Personalizing your P800

There are a number of ways you can give your P800 a personal touch and change its settings to suit your requirements.

Changing your application shortcuts

The standby screen displayed when the flip is closed shows five short-cuts to applications.

From the Control panel you

can change them, rearrange them as you prefer, or even hide them, if you wish. See

“Application shortcuts” on page 23.

Displaying the Area Code in the

Standby Screen

If your network operator provides CBS (Cell Broadcast Services) with cell information you can set your P800 to display the area code below the network name in the standby view. See “CBS tab” on page 140.

Setting a background picture

From the Control panel you can set a background picture for the stand-by screen. See “Wallpaper” on page 127.

You can obtain suitable background picture files by downloading, beaming using Bluetooth or Infrared, or transferring them from your PC.

Background picture images are 208 x 144 pixels and the picture can be seen in the standby screen.(Any chosen picture will be scaled to fit well on the screen).The images can be JPEG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM or PNG format.

Setting a Screen Saver

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 P800 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 P800 informs you, and gives you the following choices:

•Prevent the page being loaded or the software being installed.

•Continue at your own risk.

Certificate manager

The certificates on your P800 have been created and issued by an independent organisation that ensures their authenticity.

Security information

Security information is displayed when Certificate manager cannot be sure of the origin of the page or software. For example, security information will be displayed if:

•The certificate on a page has expired.

•The identity of a software manufacturer cannot be verified.

Security information is also displayed when a certificate on your P800 has:

•Expired.

•Been revoked by the independent organisation that issued it.

Adding and removing certificates

Your P800 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 remove a certificate, you will usually be informed by your network operator or system administrator. You should remove a certificate from

if you are informed, or suspect, that:

• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.

Preliminary

•The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent organisation that created it.

Type of certificate

The type can be either Certificate Authority or User.

•Certificate Authority certificates contain server details. This

type of certificate is handled by your P800 when the server only requires server authentication. This means that your identity remains anonymous.

•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.
