®
(Ypage 113) or USB (Ypage 170).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,

nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,

make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth
®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined (
Ypage 144) or manual access data
(Ypage 144) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on
the mobile phone may be overwritten. You
