the card to be displayed.

nected to a Phone.Com. gateway.

the list of bookmarks.

Facts & Tips
• The Home deck is your WAP service
main menu.
• The scroll bar at the right-hand side
of the display indicates the amount of
text before and after that actually
shown in the display.
• The data online indicator is
flashing only during a data call. Under
Display symbols on p. 83 you can see
other indicators related to the WAP
browser.
• The editor modes and
cannot be used when operat-
ing the WAP browser.
• The cache is a special memory
where the cards you have visited dur-
ing an Internet session are stored.
When you return to a previously visit-
ed card, the browser will display it
from the cache instead of retrieving it
again from the server, which results in
a much shorter access time.

Your phone supports WAP
(Wireless Application Protocol)
based services. WAP is a technolo-
gy designed to provide you with
wireless access to the Internet.
The contents of the individual
services depend on the network
service provider, and you must fol-
low the provider’s instructions to
make use of the services. Typical
WAP applications are news, weath-
er forecasts, online banking, flight
schedules, etc.
Before you can use the WAP serv-
ices via the telephone, you must
set up the WAP connection settings
in the Message setup menu (p. 69).
Some of the WAP connection set-
tings may be sent to you from the
provider as an OTA message (Over
The Air) ready for you to store.
In the following description, a
»card« refers to what you see in
one screen on the display. You can
scroll through different cards by
means of the arrow keys. A collec-
tion of cards which belong together
is referred to as a »deck«.
Activating the WAP browser
The WAP browser will be activated
automatically when you have
selected »Browser Menu« in the
List menu.
The first time you activate the
WAP browser, it will take a few
seconds before the Home deck is
presented to you, as the WAP
browser needs to contact the gate-
way and calculate a security key.
After this first activation the
Home deck will be stored in the
WAP browser memory cache
allowing immediate display without
connection to the gateway.
The phone will inform you
whether the data transmission
between your phone and the gate-
way is secure (encrypted) or not.
Navigating with the WAP
browser
When the connection to the gate-
way has been established, the
Home deck will be shown in the
display.
Some of the listed selection cards
have a number in front of them. To
select a card, scroll through the items
by means of the arrow keys and con-
firm by pressing »SELECT«, or press
the corresponding number key.
Go to next card
Press .
Using hyperlinks
Use the arrow keys to scroll
through the hyperlinks available.
Select the hyperlink you want to
use by pressing »GO TO«.
Go to previous card or deck
Press »BACK«.
Go to Home deck
Hold down »BACK«.
Exit the browser
Press »END« when the Home deck
is displayed.
