Blazer
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 communicator’s screen.
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, select Configure Your Treo under
Handspring (or Palm) on the Windows Start menu, and follow the instructions on the
screen.
Viewing web pages
You can view web pages whenever you are inside a coverage area. If you are outside a coverage
area, you can view web pages that are stored temporarily on your communicator 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.
Tip: You can tell whether you are inside a coverage area by looking at the signal strength
indicator in the lower right corner of the screen.
To view a web page:
1. Make sure wireless mode is on. See page 18 for details.
2. Press the Blazer button on the front panel of your communicator.
Note: If a different application appears when you press the button, your wireless
service provider installed another application as the default web browser.
To launch Blazer, tap the Applications icon , and then tap the Blazer icon .
3. Tap the Folder icon .
4. Enter the URL you want to view.
5. Tap OK.
