Procedure and general information
If you are using Internet access for the first
time, you must enable the connected mobile
phone for Internet access (
Ypage 177). If the
connected mobile phone supports the Blue-
tooth
®PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet con-
nection is established. If the connected
mobile phone does not support the named

While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the set-
