way to keep the P800 up-to-date while on the move. Using 
GPRS, the P800 can be continuously connected to the remote 
synchronization server. 
Synchronization services may be offered by mobile operators, 
third-party service providers and as added capability to 
corporate PIM applications.
Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks can be synchronized remotely.

Backing up dataYou can use the 
P800 Backup and Restore 
PC software to back up 
the contents stored in your P800 to your computer. Keeping 
backups of your P800 contents on your computer means that 
you have a separate copy of the contents of the P800, which can 
be restored into the P800. Backups should be made on a regular 
basis. See the online help for 
P800 Backup and Restore 
for more 
information on how to use the application.
Note All user data will be deleted when the P800 software is 
upgraded by a Service Partner. Always back up your data before 
handing over the P800 for upgrading, so that you can restore it 
afterwards
PreconditionsThe 
PC Suite for P800
 must be installed in the PC and the P800 
must be connected to the PC via cable.

							134Personalizing your P800This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. SETTINGSPersonalizing your P800There are a number of ways you can give your P800 a personal 
touch and change its settings to suit your requirements.Changing your application 
shortcutsIn flip closed
The standby screen displayed when the flip is closed shows five 
short-cuts to applications. You can change them, rearrange them 
as you prefer, or even hide them, if you wish.
Control panel > Device > Flip closed shortcuts
In flip open
It is possible to change all the icons shown in the Application 
picker screen area except for the Application launcher icon  . 
To change the icons, select    Applications
 > View > Preferences
Setting a background pictureYou can change the background image (wallpaper) for the 
standby screen in 
Control panel > Device > Display. 
You can use 
any image stored internally or on a Memory Stick Duo.
TipMore background images can be found on the Multimedia 
P800 CD, delivered with your P800.
You can obtain suitable background picture files by 
downloading, beaming using Bluetooth or infrared, or 
transferring them using cable from your PC.
Background picture images are 208 x 144 pixels and the picture 
can be seen in the standby screen.(Any chosen picture will be 
scaled to fit the screen).The images can be JPEG, GIF, BMP, 
WBMP, MBM or PNG format.
Setting a Screen SaverYou can set a screen saver picture to be displayed after a period 
of inactivity. See “Display” on page 138. Key lock and device 
lock may be used in combination with the screen saver. When 
you press a key or touch the screen, you will be prompted to 
activate keys and/or enter the device lock code. 
						

							Personalizing your P800135This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. The images can be JPEG, GIF (including animated), BMP, 
WBMP, MBM or PNG format. Image format for the screen 
saver is 208 x 320 pixels.
Note Using animated GIF uses more power.Adding images to your 
ContactsYou can store a picture with 
each entry in Contacts. See 
“Creating and managing 
contacts” on page 97.
Pictures are easily taken using 
the CommuniCam (see 
“CommuniCam and Pictures” 
on page 59) though of course 
other images can be used.
If your network operator provides a CLI (Calling Line Identity) 
service, your P800 can display the contact’s picture together 
with the other information when an incoming call is received 
with a CLI matching that contact (not all numbers can be 
displayed). The contact’s picture is also displayed when you 
make a call to that person. To show the contact’s picture when receiving an incoming call
1. Select 
Phone > Edit >Preferences > Incoming call picture
2. Select the 
Show picture for incoming calls
 check box.
3. Tap 
Done
.
Ring signalsYour P800 can play both iMelody format and polyphonic 
ringsignals in WAV, AU, AMR, MIDI and RMF sound file 
formats. When you choose a ring signal, your P800 will scan the 
internal and Memory Stick storage and present you with a list of 
ring signals that are in these formats. Recordings you have made 
using Voice Memo can also be selected. Ring signals can be 
added by downloading from the internet, beaming using infrared 
or Bluetooth wireless technology file transfer from a PC and by 
using Memory Stick. Extra ring signals can be found on the 
Multimedia for P800 CD-ROM. You can add as many ring 
signals as desired, subject only to available storage space.
TipVoice Memo recordings are listed as voicenote and a 
number, for example voicenote1470.
A ring signal may be selected for an entry in  Contacts, so that 
the caller can be identified by the ring signal that is played. See 
“To personalize the ring melody for a contact” on page 97.
Note The mobile network must provide the CLI (Calling Line 
Identity) of the caller to enable the contact to be identified.

							Control panel137This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Control panel The Control Panel is the location for all the main settings on 
your P800 that are system-wide and affect more than one 
application. This is the main place to go to initially set up your 
P800, and to change settings at any point thereafter. To access it, 
select 
Applications >  Control Panel
.
Note Settings for Flight mode and P800 locks are found under 
Phone > Edit > PreferencesTipYou can find settings that apply to a single application in the Preferences
 menu of the application, for example: 
Phone > Edit 
>Preferences, CommuniCam > CommuniCam > Preferences, Internet > 
Edit > Preferences
The sections below describe the settings available for each of 
the default items in the 
Control panel.
THE
 D
EVICE
 TAB
The device tab contains settings related to the behavior of your 
P800 device itself.Certificate managerDigital certificates ensure that the web or WAP pages you visit, 
or any software you install, really are created by the person you 
expect.Certificates may be present on the pages that you view or the 
software that you download. Your P800 compares these 
certificates with a set of certificates that are stored in 
Certificate 
manager
 to ensure the authenticity of the page or software. If the 
certificates do not match, your P800 informs you, and gives you 
the following choices:
• Prevent the page being loaded or the software being installed.
• Continue at your own risk.
The certificates on your P800 have been created and issued by 
an independent organization that ensures their authenticity.
Security informationSecurity information is displayed when 
Certificate manager
 
cannot be sure of the origin of the page or software. For 
example, security information will be displayed if:
• The certificate on a page has expired.
• The identity of a software manufacturer cannot be verified.
Security information is also displayed when a certificate on your 
P800 has:
• Expired.
• Been revoked by the independent organization that issued it. 
						

							138Control panelThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Adding and removing certificatesYour P800 handles certificates automatically so, most of the 
time, you can browse the Internet securely without using Certificate manager
. If you do need to add or remove a certificate, 
you will usually be informed by your network operator or 
system administrator. You should remove a certificate from 
Certificate manager
 if you are informed, or suspect, that:
• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.
• The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent 
organization that created it.
Type of certificateThe type can be either 
Certificate Authority
 or 
User
. 
•
Certificate Authority
 certificates contain server details. This 
type of certificate is handled by your P800 when the server 
only requires server authentication. This means that your 
identity remains anonymous. 
•
User
 certificates contain your identity. This type of certificate 
is used when the server asks for client authentication. The 
client application requests you to identify yourself by 
choosing a user certificate.
DisplayUse the 
Display 
settings to control the screen and power 
functions of your P800. 
WallpaperYou can set a picture to be the background for the standby
