    							122Installing applicationsThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Installing applicationsIt is possible to install new applications in your P800. These 
    applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:
    • from the Internet.
    •from a CD.
    • from a Memory Stick Duo.
    • as an e-mail attachment.
    • from other devices.
    There are two types of installation files for applications:
    • SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P800 or other 
    Sony Ericsson devices.
    • MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java 
    Archive).
    Note SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one 
    or several files.
    This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for 
    example, system components and add-ons.Applications from developers outside Sony Ericsson, so called 
    third-party developers, might be installed in the P800. 
    Applications which are not approved by Sony Ericsson are not 
    guaranteed to work correctly or securely, and users install them 
    at their own risk. Product failures caused by applications not 
    approved or made for Sony Ericsson will not be covered by your 
    warranty.
    Installing applications on your 
    P800Installation file securityInstallation files in SIS format are typically used for installation 
    of Epoc or PersonalJava ™ applications or other content into the 
    P800 file system.The vendor who prepared the SIS file decides 
    where in the file system the various content of the SIS file will 
    be installed. This means that you need to decide if you trust that 
    the SIS file does not contain harmful content. If you know for 
    sure who produced the SIS file then you can take an installation 
    decision based on what you know about that vendor. Your P800 
    supports cryptographic verification of vendor identity. 
    						
    							Installing applications123This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. During installation the P800 verifies a digital signature and 
    certificate in the SIS file against a root certificate in the phone. 
    Successful verification means that you can trust who produced 
    the SIS file and that the content has not been modified after it 
    was created. If the SIS file does not contain a digital signature 
    you will be given a warning about the problem but you can still 
    decide to proceed with installation at your own risk. In general it 
    is recommended that you install only from SIS files where the 
    vendor identity and file integrity can be verified. 
    Note Installation of uncertified applications may cause your 
    system to crash and all your data will then be lost.
    MIDP applications run in a protected environment with no 
    access to sensitive information so no signatures are required for 
    MIDP JAR files. From a PCPC Suite for P800
     must be installed in your PC and the P800 must 
    be connected to the PC via SyncStation, infrared, or Bluetooth

    							Connecting to other devices125This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Connecting to other devicesYour P800 can be connected to other devices with similar 
    interfaces such as PCs, other P800s and handheld computers.
    The connection can be made via:
    • Bluetooth wireless technology
    •Cable
    • Infrared (IrDA)
    Once it has been connected, you can perform various tasks, 
    depending on what type of connection you have chosen, such as:
    • Using a cordless headset (Bluetooth wireless technology)
    • Sending and receiving files via (infrared, Bluetooth wireless 
    technology) – ‘beaming’
    • Making Backup/Restore and Synchronization of your data 
    and file transfer. (Cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless 
    technology)
    • Using the P800 as a modem for Dial-Up Networking.   
    (Cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless technology)
    PC connectivity softwareYour P800 is delivered with a CD, 
    PC Suite for P800
    . This 
    software must be installed in the PC you want to connect to. See 
    “Installing applications” on page 122 for more information. 
    You do not need to install the 
    PC Suite for P800
     if you only want 
    to perform beaming with the PC or use a cordless headset.
    Connection via SyncStationConnect the SyncStation to your PC with the USB cable. A 
    wizard helps you to install the USB cable the first time. The 
    PC 
    Suite for P800
     CD contains necessary software.
    Put your P800 in the SyncStation. A new wizard starts which 
    helps you to connect your P800 if this is the first time.   
    appears in the status area to the right on the taskbar when the 
    P800 is connected.
    When connecting via cable, the P800 can be set in PC connect 
    mode or Modem mode. The setting is made in 
    Control panel > 
    Connections > Cable
    , see “Cable” on page 144.

    cases. In your PC select 
    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Phone 
    Monitor Options > COM Ports and disable the COM port to which 
    the cable is connected.
    Connection via infrared portWhen connecting via the infrared port, make sure that both 
    devices are placed within one meter from each other and that the 
    infrared ports have a free line of sight between them.
    Both your P800 and the device you connect to must have their 
    infrared ports activated before communication can begin.
    To activate the infrared port on the P800
    • Go to 
    Control panel > Connections > Infrared port
     and set the port 
    state to 
    On or 
    On for 10 minutes.
    You can also change the infrared port state with the flip closed, 
    in the 
    Connections
     application.To activate the infrared port on the PC
    1. Right click    in the status area to the right on the taskbar.

