Navigating the Web

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 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 you see an additional pop-up menu when you press the softkey, select the menu items using your keypad [if they’re numbered], or by highlighting the option and pressing Softkeys.)

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 and down.

Selecting

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

To select onscreen items:

Use the navigation key to highlight an item, and then press the left softkey (or press To use softkeys:).

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

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

To select links:

Highlight the link and press the appropriate softkey.

Going Back

To go back one page:

Press the Scrolling key on your phone.
