Changing the Network preferences

Selecting a connection

Use the Connection setting to select the method you want to use to connect to your Internet Service Provider or a dial-in server.

On the Network Preferences screen, tap the arrow V next to Connection and select Standard Modem.

Adding telephone settings

When you select the Phone field, your CLIÉ handheld opens a dialog box in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note

The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.
