You can connect to
Internet Explorer
in two ways: by connecting the Ikôn directly to the In-
ternet or by connecting through your PC while the Ikôn is attached via ActiveSync (see
“ActiveSync®” on page 85).
5.18.1 Browsing Web Sites
There is little difference between the standard Internet Explorer found on your PC and that
found on your Ikôn, sometimes referred to as
Pocket Internet Explorer
. You can enter URLs,
set a ‘home page’, turn images on and off, e-mail links to friends, and so on.
To go to a web site:
•
Connect your Ikôn to the Internet. (If you’re not certain how to do this, tap on
Start>Internet Explorer
to display a blank window. Next, tap on
Start>Help
and
follow the steps listed.)
•
Tap on
Start>Programs>Internet Explorer
to open
Internet Explorer
.
If
Internet Explorer
is listed in the
Start
menu rather in the
Program
screen, tap
on
Start>Internet Explorer
.
•
Tap on the address bar – the field near the top of the screen where URLs are entered – to
highlight the current URL.
•
Type a new URL in the address bar.
Tapping on the
softkeys
in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen display
Internet Ex-
plorer
commands like those you find on your PC.
