Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:
You are connected to the 1xRTT data network. Data is being transferred (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls.
You are connected to the network but data is not currently being transferred (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Web Connection” on page 94.
Navigating the Web
Navigating through menus and websites during a data session is easy once you’ve learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting around.
Softkeys
During a data session, the bottom line of your phone’s display screen contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to the softkeys directly below the phone’s display screen.
Tip | Depending on which websites you visit, the labels on the |
| softkeys may change to indicate their function. |

To use softkeys:
Press a softkey. (If an additional .)
Scrolling
As with other parts of your phone’s menu, you’ll have to scroll up and down to see everything on some websites.
To scroll line by line through websites:
Press the navigation key up or down.
