Backlight

To activate the backlight within the communica-

tor interface, press the button. The back- light will be activated for the amount of time set in the Backlight settings (System application set- tings).

Multi-select function

Where multi-selection is available, you can select several items at once. The commands you use af- fect all of the items selected. Multi-selection works in most lists: for example, you can select several contacts and delete them at once in the Contacts directory, or select several documents and transfer them to your PC at the same time in the System application.

There are two ways to select multiple items:

1.Select the item and press Ctrl+space bar

or

2.Press and hold Shift and move down the list with the arrow keys. To remove an item from the selec- tion, scroll to the item and press Ctrl+Space bar.

If you want to select every item in a list, press Ctrl+A. If you want to remove the selection, press Ctrl+A again or the ESC button.

Settings and Menus

Most applications have Settings as one of the main view commands. The values of these set- tings will be used as defaults for that application. Options chosen elsewhere affect only the docu- ment, card or item which is active or being sent.

Most applications also have Menu as one of the commands. When you press Menu, a pop-up box opens listing a number of new commands which will vary, depending on the application you are in.

Shortcuts

There are several shortcuts you can use in the document applications (SMS, Fax, E-mail, Notes). The following table lists the available shortcuts.

Note: Some of the shortcuts use a control key (Ctrl) combination and others use a char- acter key combination (Chr).
