FAQ

Is text being truncated? - eg, the Advanced Searching link may display as AVS.
The screens delivered to WAP devices are very brief. Get to know the AirPAC interface via the web browser on your computer, so that you understand the links on your WAP device.
On a Blackberry, use a browser such as Opera rather than the Blackberry proprietary browser.
