36 The Basics
Managing Notifications
Notification icons report the arrival of new messages, calendar events,
alarms, as well as ongoing events, such as when you are in a call.
When you receive a notification, the notification icon will be displayed in the
Status Bar. You can open the Notifications panel to view a list of all recent
notifications. Depending on your settings, you may hear a notification sound
and/or the phone may vibrate.

To open the Notifications panel

# Touch and drag the Status Bar to the bottom of the screen.
OR
# From the Home screen, touch the Menu Key > Notifications.
The Notifications panel displays your wireless provider and a list of
your current notifications, organized into ongoing and event-based
notifications.
When you touch and
hold certain items on
a screen, a Context
menu opens.
