Clear History
History contains a chronological list of Web pages you have visited (up to 100). To remove all Web pages from
the list, scroll to highlight the Clear History button, then press the wheel to select it. Note that when you clear
your history, you also clear your Recent Pages list.
Clear Cache
The device cache stores temporary Internet files such as Web pages and files (such as graphics). The device
allocates up to 800 KB for the cache. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already
seen because the browser can open them from your device memory rather than the Web.
To clear your cache, scroll to highlight the Clear Cache button, then press the wheel to select it. Note that this
may take a while. You’ll be notified when the cache has been cleared.
Clear Cookies
Many Web sites save information to your system (the Web proxy service in this case) so sites can “remember”
information you’ve entered (including which pages you’ve visited within their site) for future reference. This
information is stored in a small text file, called a cookie. Know that only the information you type while visiting a
Web site can be stored. Also, know that the presence of a cookie does not allow any external Web site access to
other information on your device. A Web site can only read the cookie that it created.
If you want to delete all the cookies stored for your account on the Web proxy service database, scroll to
highlight the Clear Cookies button, then press the wheel to select it.
