Getting Connected
Connecting to the Internet
Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the internet or your
corporate network.
Ways of Connecting to the Internet
You can use the default connection settings to connect to the internet through
your mobile network (GPRS/3G/EDGE), or Wi-Fi.
GPRS/3G/EDGE
Use GPRS/3G/EDGE to connect to the internet and to send and receive MMS/
email messages on your BASE Tab. You will need a data plan to use your wireless
service provider’s GPRS/3G/EDGE network. Check with your wireless service
provider for GPRS/3G/EDGE rates. If the GPRS/3G/EDGE settings are not pre-
confi gured on your device, contact your operator for the parameters. Do not
change the settings as this may cause services to stop working.
