching on the P910a.
2. Remove the battery cover by
sliding it downwards.
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.

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

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.
Getting to know your P910a
27
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.
28
Getting to know your P910a
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
Contacts, the All
selected, displays items from all folders (in
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 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. From within an application such as Pictures or Video, select a
folder from the folder menu. From the application menu, first
select Select all and then Copy.
2. Select the destination Folder from the list and select Copy.
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
To move a file from one folder to another
Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the
destination folder.

page 168.
Managing your files
Using the File Manager, you can handle the content and
organization of media, both in the P910a and on the Memory
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.

P910a locks
Use the SIM card lock and the device lock to protect your SIM
card and your P910a from unauthorized use. Use the keylock to
prevent the keys from being accidentally pressed.
Note You can usually make an emergency call without
unlocking the P910a.
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
SIM card lock
You cannot change the PUK code.
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.
PIN2
Some functions on the SIM card can be protected by a
secondary code feature. Some SIM cards do not have a PIN2
lock.
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.
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.

you have typed the new code correctly you have to enter it
twice.)
3. Select Done.
Automatic keylock
You can choose to have the P910a locked every time you turn it
on, locked when the SIM card has been changed, or unlocked.
This option locks the keys on your P910a when the flip is
closed. This is to protect the device if the keys are accidentally
pressed. When this setting is active, the keypad will become
automatically locked after a period of inactivity.
It is also possible to use the device lock in combination with the
Control panel > Device >
screen saver. Just mark the checkbox
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.
Note You will not be able to browse the contents of your P910a
from a PC, or synchronize items using the SyncStation, when the
P910a device lock is enabled and active.

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.

SMS or MMS messages.
Incoming calls via the PBX may be routed to the P910a as well
as to your desk phone, and you can answer in either telephone.
When talking on the P910a, you may hand over the call to the
desk phone by calling that phone, answering it and hanging up
the P910a. You can also hand over a call from the desk phone to
your P910a.

Messages
With
Messages 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.
Email messages. Your P910a mail client supports POP3
and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and
SMTP for sending mail.
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.

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 Auto setup inbox.
See ‘Getting started with Internet and Messages’ on page 170.
Folders in Messages
Messaging accounts can have the following folders: Inbox,
Outbox, Draft, Sent, 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
To save an email message to Outbox
1. After composing your message, select Send.
2. Select Save to outbox.
Messages that you send from an email synchronization account
are always saved to Outbox and sent from your PC after your
next synchronization.
Draft
Draft contains
messages that are not ready to be sent.
To store a new message in Draft
Create the message and exit without selecting Send.
To move a message from Outbox to Draft
Open the Outbox message list, select the message, and select
Message > Move to draft.
Inbox contains received messages. You can reply to, forward,
and delete messages, but not edit them.
Sent
Outbox
Tip Regularly delete old messages from your Sent folder,
especially those with attachments, to clear storage space.
Outbox contains messages that are ready to be sent. If you are
creating several messages, 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.

If you have selected connection type IMAP for your email
account, you can subscribe to remote folders on your email
server. (To select connection type, see “Email account basic tab
settings” on page 159.) By default you subscribe to an Inbox
folder.
Note If you change connection type, your Inbox will be emptied.
Use the Get&send command to download your messages again.
See “Get and send” on page 96.
To subscribe to a new remote folder
1. From the folder menu, select Subscribe.
2. Select the check box for the folders you wish to subscribe to.
3. Tap Done.
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.
The new folders are shown in the folder list. Your subscribed
folders will be shown in a flat structure, that is, subfolders will
be shown on the same level as main folders. Use the Get&send

MMS service and how the receiving phone complies to MMS
specifications. Phones can, for example, only receieve pictures
of a maximum size, video and sound.

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.
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.
• from a Memory Stick.
• as an email attachment.
There are two types of installation files for applications:
Installing applications on your
P910a
• SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910a or other
Sony Ericsson devices.
Installation file security
• from other 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.
130
Installing applications
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
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.

Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Connecting to other devices
Your P910a can be connected to other devices with similar
interfaces such as PCs, other P910as and handheld computers.
The connection can be made via:
• Bluetooth wireless technology (not together with
Windows 98)
PC connectivity software
Your P910a is delivered with a CD, Sony Ericsson PC Suite. This
software must be installed in the PC you want to connect to. See
‘Installing applications’ on page 130 for more information. You
do not need to install the Sony Ericsson PC Suite if you only want
to perform beaming with the PC or use a cordless headset.
• Cable
• Infrared (IrDA)
Note Bluetooth wireless technology and infrared transmitting
are rather power consuming. Do not have them on more than
necessary.
Depending on the type of connection you have chosen, you can
use your P910a to perform various tasks, for example:
• Sending and receiving files via infrared or Bluetooth wireless
technology – ‘beaming’.
• Making Backup/Restore and Synchronization of your data
and file transfer (cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless
technology).
You can even use your P910a as a modem for Dial-Up
Networking using cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless
technology. With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can for
example, connect a cordless headset.
Connection via SyncStation
Connect the SyncStation to your PC with the USB cable. A
wizard helps you to install the USB cable the first time. The
Sony Ericsson PC Suite CD contains the necessary software.
Put your P910a in the SyncStation. A new wizard starts which
helps you to connect your P910a if this is the first time.

Connection via Infrared port
When connecting via the infrared port, make sure that both
devices are placed within one metre from each other and that the
infrared ports have a free line of sight between them.
Both your P910a and the device you connect to must have their
infrared ports activated before communication can begin.
To activate the infrared port on the P910a
1. Go to Control panel > Connections > Infrared.
2. Set the P910a to PC connect or Modem as required.
3. Set the port state to On or On for 10 minutes.
You can also change the infrared port state with the flip closed,
in the Connections application.

Connecting to other devices
in the status area to the right on the taskbar.
2. Select Properties
3. Select the Infrared check box
4. Click Close.
Note Clear the Infrared check box when ready.
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 dialog box appears with
three options: Delete, View or Done. Delete deletes the item; View
opens the associated application which shows the item; Done
saves it in the Beamed folder in Messages.
Connection via Bluetooth
wireless technology
You can connect your P910a to other products equipped with
Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs, car handsfree
devices, or other mobile phones, and exchange data. Since
Bluetooth wireless technology is radio-based, there does not
have to be a free line of sight between transmitting and receiving
devices. This means that your P910a can stay in your pocket
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
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.
Connecting to other devices
135
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
To let another device initiate pairing with your P910a
1. In Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings, set
Bluetooth to On.
2. Follow the other device’s manual to initiate pairing.
3. When asked for a passcode, enter the same on both devices.
4. If in the future you want to allow a paired device to connect
to your P910a 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 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
visible mode.
2. In Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings, set
Bluetooth to On.
3. Follow the headphone’s manual to initiate pairing on the
headphone.
136
Connecting to other devices
4. In the Devices tab tap Add. Your P910a searches for all

Allow to connect without confirmation.
To remove a paired device from your P910a
Select a device in the list and select Remove.
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.
Preliminary Layla850 P1B
Send and receive
You can send items via Bluetooth wireless technology in any
application if there is a Send as command. To send, select

with a CLI matching that contact (not all numbers can be
displayed). The contact’s picture is also displayed when you
make a call to that person.
Your P910a can play both iMelody format and polyphonic ring
signals in WAV, AU, AMR, MIDI, RMF, and MP3 sound file
formats. When you choose a ring signal, your P910a will scan
the internal and Memory Stick storage and present you with a
list of ring signals that are in these formats. Recordings you
have made using Sound Recorder can also be selected.
Ring signals can be added by downloading from the Internet,

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.

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.
The settings Precedence, Delay, Peak rate, and Mean

Setting the Preferred mode lets you choose how you want to use
your P910a:
• Select GPRS only if you do not want to be disturbed by
incoming phone calls while browsing the Web. All incoming
voice (and GSM data) calls are rejected. If you disconnect
from the Internet, incoming calls can be received. Outgoing
calls are possible, except during data transfer. This mode is
useful if you are using sensitive Internet services, such as
banking.
• If you select GSM only, your P910a will not be connected to
the GPRS network. If you choose to download email or
browse the Web, your P910a will connect to GPRS only as
long as is needed for the data connection.
• If you select Automatic, your P910a will let you answer
incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS
functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily
interrupted by a voice call.

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 P910a 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 P910a informs you, and gives
you the following choices:
• Prevent the page being loaded or the software being installed.

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
P910a 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 P910a when the server
only requires server authentication. This means that your
identity remains anonymous.
• 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

needed, your company information services department will
supply the necessary information.
There are two types of passwords needed:
• IP security password: is to be set when activating the very
first policy, that is, this password is only set once, but it is
possible to change it later at any time by tapping the
Password button.
To conserve storage space only a limited set of languages is
loaded on your P910a 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 P910a. You can, at any time,
download additional languages from www.sonyericsson.com/

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 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
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

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:

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
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
183
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.
184
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
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.
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.
