Blazer Web Browser
If you can’t hold the world in the palm of your hand, at least you can hold the World Wide Web
when you use Blazer to browse the Internet on your handheld’s screen.
In Blazer, you can do the following:
■ Access the World Wide Web and display Internet content.
■ Create up to 100 bookmarks for quick and convenient access to your favorite web sites.
■ Navigate between web pages with familiar toolbar icons.
To use Blazer, you must subscribe to data services from your wireless service provider, and you
must have an account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service
providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service
provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-
ROM, the installation program will set up Blazer for use with that provider.
Note: If you already installed the desktop software from the Handspring CD-ROM but didn’t
configure the wireless communication settings, double-click the Configure Wireless
Suite icon in the Palm folder and follow the instructions on the screen
Viewing web pages
You can view web pages whenever you connect to your mobile phone via the IR port or a special
cable. If you are outside a coverage area, you can view web pages that are stored temporarily on
your handheld in an area called the “cache.” However, if a page stored in the cache has an
expiration date and it is past that date, you need to establish an Internet connection to view that
page.
To view a web page:
1. Prepare your handheld and mobile phone for data communications. See page 180 for details.
2. Press Option and then press Menu to access the Applications Launcher.
3. Use the scroll buttons to select the Blazer icon .
4. Press Return to launch the application.
5. Press Menu .
6. Under Go, select Go to Web Page (/G).
Tip: You can also tap the Folder icon to open the Go to Web Page dialog box.
