Warning!
Your phone must be
switched on to use this function.
Do not switch the phone on when
wireless phone use is prohibited
or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Important:
This feature is
available only if your service
provider’s network supports
mobile internet access. Your
service provider may also require
that you subscribe to this
additional service. For more
information, contact your service
provider.
The Minibrowser feature allows you to
access special Internet content designed
specifically for viewing from your mobile
phone. You can use your phone’s
minibrowser to view news, get weather
reports, check flight times, access
financial information, download new
ringing tones or graphics, etc. The
browser’s menu allows you to save
addresses of Web sites as bookmarks, so
you can return to your favorite sites
quickly and easily.
• UNDERSTAND BROWSING
SESSIONS AND
INDICATORS
When you launch the minibrowser, two
icons appear on the screen:
- Minibrowser icon (you are in a
minibrowser session)
- Active call icon (you are being
billed accordingly)
The minibrowser disconnects you from
the network after a period of inactivity.
This is normal and is designed to
minimize your bill. You may find, however,
that you are billed for several network
connections within a single session.
When the minibrowser disconnects from
the network, only the browser icon
remains. While browsing, you can still
access pages stored in memory without
being connected to the Internet.
However, if you navigate to a page that is
not stored in memory, a new connection
is established and you’ll be billed
accordingly.
• LAUNCHING THE
MINIBROWSER
The first time you launch the
minibrowser, you go through a security
setup process that takes three to five
minutes (follow the on-screen prompts).
