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.

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 “Phone book” on page 49.
