Selecting
Once you’ve learned how to activate softkeys, you can start
navigating wireless Internet sites.
Select on-screen items by using the Navigation key to
highlight the desired item, then activate the desired
softkey by pressing
.
You'll find that the left softkey is used primarily for selecting
items. This softkey is often labeled “OK,” but don’t confuse it
with the
on your phone, which always activates the
highlighted softkey.
If the items on a page are numbered, you can also use
your keypad (number keys) to select an item.
Links, which appear [in brackets], allow you to jump to
different wireless Internet pages, select special functions or
even place phone calls.
Select links by highlighting the link, and then activating
the appropriate softkey, which is usually, (but not
always), the left softkey.
Going Home
To return to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page,
highlight the
Home
softkey and press
.
Going to a Wireless Web Internet Site
From the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page, you can go to
a wireless Internet site simply by highlighting the desired
site name and activating the
OK
softkey. Note that the list of
wireless Internet sites extends beyond one page.
Select
More...
to see additional site listings.
To access a site that does not appear on the Home Page,
use the
Go To...
function (on page 3 of the Home Page).
You'll be required to enter the URL (site address) for the
site you want to visit. It is not necessary to enter “http://”
before the site name. Only HDML and WML sites are
accessible.

Using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Using the Browser is easy once you’ve learned a few basics.
Here are some tips for navigating the Sprint PCS Wireless
Web:
Softkeys
The bottom line of the Browser contains a row of softkeys.
These are your main controls for getting around.
To activate a softkey:
Press the Navigation key left or right to highlight the
desired softkey, then press
.
Press the Navigation key right a few times and you’ll see
more softkeys. Depending on the wireless Internet site you’re
using, the first two softkeys may change names and
functions, but the other softkeys are always available and
give you access to these special features:
Home
accesses the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page.
Help
opens the Browser Menu (see “The Browser Menu”
on page 129).
Mark
creates a bookmark for the current page.
Scrolling
As with other parts of your phone’s menu, you’ll have to
scroll up and down to see everything on some wireless
Internet sites.
Press the Navigation key up or down to scroll line by line.
You can also use the keys on the side of your phone to
quickly scroll one page at a time rather than one line at a
time.