    							Connecting to other devices127This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Connection via Bluetooth 
    wireless technologyYou can connect your P800 to other products equipped with 
    Bluetooth wireless technology, for example PCs or other mobile 
    phones, and exchange data. Since Bluetooth wireless technology 
    is radio-based, there does not have to be a free line of sight 
    between transmitting and receiving devices. This means that 
    your P800 can stay in your pocket while communicating. 
    However, objects between transmitting and receiving devices 
    might weaken the signal.
    Connection to another device can be made within a range of up 
    to 10 meters. Obstructions between the transmitting devices will 
    have an effect on the performance. For all tasks, except 
    beaming, it is necessary that you first set up a permanent and 
    trusted relationship between your P800 and the other device. 
    This process is called pairing (other documentation may refer to 
    it as bonding). The paired devices are remembered by your P800 
    also after you have turned it off so you do not need to repeat the 
    process for every connection with those devices. The reason for 
    pairing is to simplify future connections and to make them 
    secure – only paired devices can connect to your P800.
    Activating Bluetooth wireless technology Activate Bluetooth wireless technology on your P800 in 
    Control 
    panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
    . Set 
    Operation mode
     to 
    Auto
    , On or 
    Discoverable
     and set 
    Receiving items 
    to Always receive
    , 
    Ask first
     or 
    Never receive
    . See “Control panel” on page 137 for 
    more information on Bluetooth wireless technology settings.
    The Bluetooth wireless technology operation mode is also 
    possible to change with the flip closed, through the 
    Connections
     
    application. When the Bluetooth wireless technology is 
    activated,  appears on the screen and the left indicator on top 
    of your P800 blinks blue.
    PairingTo let your P800 initiate pairing with another device, such as a 
    headset
    1. In 
    Control panel > Connections> Bluetooth > Settings
    , set 
    Operation 
    mode
     to 
    Discoverable.
    2. Set the other device to be discoverable.
    3. In the 
    Devices
     tab, tap
     Add
    . Your P800 searches for all devices 
    in the vicinity and lists them.
    4. Select the device you want your P800 to pair with and, enter 
    a passkey when asked for it. When the passkey is accepted, 
    the pairing process is complete, refer to “Passkeys” on 
    page 128.

    to your P800 without you explicitly approving each 
    connection you should select 
    Control panel > Connections > 
    Bluetooth > Devices,
     then select a device and the check box 
    Allow to connect without confirmation
    .
    To let another device initiate pairing with your P800
    1. In 
    Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
    , set 
    Operation mode
     to 
    Discoverable
    .
    2. Follow the other device’s manual to initiate pairing.
    3. When asked for a passkey, enter the same on both devices.
    4. If you in the future want to allow a paired device to connect 
    to your P800 without you explicitly approving each 
    connection you should select Control panel > Connections > 
    Bluetooth > Devices, 
    select a device and the check box 
    Allow to 
    connect without confirmation
    .
    TipYou can change the name of a paired device. When you pair 
    with other Bluetooth wireless technology enabled phones, it is 
    very useful to include the users name as part of the device 
    name. This will make it very easy to beam information to the 
    desired recipients.
    To let a headphone initiate pairing with your P800
    1. In 
    Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > Settings
    , set 
    Operation mode
     to 
    Discoverable
    .2. Follow the headphone’s manual to initiate pairing on the 
    headphone.
    3.  In the 
    Devices
     tab tap 
    Add
    . Your P800 searches for all devices 
    in the vicinity and lists them.
    4. When asked for a passkey, enter the headphone’s passkey on 
    your P800.
    5. If you in the future want to allow the headphone to connect to 
    your P800 without you explicitly approving each connection, 
    you should select 
    Control panel > Connections > Bluetooth > 
    Devices
    , select the headphone and the check box 
    Allow to 
    connect without confirmation
    .
    To remove a paired device from your P800
    • Select a device in the list and select 
    Remove
    .
    PasskeysPasskeys ensure that the device you pair with really is the device 
    you think it is. A passkey is a set of numbers and/or letters (at 
    least four characters) that you agree to exchange with the owner 
    of the other device. Simply agree a passcode with the other user 
    and each enter the same code into both devices when asked for 
    it. The actual code is up to you; the important thing is that you 
    both enter the same code. Accessories like headsets often have a 
    default passkey, usually ‘0000’, see the specific user’s guide.

    							130Synchronization and backupThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Synchronization and backupWith 
    PC Suite for P800
     installed in your PC, your P800 can 
    synchronize with the following PC applications, also called 
    Personal Information Managers (PIMs):
    • Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6
    • Lotus® Notes® 4.6, 5.0
    • Microsoft® Outlook® 98, 2000, 2002
    Synchronization is divided into local and remote. Local 
    synchronization is performed directly to a connected PC while 
    remote synchronization is done over the air with a remote server 
    in, for example, a corporate network.
    The manual describes the easiest way to perform the tasks but 
    you can also carry out most of them by selecting 
    Start > Programs 
    > Sony Ericsson > P800
     in the PC and then select the desired 
    command.
    Refer to the online help find in 
    Help
     in the menu bar in the PC 
    software to get more information about synchronization and 
    backup.
    Note If you have imported SIM phone book entries into 
    Contacts
     
    in your P800, those entries will not be synchronized with the 
    corresponding entries in your PC when synchronizing your 
    P800 and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P800.
    Local synchronizationLocal synchronization is done with either cable, infrared or 
    Bluetooth wireless technology, the functionality is the same.
    E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Jotter notes (only text) 
    can be synchronized locally.Local synchronization settingsLocal synchronization is initiated from the PC and all settings 
    are made in the P800 PC software (included on the 
    PC Suite for 
    P800
     CD).
