communicating with the Venturi server. In the rare case of this happening, Venturi will automatically

resume working as soon as it's able to reach the server. While in bypass mode you will still be able to

access web pages, but Venturi compression will not occur.

The spinning V, as you browse web pages, is an indication that Venturi is working.

Task Tray Options

If you right click on the Venturi task tray icon ("V") a menu will appear.

"About Venturi"

will display the version of the client.

Speed/Image Selection

- You have the option of selecting the quality of graphics you want Venturi to

provide by clicking on one of the four car images. It's a tradeoff between speed and image quality.

With any of these settings, you can always force a web page to load with uncompressed

images by doing a forced refresh. If using Internet Explorer this is accomplished by holding

down the "Ctrl" key + "Alt" key + the "Shift" key and then clicking on the refresh icon. If using

Netscape, hold down the shift key and click on the "Reload" icon.

"OFF" and "AUTO"

clicking on these allows you to switch the client between "AUTO" and "OFF" (or

"ON" and "OFF", if configured for manual mode).

If you are using VPN (Virtual Private Networking) or are connected wirelessly to a private network or

Internet Service Provider where the Verizon Wireless Venturi servers are not reachable, you may want

to turn Venturi off so you don't have to wait for it to determine that no server is available and switch into

its bypass mode. Also, in the rare case you have an issue accessing a particular site, you can also

temporarily turn Venturi off. Remember to turn it back on when you want to use it.

/ Quick 2 Net version of Venturi is configured by default to use

Auto mode. This means that it loads, turns off ("V" in tray with a "X" through it), and expects an

external program to turn it on ("V" without the "X") when you connect wirelessly and turn it off when you

disconnect. The VZAccess Manager software performs these functions.

"Default Venturi Server"

displays the address for the Venturi compression servers on the Verizon

Wireless Network, this is set to expressnet.myvzw.com. By default this value can not be changed but
