Show Pictures
You can decide if you want the Web Browser to display Web pictures on your device by doing the following while
in the Web Browser application:
1
From the Web Browser screen, press
Menu
then select
Settings
.
2
On the Settings screen, scroll to highlight the
Show Pictures
check box.
3
To have pictures display, press the wheel to select the check box; to prevent pictures from displaying, press
the wheel to clear the check box.
Clear History
History contains a chronological list of Web pages you have visited (up to 100). To remove all Web pages from
the list, scroll to highlight the
Clear History
button, then press the wheel to select it. Note that when you clear
your history, you also clear your Recent Pages list.
Clear Cache
The device cache stores temporary Internet files such as Web pages and files (such as graphics). The device
allocates up to 800 KB for the cache. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already
seen because the browser can open them from your device memory rather than the Web.
To clear your cache, scroll to highlight the
Clear Cache
button, then press the wheel to select it. Note that this
may take a while. You’ll be notified when the cache has been cleared.
Clear Cookies
Many Web sites save information to your system (the Web proxy service in this case) so sites can “remember”
information you’ve entered (including which pages you’ve visited within their site) for future reference. This
information is stored in a small text file, called a cookie. Know that only the information you type while visiting a
Web site can be stored. Also, know that the presence of a cookie does not allow any external Web site access to
other information on your device. A Web site can only read the cookie that it created.
If you want to delete all the cookies stored for your account on the Web proxy service database, scroll to
highlight the
Clear Cookies
button, then press the wheel to select it.
