Show Pictures
By default, the Web Browser will display Web pictures on your device. If you do not want to have pictures
displayed on your device (it can take a while), do the following:
1 From the Jump screen select Web Browser.
2 Open the menu and select Settings. The Settings screen opens.
3 Scroll to highlight the Show Pictures check box.
4 Press the wheel to clear the check mark from the box. Now pictures will not display.
5 To have pictures show again, highlight the check box with the wheel, then press to place a check mark in the
box.
Clear History
History contains a chronological list of Web pages you have visited (up to 100). To remove all Web pages from
the list, press the Clear History button.
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,
press the Clear Cache button. Note that this may take a while. You’ll be notified when the cookies have 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, press the Clear
Cookies button.
Status Indicators
When a Web page is being loaded, you will see (at the bottom of your screen), the following status indicators:
The remote server is being contacted for the page you
requested.
The page you requested is being downloaded from the
remote server onto the service.
The page you requested is being displayed to the device.
You may not see this indicator if the Web page displays
quickly.
