Blazer
If you can’t hold the world in the palm of your hand, at least you can hold the World Wide Web
when you use Blazer to browse the Internet on your communicator’s screen.
In most cases, your communicator is pre-configured with your wireless service provider’s settings.
If it is not pre-configured, contact your wireless service provider to obtain the correct settings and
follow the instructions on page 184 to configure a new service template.
To use Blazer, you must subscribe to GPRS and Internet services from your wireless service
provider. If you prefer, you can dial-in to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) account. However, to
use a dial-up connection, your wireless service account must also include circuit switched data
(CSD) services. See page 184 for information on configuring a dial-up service template.
Viewing web pages
You can view web pages whenever you are inside a coverage area. If you are outside a coverage
area, you can view web pages that are stored temporarily on your communicator in an area called
the “cache.” However, if a page stored in the cache has an expiration date and it is past that date,
you need to establish an Internet connection to view that page.
Tip: You can tell whether you are inside a coverage area by looking at the signal strength
indicator in the lower right corner of the screen.
To view a web page:
1. Make sure wireless mode is on. See page 19 for details.
2. Press Blazer .
Note: If a different application appears when you press Blazer , your wireless service
provider installed another application as the default web browser. To launch Blazer,
press Option , press Menu , and then tap the Blazer icon .
3. Press Menu .
4. Under Go, select Go to Web Page (/G).
Tip: You can also tap the Folder icon to open the Go to Web Page dialog box.
