While connecting, you may see an animation before the home
page appears.
Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data connection
through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbol
is used:
Your phone is connected to the high-speed network
(EVDO). When the triangles are animated, your phone is
transferring data (for example, when you are opening a
Web page); when the triangles are gray, your phone is
connected to the network but is not currently transferring
data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is
completely open).
Your phone is connected to the data network. When the
arrows are white, your phone is transferring data (for
example, when you are opening a Web page) and you
cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, your phone
is connected to the network but is not currently transferring
data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is
completely open), and you can receive calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current
data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Web
Connection” on page 97.
Navigating the Web
Navigating through menus and websites during a data session is
easy once you’ve learned a few basics. Here are some tips for
getting around.
Softkeys
During a data session, the bottom line of your phone’s display
screen contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut
controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to
the softkeys directly below the phone’s display screen.
Tip
For instant access to the Internet, including the home page,
Favorites, and Search, use the main screen carousel. See
section 2B, “Navigating the Main Screen,” on page 30 for
details.
Tip
To change the default launch page to the last page you viewed,
press
TOOLBAR
(right softkey) and select
OPTIONS >
Advanced > Startup page > The last page I viewed > DONE
(left softkey).
Tip
Depending on which websites you visit, the labels on the
softkeys may change to indicate their function.
