Using Dual Mode
The Dual Mode feature allows you to switch between Cursor Mode
(the default mode) and Button Mode.
In Button Mode, you can use the virtual buttons on the Dual Mode
Pad which provide convenient shortcuts to frequently used
applications. You can also use the volume control bar to adjust the
system volume quickly and easily.
Using the Virtual Buttons
The Dual Mode Pad has six virtual buttons and a volume control
bar. Each virtual button can be configured to start an application.
The volume control bar is used to adjust the system volume level.
