Shows device status
information, including the
time, signal strength, battery
status, and notification icons.
Application Icon
Tap an icon (application,
widget, folder, etc.) to open
and use it.
Quick Keys
Provide easy, one-touch
access to the functions used
most often.
Apps Key
Tap here to open the Applications
screen to view all of your installed
applications.
Front Touch Keys
Displayed on all screens, these keys
allow you to easily navigate within
the device software.
NOTE From the Home screen, tap the Menu Key (in the Front Touch Keys bar), tap Home
screen settings, then checkmark Portrait view only to keep the Home screen from
rotating to landscape view. This is a separate setting from the Auto-rotate screen
setting that applies to the rest of the screens.
Quick Keys
The Quick Keys are located in a bar at the bottom of the Home screen (in
portrait view).
NOTE Five icons are displayed, but the Quick Keys bar can hold up to seven icons. You can
modify the icons in this bar to suit your needs.
