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.

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

1. Ensure that your P910a is turned off.

Note It is important that you always turn off your P910a before removing the battery. Failure to do so can result in loss of information.

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.

Preliminary Layla850 P1B

Charging the battery

• When the battery needs to be charged, a beep is heard. The indicator light (on the top of your P910a) flashes red and a battery low message appears on the screen.

• The battery can be charged whenever you want. The P910a performance is not affected. However, using your P910a while charging increases the charging time.

To charge the battery

The P910a can be charged either when it is switched on or off.

1. Make sure the battery is inserted in your P910a and the cover is closed.

2. Connect the charger to the P910a 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 P910a showing a steady red light (or green, if the P910a is switched on).

See also ‘Battery Use and Care’ on page 184.

4. Wait approximately 4 hours or until the battery meter on the screen is full and the indicator on the top of the P910a 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.

Care instructions

Your P910a is a highly sophisticated electronic device. To get the most out of it, please make sure that you follow this advice:

• Keep the P910a in its protective bag when not using it.

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 See ‘Format disk’ on page 165.

• Select

Renaming will not erase any data.

Control Panel > Other > Format disk

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.

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.

War ning! 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)

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 27

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

, 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.
