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 page10 and “Personal Tone” on page50.

Scroll key

Your phone has a scroll key located just below your
display. It has two arrows on it that look like s and t.
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 page35 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 t or s 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 t or s 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.
