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.

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.
