This is where you set the amount of compression for
images. We recommend that you leave the setting as it
is for now. You can access this at anytime that you
are surfing to speed up pages or improve image quality.
Once you have surfed with it for a while, you will have
more of an idea of what setting is best for you.
To change the setting click on the gray rectangle on
the line and drag it back and forth. Pay attention to
the images above too see the effect it has on the images
as you go back and forth. This will give you an idea
of how the images will look on the pages. This is dependant
on how each individual image is already compressed.
Images that have been compressed already will not be
as clear as images that have not.
Click OK when you have set it and are ready to try it
out. |

up procedure. Open your dialer and click Dial or Connect.

NOTE:
Your computer may not display these dialogue balloons
but there will always be some sort of image in the tasktray
that will indicate you are connected. To identify any
of the icons in your tasktray, hold your mouse button
over the icon and a text tag will show up to tell you
what it is. |

Next you will want to open up a browser such as Internet
Explorer or Netscape and do some surfing. Notice the
quality of the images on the pages. If the image quality
is good and you want to speed up page loads, click on
the SCR Online Web Accelerator icon in the tasktray
and select Settings. Adjust the compression towards
the Low (Faster) then go to another page and see how
that looks. Remember that you can turn this off at any
time by clicking the icon and selecting Stop SCR Accelerator.
