12. Mobile web
Mobile web
is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5, for
more information.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on
the mobile Internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you
can view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information,
and much more. The Web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia.
Nokia does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you
should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any
Internet site.
If the security indicator (
) is displayed during a connection, the data transmission
between the device and the Internet gateway or server is encrypted. The service
provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate
security and protection against harmful software.
■ Mobile Internet access
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile Internet service provider as well.
Your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser to go to
this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. Once at your service provider’s
home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone.
Normally this is done by your wireless provider when you subscribe to the
feature. Contact your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
■ Sign on to the mobile Internet
In the standby mode, select
Menu
>
Mobile web
.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s
home page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for
browsing. Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is
configured properly.

■ Navigate the mobile Internet
Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile
Internet content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing.
This section contains guidelines for using phone keys to navigate a WAP site.
Phone keys
•
To browse the WAP site, scroll up or down.
•
Select a highlighted item.
•
To enter text, press # to switch text input modes, and then press 0-9.
•
To enter special characters, press *.
Receive a call while online
Depending on your wireless service provider, you may still be able to receive a
voice call while using the WAP browser.
•
To answer the incoming call, press the call key.
•
To reject the incoming call, press the end key.
After you end your voice call, the mobile Internet connection automatically resumes.
If your wireless service provider does not support incoming calls while browsing,
incoming calls are automatically forwarded to voice mail.
Make an emergency call while online
You can end your data connection and make an emergency call.
1. To close your mobile Internet connection, press the end key.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.
3. Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911).
Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
Clear the cache and disconnect
A cache is a memory location that is used to store data temporarily. If you have
tried to access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords,
empty the cache after each use. The information or services you have accessed
are stored in the cache. To empty the cache while in the browser menu, select
Navigate > Advanced > Clear. Highlight and select Cache > Clear. The cache also
clears when you press and hold the end key to power off your device.
To close your mobile Internet connection while browsing, press the end key.
