When your web connection is active (data is being transferred). Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail. Outgoing voice calls can be made but the web connection will terminate.

When your web connection is dormant (no data is being sent or received). Though not currently active, when dormant the phone can restart an active connection quickly and voice calls can be made and received.

Navigating the Wireless Web

Navigating through menus and Web sites during a web session is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting around:

Softkeys

When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phone's display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to the softkey buttons directly below the phone’s display screen. Depending on which Web sites you visit, the labels on the softkeys may change to indicate their function.

To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey button, select the menu items using your keypad (if they’re numbered) or by highlighting the option and pressing MENUOK .

Scrolling

As with other parts of your phone's menu, you have to scroll up and down to see everything on some Web sites.

•Press the navigation key up and down to scroll line by line or press the volume buttons on the side of the phone to scroll one page at a time.

Navigating Between Web Pages

Once you've learned how to use softkeys and scroll, you can start navigating Web sites.

•Select on-screen items by using the navigation key to highlight the desired item and pressing the desired softkey button (or pressing MENUOK ).

You'll find that the left softkey is used primarily for selecting items. This softkey is often labeled OK.

•If the items on a page are numbered, you can use your keypad (number keys) to select an item.

Links, which appear as underlined text, allow you to jump to different Web pages, select special functions, or even place phone calls.

•Select links by highlighting the link and selecting the appropriate softkey.
