Connecting to other devices
Your P910a can be connected to other devices with similar 
interfaces such as PCs, other P910as and handheld computers.
The connection can be made via:
• Bluetooth wireless technology (not together with 
Windows 98)
• Cable
• Infrared (IrDA)
Note Bluetooth wireless technology and infrared transmitting 
are rather power consuming. Do not have them on more than 
necessary.
Depending on the type of connection you have chosen, you can 
use your P910a to perform various tasks, for example:
• Sending and receiving files via infrared or Bluetooth wireless 
technology – ‘beaming’.
• Making Backup/Restore and Synchronization of your data 
and file transfer (cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless 
technology).
You can even use your P910a as a modem for Dial-Up 
Networking using cable, infrared and Bluetooth wireless 
technology. With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can for 
example, connect a cordless headset.
PC connectivity software
Your P910a is delivered with a CD, 
Sony Ericsson PC Suite
. This 
software must be installed in the PC you want to connect to. See 
‘Installing applications’ on page 130 for more information. You 
do not need to install the 
Sony Ericsson PC Suite 
if you only want 
to perform beaming with the PC or use a cordless headset.
Connection via SyncStation
Connect the SyncStation to your PC with the USB cable. A 
wizard helps you to install the USB cable the first time. The 
Sony Ericsson PC Suite 
CD contains the necessary software.
Put your P910a in the SyncStation. A new wizard starts which 
helps you to connect your P910a if this is the first time. 
appears in the status area to the right on the taskbar when 
the P910a is connected.
When connecting via cable, the P910a can be set in PC Connect 
mode or Modem mode. The setting is made in 
Control panel > 
Connections > Cable
Set the P910a in 
PC connect 
mode for
• Synchronization.
• Installation of software.
