3. Using Your Phone
The first few days you have your phone, play with it to learn how the menu and submenu system works. The more you learn how to access these menus and submenus, the more fun you’ll have with your phone.
This section describes the different methods of using your phone menus and submenus.
What is the ‘start screen’?
The start screen appears when you first turn your phone on, in its idle state.
Anytime you want to get to the start screen, press 
, except during a call (unless you want to hang up).
CAUTION: If you press 
when the phone is requesting input (for example, a setting, phone number, name, etc.), the phone displays the start screen, the input is not saved, and the option is not selected.
Navigating tools
Softkeys
Your phone has two softkeys that appear below the display. Their current function is indicated by the words appearing above them. Simply press the corresponding key under the choice you wish to select.
This illustration shows the phone at the start screen. The start screen always displays Menu on the left and Names on the right. Menu allows you to access your phone’s menus and submenus. Names allows you to access your phone book.
See “Using Shortcuts” on page 10 and “Personal Tone” on page 50.
Scroll key 
Your phone has a scroll key located just below your display. It has two arrows on it that look like σ and τ . Press the scroll key up or down to navigate through your phone’s menus and submenus. You can also use it to scroll through names and numbers in your phone book.
Also, when editing names and numbers (e.g. numbers in your phone book), you may notice a cursor flashing within the name or number. Pressing the scroll key up or down moves the cursor within the text, allowing you to insert letters, numbers, or special characters via the keypad.
See “Entering text and numbers” on page 35 for more details.
Scroll bar
When you access your phone’s menu and submenus, you will notice a scroll bar at the far right of the screen. This bar indicates where you are in the menu structure; each “tab” on the bar represents a different menu item.
For example, press Menu once. The scroll bar appears with the first (top) tab displayed. A different tab appears each time you press the τ or σ key to move up and down through the menu structure. The scroll bar works the same way with submenus.
Scrolling through the main menu
Press Menu at the start screen. Then press τ or σ to reach the desired menu item.
Press Select, Options or OK (whichever appears) to enter submenus and to choose options.
Press Exit to exit the present menu or Back to go back one level.
