 Navigating the Web
Navigating through menus and Web sites during a PCS Vision 
session is easy once youve learned a few basics. Here are some 
tips for getting around:
Softkeys
When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phones 
display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut 
controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to 
the softkey buttons directly below the phone’s display screen. 
Depending on which Web sites you visit, the labels on the 
softkeys may change to indicate their function.
To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an 
additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey 
button, select the menu items using your keypad (if they’re 
numbered) or by highlighting the option and pressing 
.

As with other parts of your phones menu, youll have to scroll 
up and down to see everything on some Web sites.
Press the navigation key up and down to scroll line by line 
or press the volume buttons on the side of the phone to  
scroll one page at a time.
