111 Internet
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to run the Internet
program?
You do not have to be connected to the Internet to run the Internet program, so
long as you only want to look at pages stored on a local disk. These could be
pages you have saved from an earlier connection to the web, or ones you have
transferred to your MC 218 from another machine. In reality, however, you
will mostly use the Internet program to retrieve and display pages from other
machines on the World Wide Web, for which a connection to the Internet is
necessary.
Note! Before you can connect using the Internet program you need to enter
the setup information in the Control panel. For further information about this,
refer to the “Setting Up the Internet and Message Programs” chapter.
To start the Internet program:
• On the program icon bar, tap the Internet quick launch icon.
When you first start the Internet program, it will open the home page. Initially,
this is a file that is stored on the MC 218, so you do not need a connection to
the web in order to view it. See the section of this chapter called “Setting a
Home Page” for details of how to change the home page.
To start a connection to the World Wide Web:
1. Make sure your mobile phone is fitted with an infrared modem and that the
modem is enabled, or alternatively, connect your MC 218 to a to a fixed
line modem and the modem to a phone line, making sure they are set up
and configured correctly. For more information on setting up for an
infrared or fixed line connection, see the “Setting Up the Internet and
Message Programs” chapter.
2. Position the two infrared ports of the MC 218 and your phone towards
each other, no more than one metre apart (if applicable).
3. Open the web page you want by performing any of the following actions:
• Tap once in the Location line, then type the web address of a page you
want to view and press Enter.
• Tapping on a link to the web site in the standard home page.
• Selecting Open web page on the File menu and entering the web
address of a page you want to open.
• Tapping the Search page button on the toolbar to open the search page
in order to find information.
• If you have already bookmarked web pages, selecting Bookmarks on
the toolbar and tapping on a bookmark associated with a remote web
address, then selecting Go to.
Any of these will instruct the Internet program to open a page which is not
stored on your MC 218. This will start the modem dialling and initiate a
connection to your network service.
