Web/MiniBrowser
Your phone comes equipped with wireless Internet access by using the
MiniBrowser. The MiniBrowser allows you to access up-to-the-minute
information through your phone. View specially designed versions of
popular Internet sites which may include news, sports, weather, stock
quotes, etc. Browsing the web through your phone is unlike using your
personal computer since site providers have selected only the critical aspects of
the site to present to wireless phone users and have removed most graphics.
Each time you launch the MiniBrowser, the phone connects to the
Internet and the service indicator icon ( ) displays. Any time the
service indicator icon is visible on the display, you are connected to the
Internet and are invoiced accordingly. Rates and pricing vary
according to your service option.
The MiniBrowser disconnects an Internet connection after a certain
period of inactivity, however some information from your session
remains stored in the phone, and (if you leave your phone turned on)
you can access this information without reconnecting to the Internet. If
you are viewing this stored information, and you select a link to a site
that was not accessed in your last session, then you will be
automatically re-connected to the Internet. For this reason, you may
find that you are billed for several network connections within a single
session. This is normal and is designed to minimize your bill.
Note:
The phone must be in a digital network to use the MiniBrowser.
When you are in a digital network, the icon is displayed.
Launching the MiniBrowser
Note:
The first time you use the MiniBrowser, you will be required to go
through a security setup process that takes approximately three to five minutes.
Please follow the on-screen prompts to complete the security setup process.
This initial setup process occurs only the first time you access the service.
Note:
When the security key is initially sent to the carrier, it creates a unique
value. If the phone is reset for any reason, you must contact the carrier to reset
the security key. The old key is no longer valid and will not allow the
MiniBrowser to operate correctly.
To launch the MiniBrowser:
1.
From the standby mode, press the navigation key right, or press [MENU] [3 DEF].
2.
Press [1 .-’] to launch the MiniBrowser.
Note:
A reminder of the charge may appear (depending on your prompt
setting - see “ The MiniBrowser start and end prompts ” on page 73). To
dismiss the prompt, simply choose yes or no. If no prompt is displayed, you
are immediately connected to the
Internet
.
3. Once connected, the Home page (or the last page visited) will be
displayed. To access the Home menu page from any other menu in the
MiniBrowser, press and hold [MENU].
