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

‘Charging the battery’ on page 13.

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 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.

22 Getting to know your P910a

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.

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 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.

28 Getting to know your P910a

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.

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 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.
