Browser Menu

Your phone supports WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) based services. WAP is a technolo- gy designed to provide you with wireless access to the Internet.

The contents of the individual services depend on the network service provider, and you must fol- low the provider’s instructions to make use of the services. Typical WAP applications are news, weath- er forecasts, online banking, flight schedules, etc.

Before you can use the WAP services via the telephone, you must set up the WAP connection settings in the Message setup menu (p. 69). Your network service provider may have already set your Internet access profiles for you.

In the following description, a »card« refers to what you see in one screen on the display. You can scroll through different cards by means of the arrow keys. A collec- tion of cards which belong together is referred to as a »deck«.

Activating the WAP browser

The WAP browser will be activated automatically when you have selected »Browser Menu« in the List menu.

The first time you activate the WAP browser, it will take a few seconds before the Home deck is presented to you, as the WAP browser needs to contact the gateway and maybe calculate a security key.

After this first activation the Home deck will be stored in the WAP browser memory cache allowing immediate display without connection to the gateway.

The phone will inform you whether the data transmission between your phone and the gateway is secure (encrypted) or not.

Navigating with the WAP browser

When the connection to the gate- way has been established, the Home deck will be shown in the display.

Some of the listed selection cards have a number in front of them. To select a card, scroll through the items by means of the arrow keys and con- firm by pressing »Link«, or press the corresponding number key. Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down in the actual card.

Go to link

When one or more lines are under- lined, a link is selected. Press the right-hand function key to display the card corresponding to the link. The text above the right function key may vary from card to card.

Go to previous card or deck

Press »BACK«.

Go to Home deck

Hold down »BACK« for 1 second.

Exit the browser

Press »QUIT« when the Home deck is displayed, or hold down »BACK« for more than 2 seconds. You can also exit the browser by holding down the side volume-up key on the right-hand side of the phone.

Some cards give access to an option menu where you can find more functions. Press »OPTION« to enter the menu.

Using the WAP browser menu

The browser menu is accessed by means of the volume-down side key on the right-hand of the telephone. The browser menu includes the fol- lowing sub-menus:

Reload

Reload one or more cards from the server or from the internal memory of the phone in order to update old cards.

Home

Return to your Home deck.

Available only when you are con- nected to a Phone.Com. gateway.

Mark site

Mark the current card to add it to the list of bookmarks.

Available only when you are con- nected to a Phone.Com. gateway.

Facts & Tips

•The Home deck is your WAP service main menu.

•The cache is a special memory where the cards you have visited dur- ing an Internet session are stored. When you return to a previously visit- ed card, the browser will display it from the cache instead of retrieving it again from the server, which results in a much shorter access time.

•The WAP browser feature is under- going continuous development and tests. We therfore reserve the right to make changes and improvements of the descriptions in this user guide without prior notice.
