Formatting a Memory Stick

New Memory Sticks are normally automatically formatted first time they are inserted in a phone. The phone stops working during the formatting and it can take some time.

Note Do not remove a Memory Stick during formatting. If removed it will be unusable.

If you need to reformat a Memory Stick, select Control Panel

> Other > Format disk and tap Format, or select File manager >

File > Format disk and tap Format. When you format a Memory 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.

Warning! 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 mice. (Memory Stick adapter required.)
