4. 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.

The Display

Soft keys

Your phone has two softkeys located below the display. The current function is indicated by the texts appearing directly above them. Press the corresponding key under the choice you wish to select.

This illustration shows the phone at the start screen

(see “What is the ‘start screen’?” on page 17). The start screen always displays 0HQX on the left and 1DPHV on

the right. 0HQX allows you to access your phone’s menus and submenus. 1DPHV allows you to access your phone book (see “Phone book” on page 51).

Scroll keys

Your phone has a scroll key located just below the display screen. The scroll key has two arrows on it that look like V and W. Press these to navigate through your phone’s menus and submenus, as well as through your phone book (See “Phone book” on page 51).

Scroll bar

When you access your phone’s menu and sub- menus, you will notice a scroll bar at the far right of the screen. This bar indicates your location in the menu structure; each “tab” on the bar repre- sents a different menu item.
