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 phonebook 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 P910i.

Open the battery cover by pressing slightly on its upper part and slide it down the P910i. Insert the SIM card as shown in the picture.

Some subscriptions are limited to call only predefined numbers, so-called Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN). To avoid problems when traveling 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 106.

Memory Stick

Memory Sticks provide a convenient way of increasing the storage space in your P910i. You can use both Memory Stick® Duo™ and Memory Stick® PRO Du o ™. You can save pictures, video clips, music, and voice recordings as well as computer data and applications on a Memory Stick and use it to store or transfer the contents for many different purposes. These include:

• Storing backup copies of important files.

• Storing media for personalizing your P910i.

• Storing media for use when composing MMS messages.

• Storing installation files for new applications.

• Transferring data between the P910i 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 P910i or the Memory Stick.

The Memory Stick supplied with the P910i may or may not be a version that contains the lock function. Remember, you can overwrite existing files without the lock function.

Stick, you delete all the information on it, including any applications that you may have installed.

Sharing data with other devices

Your P910i uses the shorter Memory Stick variants, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo.

Compatibility

The P910i 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 P910i 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 P910i (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 P910i is connected to your PC, you also have access to the P910i folder

My P910i

structure as well as other Memory Stick content in

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.

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 mice. (Memory Stick adapter required.)

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 P910i, including applications from developers outside Sony Ericsson.

The phone includes useful features such as:

• Personalized ring types.

• Picture phonebook.

• Quick access back to the entries in Contacts, making it easy to try an alternative number or send a message if the contact is unavailable or busy.

• Voice-dialing – make a call by saying the contact’s name.

• Voice answer – an incoming call may be answered or sent a busy signal, using the words recorded for ‘answer’ and ‘busy’.

• Incoming call acceptance limit – specify those who should be able to reach you.

• Access to other applications while talking on the phone.

• 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 P910i 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 the Jog Dial and the keypad. More advanced tasks such as handling a conference calls or using other applications during a call are best handled with the flip open.

Some options may be hidden or not available depending on your subscription.

Solitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards and up to 4 Jokers.

The purpose of Solitaire is to remove all the ca rds from the pile s to the layout card while scoring as many points as possible.

Games 85

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 dec k 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.

Play Solitaire

Solitaire is only available with the flip open.

1. Select the icon for Solitaire.

The game will either start with a new game or with the layout for an earlier, interrupted game. (the game data is saved on return to desktop, when the flip is closed or when the battery is low).

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 P910i as a text message.

If your P910i is already connected to the Internet when you send an email, it will remain connected after sending it. If your P910i

is not connected before sending an email, it will connect and send the message, and then disconnect.

If your connection is GPRS, it may be suspended to enable a phone call to be made or received. You may need to repeat the data activity (Web page fetch, get email) after the call has ended.

If your P910i cannot connect to the email account, automatic download will fail, and will be displayed next to the email account.

A scheduled download will fail if your P910i is engaged in a voice call. It may fail if it is connected to another ISP, that is, through a different Internet account than specified for the email account.

If email messages are not downloaded because a scheduled download fails, they will be downloaded during the next successful connection.
