Open application icons

At the bottom of the Pepper pad screen is an area that displays icons for all

of the applications that you currently have open. The left-most open application icon is always the icon for the Keeper. Tapping one of these icons displays the application. You can switch between open applications simply by tapping different application icons.

Instant messaging window

The IM window is the place where you send and receive AOL IM and local network IM messages. The illustration of the Pepper interface shows the IM window open, but it will be closed when you display the Keeper for the first time. See “Using instant messaging” on page 17 for more information about instant messaging.

Status icons

Status icons are displayed on the bottom right of the screen. You will always see a battery icon here. When the battery is charging, this icon displays a lightning bolt. Otherwise, the icon shows the amount of charge left in the battery.

You will also always see the Wi-Fi connection icon. When your pad is not connected to a Wi-Fi network, this icon will be displayed with a red X through it.

An instant messaging icon will be displayed when you are logged on to AOL IM or local network IM.

While you are downloading something from the Web, a download icon will be displayed.

Selecting, opening, and playing

The navigation pad below the left keypad gives you a convenient way to select an icon or an entry on a tab page. Then, you can open your selection (if it is an application or something like an e-mail message) or play it (if it is something like a video).

To select an icon or table entry, use one of the arrow keys to highlight the icon or entry.

To open the icon or play the entry, press the center of the navigation pad or the Enter key on the right keypad.

You can also play music or a video by pressing the Play media control key on the right keypad (see page 9 for an illustration of the symbols on media control keys) or by tapping the icon or the entry with the stylus or your finger.
