Using your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 with the Logitech wireless hub
Introduction
If you have a Sony Ericsson P800/P900 mobile phone you can connect it to your
computer through the Bluetooth
®
wireless hub provided with your Logitech
®
product. Do so and discover what cordless freedom offers: communicate
efficiently, share information without wires, save time.
With your Logitech wireless hub it’s easy to get organized fast…
• Quick and easy synchronization lets you share a single address book,
calendar, and notes between your computer and Sony Ericsson P800/P900.
• Forget the frustration of entering names and numbers into both your phone
and computer – just enter them once and transfer them!
• Even losing your mobile phone doesn’t mean losing your phone book,
because you’ve got the details on your computer ready to quickly upload to
your next mobile phone.
Sharing pictures has never been easier. You can transfer pictures between your
computer and mobile phone, perhaps to personalize your phone with your
favorite photograph or share photographs with your friends. Just a few clicks is
all it takes.
And remember, no wires or cables. You can do all of this while moving around,
even with your phone in your pocket, as long as you stay in range – typically up
to 30 feet or 10 meters depending on your surroundings. What’s more, solid
objects won’t cause a problem because there does not need to be a line-of-sight
connection between your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 and Logitech wireless hub.
In short, connecting a Sony Ericsson P800/P900 to your Logitech wireless hub
means you can work and communicate more effectively.
Welcome to the expanding world of cordless freedom offered through your
Logitech wireless hub.

Get connected
Connecting your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 mobile phone to your computer is
easy. A wizard guides you through the steps involved, including discovering your
device and pairing it with your computer.
The procedure described below for discovering, pairing and setting up
services does not actually connect your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 and
your computer. This is because the two devices do not actually need to
connect until information is transferred, whether through synchronizing or
transferring pictures.

discoverable mode. On your phone, tap Control panel in the main menu
and Bluetooth at the Connections tab. Next, from the Settings tab, select
‘Discoverable’ from the Operation mode drop-down list and ‘Always
receive’ from the Receiving items drop-down list. Tap Done when you
have finished this process.
2. Start the Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
The easiest way to do this is to press the Connect button on the front of
your Bluetooth

Using your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 with the Logitech wireless hub
Get organized - synchronize!
Having paired your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 mobile phone with your computer,
you’re able to synchronize the contact information it contains and the contact
information on your computer. (If you haven’t paired the device yet, see
Connecting your Sony Ericsson P800/P900
up-to-date without having to key in all the details twice.
Synchronizing - why, what, and when
Wondering what synchronizing is all about... why you may want to do it, what
gets synchronized, and how often? Read on…
Why should I synchronize?
First of all, synchronizing is easy and can save you lots of time. And, thanks to
your Logitech wireless hub, it can be done quickly and simply without wires or
cables, so there’s no need to plug your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 into your
computer.
, page 6.) This keeps both devices
The information you can synchronize is held in Personal Information Manager
(PIM) databases, such as the address book in Microsoft
Outlook and your
phone book in your mobile phone, and therefore this is sometimes referred to as
PIM Synchronization.
An example of time-saving synchronization is if you have all your contacts
stored on your computer and have recently bought a Sony Ericsson P800/P900.
Without plugging in cables you can get all the telephone numbers, email
addresses, and calendar appointments onto your Sony Ericsson P800/P900.
On the other hand, you may have your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 phone book
full of information that you want to put into a program (such as Outlook
). Again,
without cables, you can transfer all the details.
What information is synchronized?
The information that is synchronized depends on the programs you have on
your computer, the method you use to synchronize, and the settings you have
chosen…
Your Sony Ericsson P800/P900’s phone book details are always synchronized.
For each contact this can include their name, their home, work and mobile
telephone numbers, and their email address.
© 2003 Logitech, Inc.
14
Using your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 with the Logitech wireless hub
As well as your Sony Ericsson P800/P900’s phone book, more information may
be synchronized, as determined by the options you select the first time you
synchronize, such as:
• Contacts
• Calendar Items
• Tasks
• Jotter Notes
• Email Messages
During the synchronization process, if an item is on your computer but not on
your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 (or the other way round), then it is created on
your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 (or computer) during synchronization. What’s
more, if an item has been updated on either device it is automatically updated
on the other device.
It’s totally up to you how much data you choose to synchronize.
When do I synchronize?
The frequency you should synchronize depends on how often you change the
details on your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 or computer, and how important it is to
you to have the two sets of details matching and up to date.
For example, you may want to keep your list of telephone numbers on your
computer and on your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 similar but not necessarily
identical all the time. In this case, you would synchronize the details
occasionally, for example when you’ve added or changed a few telephone
numbers in one of the places.
Alternatively, you may choose to keep your calendar appointments on your office
computer but also need them on your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 when you are
away from the office, for meetings, appointments, and so on. In this case, you
may want to synchronize the information daily.
If you want to keep all the information on more than one computer (for example,
one at home and one at work), you can easily do so. Simply, synchronize your
Sony Ericsson P800/P900 with all of the computers you want to store the
information on. And, you can do it without the hassle of carrying cables around
with your Sony Ericsson P800/P900 and plugging them in to each computer!
The first time you synchronize, it can take typically between ten and
fifteen minutes. Subsequent synchronizations are much quicker.
