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.

Battery

Before you use your P910i for the first time, charge the battery provided for at least 4 hours. Use the supplied charger. See

‘Charging the battery’ on page 13.

Insertion and removal

To insert the battery

1. Ensure that the flip is closed.

2. Remove the battery cover by sliding it downwards.

3. Place the battery in the battery compartment and close the cover.

To remove the battery

2.Remove the battery cover by sliding it downwards.

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

4.Take out the battery.

12 Getting to know your P910i

Charging the battery

•When the battery needs to be charged, a beep is heard. The indicator light (on the top of your P910i) flashes red and a battery low message appears on the screen.

•The battery can be charged whenever you want. The P910i performance is not affected. However, using your P910i while charging increases the charging time.

To charge the battery

The P910i can be charged either when it is switched on or off.

1.Make sure the battery is inserted in your P910i and the cover is closed.

2. Connect the charger to the P910i at the base of the phone by the flash symbol. The charger plug flash symbol must face upwards.

3.Connect the charger to the mains.

Charging is indicated by the battery icon on the screen pulsing continuously, and the indicator at the top of the P910i showing a steady red light (or green, if the P910i is switched on).

See also ‘Battery Use and Care’ on page 183.

4. Wait approximately 4 hours or until the battery meter on the screen is full and the indicator on the top of the P910i shows a steady green light.

5. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Tip You can also use other battery chargers that have been supplied with other Sony Ericsson mobile phones using the same connector plug, for example, T300 or P900.

Note When the battery is completely discharged, or new, it may take up to 30 minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen.

•Beam the phonebook entries from the other phone by infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology and save the set to

Contacts. See ‘Creating and editing contacts’ on page 104.

•Synchronize the SIM and the internal memory on the other phone with one of the PC PIM (Personal Information Management, for example, Calendar, Contacts) applications supported by your P910i. Then you can synchronize this information with Contacts.

Note When you synchronize Contacts with your PC PIM application, the SIM information will not be synchronized. You might get two versions of the same contact. See ‘Synchronization and backup’ on page 138.

•Phonebook entries stored on your SIM card are accessible

through Contacts. Select SIM in the folders menu to the right in the menu bar to see the list of entries in your SIM

phonebook. These entries can be imported to Contacts. 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 Duo™. 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.

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 28. 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 28.

22 Getting to know your P910i

Formatting a Memory Stick

New Memory Sticks are normally automatically formatted first time they are inserted in a phone. The phone stops working during the formatting and it can take some time.

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 P910i 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 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 structure as well as other Memory Stick content in My P910i.

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.)

Updating the software

With Sony Ericsson Update Service you can keep your phone updated with the latest P910i software. See “Sony Ericsson Update Service” on page 132 how to download the software from the Internet.

General functions

Application launcher views

In flip open, the P910i can present the applications in two ways:

•List view (small icons appear in one column)

•Icon view (large icons appear in two columns)

Folders

Folders are used to organize information, for example contacts, jotter entries, or task lists. You might want to organize your contacts in business and personal folders.

Folders are also used when managing files of different types on your P910i 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 P910i to a PC and view the contents of your P910i in My P910i, 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 P910i, whether a file in an Unfiled folder is located on your P910i 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 P910i, 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

28 Getting to know your P910i

folder does not display the entries in the SIM phonebook). 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.

To move a file from one folder to another

Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the destination folder.

To copy a file to another folder

1.Open the file in detail view. In the folder menu, select the destination folder. Select Copy to in the main application menu; for example Music or Pictures.

2.Select the destination Folder from the list and tap Copy.

Tip To delete multiple files in an application you can use Storage manager. See ‘Deleting or copying general files’ on page 167.

Managing your files

Using the File Manager, you can handle the content and organization of media, both in the P910i 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.

Getting to know your P910i

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 P910i. 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.

Sending and receiving items

From many applications it is possible to exchange items like appointments, contacts and images.

To send an item using Send as

1.Enter the Send as menu in the specific application.

2.Depending on the application and item, you can choose between the following transfer methods:

•Text message (using SMS): P910i will create a new text

message. Add the mobile number of the recipient and tap

Send.

•Email: the P910i will create a new message with the item

included as an attachment. Complete with address and subject, and tap Send.

•Multimedia message (using MMS): the P910i will create a new

message with the item included as an attachment. Complete the message and tap Send.

•Infrared: align the infrared port of the P910i with the infrared

port of the other device. Select Send. Messages on screen will tell you when the information has been transferred.

•Bluetooth wireless technology: the P910i will search the local

area for Bluetooth devices that are set to be visible. These will be presented in a list. Select a device to which the item is to be sent and select Send. Progress messages will tell you when the information has been transferred.

Tip The other devices must have Bluetooth wireless technology enabled. You can select Refresh to perform a new search if, for example, a destination device was not enabled at first.
