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. 63).
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.

way has been established, the
Home deck will be shown in the
