Blazer
If you can’t hold the world in the palm of your hand, at least you can hold the World Wide Web
when you use Blazer to browse the Internet on your communicator’s screen.
To use Blazer, you must su bscribe to data services from your wireless service provid er, and you
must have an account est ablished with an ISP ( Internet Service Provid er). Many wireless servi ce
providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service
provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-
ROM, the installation program w ill set up Blazer for use with that provider.

Viewing web pages
You can view web pages whenever you are inside a coverage area. If you are outside a coverage
area, you can view web pages that are stored temporarily on your communicator in an area called
the “cache.” However, if a page stored in the cache has an expiration date and it is past that date,
you need to establish an Internet connection to view that page.
