Activating web access and creating profiles

When you first setup your phone the info menu will show the default profile, which is called Home (the name is shown at the top of the screen). This profile has access to Internet content for weather, channels (news and sports), and Yahoo! Local search. To customize internet content see pages 70-75.

In addition to the Home profile, you can create up to eight individual profiles for different people. By activating your phone on the web and creating profiles you can customize the same Internet content as the Home profile and have access to Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Address Book.

Step 1: Press to display the default info menu.

Step 2: Press the Users softkey and then press the New softkey.

Step 3: From your computer, open a web browser and navigate to https://infophone.com.

Step 4: A Welcome to infoPhone.com page will be displayed. Click Activate a new account or Activate on the page and the screen below will be displayed.

��Creating personal profiles allows you to password protect your personal options and access

Yahoo! services like Mail, Instant Messenger and Address Book, which is not possible with the

Home profile.
