You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will
launch without placing a call. This is because the phone
stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The
MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a
page that's not stored in the cache.
If the phone has been inactive for awhile and a new wireless
Internet site has not been requested, the MiniBrowser will
automatically disconnect. The MiniBrowser will remain
active – only the connection will end. The MiniBrowser will
automatically reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet
site that's not stored in the phone's memory cache. For this
reason, you may find that you are billed for several network
connections within a single session. This is normal and is
designed to minimize airtime charges.
When launching the MiniBrowser, you may need to take an
extra step or see a reminder that MiniBrowser calls will be
charged. If you need to take an extra step, see “Web Guard”
on page xx to disable the setting.
